Hello Everyone,

It was a hot one last week, but we had a nice crowd in to enjoy the summertime on the back deck at Sangiovese.

This week, we welcome the sensational Cynthia Layne for the dinner hours (7-10pm). Immediately after Cynthia's performance, I will start things up on the wheels and keep the night rollin.' Cynthia will be joining us every Thursday now, as well. If you have not had a chance to hear Cynthia, or if you have yet to dine at Sangiovese, this is a great reason to do both. Stick around for some of the best drinks in town from our friendly staff!

Head north to Sangiovese, Tantivy style! We're there EVERY Thursday night, on the back deck (weather permitting) partying by the waterside.

Cheers,

Greetings everyone,

This week, there is much to celebrate. As many of you have heard by now, we have secured our building for ORANJE 2008. This year's event will take place at 2323 N. Illinois, the same site as ORANJE 2007. After a long and busy offseason, we are extremely excited to be underway with the event planning and marketing phase of ORANJE 2008. We look forward to seeing all of you there on Saturday, September 20th. Please stay tuned to www.oranjeindy.com for detailed information about lineup, sponsors, etc.

Come join the crew this week at Sangiovese to celebrate! Every Thursday, I'm there providing unique tunes and mixes from the DJ's eye view. Get on deck and sit back with a specialty martini or your beverage of choice and vibe out in one of the sexiest spots in town. If you seek something a little more subtle, a nice alternative to the chaos of Broad Ripple, with the backdrop of the White River, look no further. Get on up to Sangiovese on Thursdays and make this your scene!

Drink specials every week.

Soon to be introducing art elements. You know I bleed ORANJE.

Want something new?

I'm offering it to you...for free. There's NO COVER here. Just great music and great people. Come up, head to the back deck, grab your spot on the couch and cool out...

Tantivy!
featuring DJ Helicon & guests
EVERY THURSDAY
Sangiovese Ristorante
4110 E. 82nd St.
Indy's Northside, at 82nd & Dean

See you there,

Ladies and Gentlemen, Start Your Weekends!

It's a beautiful day, and I can tell by the weather and your eagerness to get out of the office that tonight is a perfect night to jump-start the weekend at Sangiovese.

Every Thursday, I'm spinning and we'll be adding new, creative elements to the event each week. It all starts with a great atmosphere, a cool crowd and (for once in this city) GOOD MUSIC. We've all been tortured too much with the 'air-pollution' at most clubs in this city. Thursdays @ Sangiovese are a little different, for a crowd who wants and appreciates swimming off the mainstream.

Hope to see you out tonight. Remember, there is NO COVER, the drinks are fantastic and the staff takes care of you. You just may want to try the BEST Italian food in Naptown.

Don't stay asleep, get up to Sangiovese at 82nd & Dean, each and every Thursday, starting at 10pm.

Helifresh,

Greetings,

I hope you will all find the time to join me amongst great friends and relaxing ambiance at Sangiovese on Thursday nights.

Starting this week, June 26th, I'll be there every Thursday night, and the music will be 'chartless,' avoiding the mainstream and flirting with the deep, underground and under-exposed. Trust me, it won't be boring and it won't be so weird you can't enjoy yourself. It's still a party, y'all! We're just gonna avoid 'Mixtape Hater' Lil Wayne and other disposable 'artists' that get crammed in your ears all day on every commercial music outlet in America. Come see me on Fridays if you wanna hear that stuff. haha!

This is a party for the sophisticated crowd who wants to chill and avoid the drama of the cheesy spots.

You'll dig the drink specials. You'll dig the free appetizers. You'll dig the back deck! You'll dig the no cover charge. You'll dig the crowd. You'll get turned on to music you may not have heard before. It's going to be a great regular night, and I look forward to seeing you all there. We'll be there every Thursday!

Big thanks to the Sangiovese staff! This is truly one of the more special spots in the city. Don't miss out on this!

Cheers,

heli

 WITT Fundraiser Friday at Radio Radio- Mudkids, The Philosophy, Blueprint Music and more!

February 29th event at Radio Radio will engage the community to celebrate, support and participate in 91.9 WITT Community Radio for Central Indiana.

February 29th, leap year, will not be like any other day. It’s the official kick-off of an outreach and fundraising campaign to build on a 15-year journey to get 91.9 WITT Community Radio to Central Indiana.

Fifteen years ago WITT’s founders began a slow and steady process to obtain a license from the FCC for a community radio station in Central Indiana. Since the issuance by the FCC of a Construction Permit for 91.9 FM on May 31, 2007, the movement has expanded. WITT was generously donated a transmitter by Radio One and began a fundraising campaign to acquire the final state-of-the-art equipment that WITT will use on air.

WITT's mission is to provide unparalleled levels of access to the studio, which sets it apart from any other radio station in Central Indiana. The full-powered community radio station, slated to air in the summer of 2008 at their headquarters in Zionsville, will give individuals from all age groups and cultural backgrounds an opportunity to develop their creative talents on radio. The station will offer an adventurous mix of music, local issues coverage, live performing arts broadcasts, national and international broadcasts, radio theatre, storytelling, children and teen's programming, and more.

On Friday, February 29th, at Radio Radio in Fountain Square, local musicians, artists, businesses and community members will celebrate and demonstrate their financial support for 91.9 WITT Community Radio. The evening will feature performances by Mudkids (hip-hop), Kate Lamont & Blueprintmusic (Americana), The Philosophy (hip-hop), Blackberry Jam featuring Jumbo Shrimp (funk/soul) and Sarah Grain (folk/jazz). Doors open at 8:00 pm, and the cost is $7. All proceeds will go directly to 91.9 WITT. Tickets are available at Indy CD and Vinyl, Luna Music, Missing Link Records, Vibes and online at www.brownpapertickets.com. MC will be provided by IndyMojo.com

Event attendees will also be able to bid on donated silent auction and raffle items that will benefit WITT. Items will include concert tickets from Live Nation, a wellness and massage package from Healing Arts Indy, diverse local music and merchandise from Audio Reconnaissance and local artists, a Made in Indiana food basket from Two Cookin’ Sisters, portrait sessions with Crowe’s Eye Photography, a 1” caliper shade tree from Keep Indianapolis Beautiful, Inc., a coffee package from Earth House Coffee Shop, a studio session with Snapjoint Studios, gift certificates to Missing Link Records, and more!

Event organizers are also interested in capturing information from attendees on ways in which they envision themselves being involved in WITT. “WITT will be staffed primarily by volunteers who will have the opportunity to share their interests and areas of expertise,” says Jim Walsh, WITT Board member. “And until we get on the air, we need lots of volunteers to help launch the station.”

For more information about WITT, or to schedule an interview, please contact Stuart Lowry or Jim Walsh at the above information. For information about the February 29th fundraiser, please contact Brooke Klejnot at brooke.klejnot@gmail.com or 317-956-9011.
