  4. Here are some FUN FALL Date Night Ideas

    by Emily Ross

    Fun Fall Date Ideas

    Looking for some fun and different date ideas?  Here are some interesting things going on in Indy in the next couple months:

    • Hanna Haunted Acres http://www.hannahauntedacres.com—This goes on September 24 thru October 31.  You can get one ticket for all six attractions for $27 on Fridays and Saturdays, or you can buy tickets individually for each attraction for $13 a piece on Sunday thru Thursday.  I am scared to death of haunted houses, but somehow my friends can convince me to go along.  I’ve heard that this one is the best in Indy!
    • Traders Point Creamery Small Plates and Half Price Wine http://www.tpforganics.com/ —Every Wednesday night from 5-9:00 pm (9/28 thru 12/28).  This sound like an awesome deal to sample a lot of different food and have some cheap drinks!
    • Some fun concerts—The Avett Brothers are going to be at The Lawn at White River on Saturday, October 1 at 7:30 pm and Foster the People will be at The Vogue (Air-Tan’s neighbor) on Tuesday, October 4 at 8:00 pm.
    • Heartland Film Festival http://www.trulymovingpictures.org/—There are several different theatres around Indy that are showing films October 13-22.  I think this will be fun to go see movies, like documentaries, that you can’t normally see in theatres.  Tickets are $7.50 in advance or $9 at the door.

     

    Do you know of any other fun events going on around town?

  5. Its Time For Some Fall TV (new seasons & new programs)

    by Emily Ross

    Fall TV 2011

     

    I am way more of a “tv person” than a “movie person,” so this time of year is great because there are all new shows coming out, PLUS my faves are returning with new seasons!

    Here are a couple of new shows that I am looking forward to:

    ~ The Playboy Club (Mondays, 10pm, NBC)—Mad Men is one of my favorite shows (Ok, I have a lot of favorite shows…), but it’s not coming back til March.  The Playboy Club’s whole 1960’s feel and the drama of it will give me a little fix until Mad Men comes back on.

    ~ America’s Next Top Model (Wednesdays, 9pm, CW)—I’ve kind of stopped watching this show over the past few years, but I am really excited about this cycle because they are bringing back all the favorites from the beginning seasons.  I’m excited to see some of the old girls and see what they have been up to since they’ve been on the show.

    And here are just some of my returning favorites:

    • The Middle (Wednesdays, 8pm, NBC)
    • Modern Family (Wednesdays, 9pm, CBS)
    • Community (Thursdays, 8pm, NBC)
