On May 26th the Naptown Buzz Crew had the privilege of checking out the new Go Ape Treetop Adventure Course at Eagle Creek Park.
While many may be thinking this is just another zipline course, that is not the case with Go Ape. This course is more of a five part obstacle course, IN THE TREE TOPS, made up of rope ladders and dozens of obstacle crossings, each ending with a zip line ride. You can watch the video to see for yourself what we’re talking about.
Bottom line, this can be a little difficult, especially if you’re a little out of shape, but it is very rewarding and a lot of fun.
The cost is currently $55 per person (18+) and $35 for children (10-17) and should take you 2-3 hours depending how fast your group can make it around the obstacles.
Note: there is a $5 parking fee to enter the park.
Victory Field in downtown Indianapolis was rocking Friday night for the Indianapolis Indians home opener against the Toledo Mud Hens in front of a record setting home opener crowd of 14,073.
Maybe it was the unusual warmth we’ve had this year so far that brought everyone out. Or maybe it was the downtown electricity still flowing from the Super Bowl. But you could feel the excitement in the air and the smell of burgers and brats reminded us that summer is arriving and it’s time for the greatest summer pastime.
One of the largest off-field talked about items was the new Indianapolis Indians Victory Lager brewed by Indianapolis based Sun King Brewing. While I was unable to have any myself, as with any Sun King beer I’ve had, I have no doubt it’s good.
On the field there was no shortage of excitement either. With a tied ballgame in the bottom of the ninth, based loaded, two outs, designated hitter Nick Evans (22) singled to bring in left fielder Gorkys Hernandez (7) for the winning run, giving the Indians a 3-2 victory and bring their season record to .500 at 4-4. The victory went to reliever Daniel McCutchen (2.0 IP, 1 BB, 3 SO), who improved to 1-0 on the season.
Following the game we had our first Friday Night Fireworks of the season, which is always fun to stick around for.
The only downside to the evening, also 60-degree Guarantee Night, was the fact that it was 62-degrees at the first pitch, thus everyone in attendance didn’t get a free ticket to another April home game. But is that really a downside? Not hardly! It was a fantastic evening at the Vic and we look forward to bringing you regular coverage of the team throughout the season.
The Tribe is home through next Friday, so check the April schedule and be sure to make it out to a game.
For your viewing pleasure, here are some of our top pictures of the evening, including the winning run, Naptown Baby Buzz, Mel McMahon interviewing John “My Car Doc” Cannon, Rowdie & the fireworks.
INDIANAPOLIS – ComedySportz Indianapolis is set to host the 27th Annual ComedySportz World Championship July 20-23, 2011. This marks the first time the tournament has come to the Circle City. All of the matches will be held at The Athenaeum, 401 E. Michigan Street. A portion of the ticket sales will be donated to the Indiana State Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Tickets for matches range from $15 to $20, with nightly ticket packages available for $25 to a SUPER FAN PASS for ALL matches only $99. Tickets and more information are available by calling The ComedySportz Theatre at (317) 951-8499 or visit www.indycomedysportz.com/tournament
ComedySportz is a fun, fast-paced, improvisational comedy show that is geared to all ages. In the vein of “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” ComedySportz is improvisational comedy played as a sport. ComedySportz is an international organization with over 20 cities, with teams in the U.S., as well as a team in Manchester, UK., and Berlin, Germany. During each match, two teams battle for laughs and points as they make up scenes, games and songs on the spot. The audience votes for the winners and a referee calls the fouls, including a groaner foul for bad puns.
The tournament will feature four nights of competition among national and international ComedySportz cities. Each show leading up to the championship match will feature four different teams from four different cities. The two teams that emerge victorious in those early rounds will compete in the late show on Saturday for the World Championship, with one city emerging as the world champ.
“ComedySportz Indianapolis has always sent a team to the World Championship and it has been a dream of ours to host it in our home town. I think all of the ComedySportz cities will really enjoy what Indianapolis has to offer.” said ComedySportz Indianapolis Executive Director, Mia Lee Bauman. “We can’t wait for the shows. They’ll be a good introduction to ComedySportz for people who don’t know us yet, but for our current fan-base there is nothing that matches the positive excitement and comic variety that a championship show offers. Personally, I’ve been doing this for eighteen years and have been in over 800 shows, but I still get swept up in the energy that comes out of any of the championship matches.”
