...knowing that it's ORANJE time!
we have officially moved into our building at 2323 N. Illinois. last saturday, adam and i, along with a group of our most loyal volunteers (PK, Fox, Beth, Laurel & Joy) emptied our storage unit (goodbye extra storage expense) and moved our not-so-light load in through our favorite overhead door. this friday, we will pick up our printed marketing materials and i will begin hitting this streets this weekend while the rest of the core team takes one final respite before the main drag.
in case you did not see it, NUVO made the official announcement for ORANJE 2008 in yesterday's edition (wednesday, august 6, 2008, 'best of indy' issue) with a half page ad on page 5. speaking of NUVO, we're glad to have them back again this year, and be sure to catch them with us at Penrod on saturday, september 6th at the IMA grounds. as well, don't forget to check out the NUVO Arts Guide that comes out that week. this is all you need to catch a glimpse of Indy's art scene, whether you're new to town, or a creative veteran.
we'd also like to officially welcome our newest set of sponsors for 2008. Scion has agreed to sponsor a live art exhibit at the event, and i hear a few cars may be getting painted. be sure to visit Butler Scion if you're shopping for a new whip to roll to ORANJE this year, and be on the lookout for this exhibit when you walk into the event this year (in fact, if you're not looking out, you may just run right into it).
additionally, we have signed on The Great Frame Up for a 4th straight year (BIG shout out to Bruce and Scott, you guys have been great over the years and we're really excited about what you'll be doing this year). as well, we welcome the return of IndyMojo, who will be taking on the majority of our street level promotions. look for the ORANJE Indy Mojo Street Team as we give The Blast to indy over the next 6 weeks. finally, we have secured 11th hour deals with SALT Catering, Sequences Design, and Batical 1 Products, all long time members of the ORANJE family (very special thanks to Fox/Batical 1 for a seventh straight ORANJE!). the Helicon Lounge may sound a little different this year at ORANJE, but unique collaborations, working the angles, and new situations can make for a fresh experience. i guess you'll just have to attend ORANJE 2008 to discover what's in store...speaking of that, you will not want to miss the experience of the ORANJE 2008 Savvy Fashion Lounge. wow.
coming up on saturday, august 16th is the 3rd 'Peel' event at Subterra. Peel: Your Way To ORANJE, highlights various ORANJE artists and musicians and offers us an expanded base from which we can promote our main event, ORANJE. this time, we feature the high-energy musical collaboration of Kenny Sutton and Rhythm Meltdown. we'll be partyin all night so come down and take a bite of our ORANJE crew.

look for us at Penrod (saturday, september 6th), out on the streets at various events (Mudkids at Spin on saturday night, september 6th; 1st Fridays on Mass Ave; Subsurface; etc) and of course, at ORANJE 2008 on Saturday, September 20th at 2323 N. Illinois St. in downtown Indy.
Indulge Your Senses,
Ryan
aka Helicon (of the Mudkids)
