New Music to Debut at Jazz Fest | Print |  E-mail
Written by Valparaiso University   

Valparaiso University’s Faculty Jazz Trio will debut music from their new CD “Journey” April 5 during the 25th annual Valpo Jazz Festival, one of the highlights of a week-long event featuring performances by internationally-acclaimed jazz artists and young musicians on campus. vu-jazz-fest

The new compilation showcases not only the group’s skill as performers, but also the trio’s newest original compositions, says percussionist Jeff Brown, assistant professor of music at Valpo.

“We created the CD to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Jazz Festival,” Brown said. “The Faculty Jazz Trio has performed together for more than 30 years. Our first CD, “For the Moment,” was released on the cusp of the 15th annual Jazz Fest, so releasing “Journey” while the festival celebrates its silver anniversary was a perfect fit.”

Thin Mint Cupcakes | Print |  E-mail
Written by Liz Latham   

Welcome to Cupcake Tuesday! If you are new here, grab a cup of tea or a glass of milk and enjoy a cupcake!

During my recent visit to Nashville for the Blissdom Conference, my very dear friend, Dawn, took me by Gigi’s Cupcakes, unfortunately it was Sunday and they weren’t open. But, Dawn was telling me that during the time that the Girl Scouts sell cookies, Gigi’s offers a cupcake and donates a portion of the proceeds to the Girl Scouts. Well, since I don’t sell my cupcakes, I was trying to figure out how I could help the Girl Scouts in our town. And I came up with this idea…for every link, today, I am donating to our local Girl Scout troup.

Then, I needed to come up with a cupcake to share. So, I jumped on Twitter and asked my Tweet buddies, what their favorite Girl Scout cookie was, and the majority rules…Thin Mints

March 6th, 2010 will go down in Valparaiso as the day a Brewery came back to town.

Figure Ei8ht Brewery, the first Valparaiso Brewery since the brewers at AberDeen Brewery folded up shop and moved a county over to start Shoreline Brewery in Michigan City (that’s if I’m getting my story right)

And NWITweeps were there to witness the opening. – And leave it to the Daver to make sure our presence got mentioned in the paper :-P (good work, Daver)

I got there at 1pm to see the Daver, in shorts, waiting for me to show up. And between the two of us, finding a parking spot was the first trick.
