Broad Ripple Music Fest – Night 1 10/14/2011

I can sum up my first night at the 5th Annual Broad Ripple Music Fest this way:

1) Hip-hop takes on a whole new dimension when the subject is whales

2) Vess Ruhtenberg should perform more often.

3) Kate Lamont has a great voice but it’s no competition for extreme hunger and West Coast Tacos parked around the corner.

4) As much as I love the concept of smangin it, sometimes you just need to go to bed.

The fest continues today. Get out there Indy.
