Matt Louden — Mon, 18 Mar 2013 12:31:00 -0400

Since 1998, the Ann Katz Festival has brought a steady stream of writers and fellow travelers to town. Last November, however, Hurricane Sandy had other plans, making it impossible for a few writers and artists to make it to Indy.…

InConjunction 2012: Who, Trek and Filk

Hanna Fogel — Mon, 09 Jul 2012 18:30:00 -0400

I spent the weekend of July 6-8 at InConJunction, a sci-fi/fantasy convention put on by the local fan club Circle of Janus. This was InCon's 32nd running, and it looks the Circle of Janus know what it's doing at this point, given the sheer amount of programming on offer.…

(Promo) One of My Favorite Indy Weekends

Sarah Myer — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 04:00:00 -0400

Summer has come and basically gone. It has been a whirlwind and probably a large reason as to why my blogging has been on a diet these past few months, but I couldn't resist just a wee post about one of my favorite weekends in Indy (as stressful as it is, it's great).

I'm sure there are a lot of events this weekend, but every year I look forward to it because it includes Irish Fest and Oranje.

Irish Fest is September 18th-20th at Military Park.…

(music) Bonnaroo, Day 3 afternoon

Scott Shoger — Sat, 13 Jun 2009 04:00:00 -0400

Well, there is wi-fi and air conditioning here in the press hospitality tent, but the beer (and even food) alas, isn't free.

I was just about to comment about how the weather is a little more tolerable today, with a slight breeze picking up every now and then to counter the 80 some degrees and baking sun. But that was before I tried to watch more than a half hour of a show on the main stage, AKA the What Stage.…

(Promo) Sarah Out & About: Silver in the City is Golden

Sarah Myer — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 04:00:00 -0400

When people come to visit me who are new to the city, I seem to hear a similar comment out of them-- "Everyone is so nice here."

When working at events and working at NUVO, sometimes, well, you don't always see this. There are the people that come to the NUVO table at an event saying our paper is full of a bunch of dumb liberals.…

(NUmedia) Steak and Shake severs ties with new agency

Josh Schuler — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 04:00:00 -0400

Still within the first quarter of a 26-month agreement, embattled Indianapolis-based chain Steak and Shake has severed ties with The Varnson Group, an ad firm out of Georgia that won the $4.36 million competitive bid process.

Equally surprising are the suit and counter suit filed by each party.…

(Promo) Sarah Out and About: Ready for baseball

Sarah Myer — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 04:00:00 -0400

My friend Emily won big at a Bingo game back in February that won her tickets to the Pacers/Cavs game last night. Walking into the game, I had mixed feelings.…

NuMedia: Is Twitter "F'ed"?

Josh Schuler — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 04:00:00 -0400

comScore, a leading provider of internet usage and demographic statisitics, revealed some surprising information yesterday in regard to the usage of the popular social networking site, Twitter.

(Full disclosure: NUVO is registered with comScore as is our national advertising partner, Ruxton Media.)

Most would assume that the "highly desirable" 25-34 demographic would be the most likely to be on the site at any given time. However, the boomers from 45-54 are actually more likely than any other group, nearly twice as likely as the 18-24 group to be active on the site.…

Sarah Out and About: White Lies and Upcoming Shows

Sarah Myer — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 04:00:00 -0400

So I don't claim to be any kind of expert on music or know what is the best out there right now. I mean, my music collection is pretty random (random=NSync, The Shins, Bob Marley's Greatest Hits, The Space Jam Soundtrack---shut up, it's so good!).…

NUmedia: Promises Kept

Josh Schuler — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 04:00:00 -0400

I had to take a bit of a hiatus from NUmedia due to the end of our fiscal year (Happy 19th Birthday, NUVO!), but I'm back and thanks to all of your who inquired about my absence. All is well.

While I had to let go of writing for a bit, I kept up on my reading and came across a line on Seth Godin's the All Marketers Are Liars Blog , "It doesn't seem fair that it's not just good enough to be correct or qualified or the best value.…

Sarah's First Blog: Out and About

Sarah Myer — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 04:00:00 -0400

I am the Promotions and Marketing Manager here at NUVO---so, if you can imagine, I'm out---a lot.

But not just for my job.…

NUmedia: TIME Magazine's First Annual Blog Index

Josh Schuler — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 04:00:00 -0500

TIME Magazine has published their First Annual Blog Index. Typically, I would argue that "Top Blogs" from TIME Magazine would be similar to Danica Patrick's Oscar picks- that is, kind of interesting to look at but not really pertinent.…

NUmedia: Guest Spot Warren Wilkinson of the ICVA

Josh Schuler — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 04:00:00 -0500

In January I wrote a post about the Indianapolis Convention and Visitors Association Annual Conference where they discussed at length the ICVA's new partnership with Young and Laramore as well as the initiative to rebrand our fair city. This topic interests me deeply- and on several different levels.

First, rebranding a city is an effort on a grand scale that will involve all of the principals that I so enjoy writing about: Establishing a new story for the city, finding the outlets where that story can be told, creating partnerships and working with media.…

NUmedia: Facebook Owns My...Blog

Josh Schuler — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 04:00:00 -0500

Yesterday I had fun skewering Lev Grossman's article, "Facebook is for Old Fogies" and celebrating the fifth birthday of the world's largest social network.

However, quickly the hot topic became Facebook's update to the TOS (terms of service).…

NUmedia: ChaCha Helps Tax Stalwart Reach Young Consumers

Josh Schuler — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 04:00:00 -0500

Local mobile search giant ChaCha has parntnered with H&R Block for the tax services company's first SMS advertising campaign. In a release, H&R block cited the leap in volume last year (25%) in tax related searches via ChaCha's mobile answer service.…

NUmedia: Mark Cuban's Stimulus Plan

Josh Schuler — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 04:00:00 -0500

My plan for today was to have a campy little post comparing and contrasting Valentine's Day ads. It's Friday.…
