Update on the Thursday Night event I mentioned above-
Red Bull TNT Motocross
8PM - 12AM
Thursday, 9/11/08
For those of you not familiar with Indy, the Broad Ripple Arts District is one of the City's premier dining and nightlife areas - there are probably forty bars and eateries within walking distance, including some of Indy's better locally-owned restaurants. Red Bull has arranged to have the City block off the main strip so they can put on three MX stunt shows in the evening.
The owner of the bar I work at -
Mineshaft Saloon - has informed me that he's providing the Red Bull promo team with storefront space to serve as their event headquarters. His understanding is that they will have one of the GP bikes on site, and may possibly be having a meet & greet with Nicky Hayden. Our other bar -
Rock Lobster - is supposed to be hosting the Red Bull VIP party, which is actually open to the public (kinda defeats the "VIP" premise...), and offering a pretty killer deal on Skyy Vodka & Red Bull.
For those of you riding in, monitored pay lots are available in a couple locations right off the strip - so someone can keep an eye on the bike while you're walking around. Broad Ripple is about ten or fifteen minutes from just about any of the major hotel areas (Downtown, Keystone at the Crossing, Castleton, 465 & Michigan).
Apologies for the extended commercial, but it's not very often that the City shuts down Broad Ripple Ave for a street festival or event. Every time they do it's a pretty big party, so I thought I'd share the FYI.
