posters on the wall

Wuhnurth Entertainment recently hosted a concert at our old hangout in Muncie, which is now called Be Here Now. The owner, Whitney, has woven live music and craft beers together to create a perfect venue.

Another HUGE bonus is that Be Here Now allows ages 18 & up in, unlike most venues around the state, which are for ages 21 & up ONLY. Kids who are ages 18-20 rarely get to see local/regional jam bands in the winter since they can't go to bars.

The poster I designed for the event is to the right.

The event was a HUGE success. Look for some more shows by Wuhnurth Entertainment to take place at Be Here Now in the near future. Thanks to everyone who helped make the night a success!

Speaking of posters I designed AND local music AND not having to be 21, the Local Artist Series is taking place at Stable Studios (home of Wuhnurth) on February 26th.

The event will feature singer/songwriters, poets, and artists from the Midwest. The event will also feature great craft beer by Sun King, a local wine tasting, and UBER-Local food harvested just yards away from the lounge.

Our good friends Jess Wesley of Stable Studios and Megan Maudlin, the five-foot folk singer, have worked really hard to put this great event together. It should be a blast!

what i'm reading...

I'm about half way through Slow Food Nation: Why Our Food Should Be Good, Clean, And Fair right now. If you know much about me, you know that James and I are both passionate about the environment and being foodies; this book plays into both of those so much. 

"Carlo Petrini's manifesto makes switching from grabbing dinner from a drive-thru to seeking out environmentally friendly foods seem not just worth the effort, but necessary." -- Atlantan


Petrini is the father of the Slow Food movement. His first-hand accounts pair with extensive research on a variety of topics, all in efforts to help us understand why our food should be good, clean, and fair. Not only does he tell us the why, but more importantly, the how. The three central principles to follow are: 

1. Food must be sustainably produced in ways that are sensitive to the environment.
2. Those who produce the food must be fairly treated.
3. The food must be healthful and delicious.

I've been interested in this topic for a few years now, but this book is a great read even if you haven't read much on these topics. 

Afterall, you are what you eat; do you want to be a genetically modified organism?

Oh man, keeping up on this blog is harder than I thought. I've got plenty of things to blog about, just never got around to it, so here we go...
