Happy Thanksgiving! I am thankful for all of you loyal Broad Ripple Gazette readers. I am thankful for all of the venue owners that open their doors for live music. I am thankful for all of the service people that work whacky hours in those venues. I am thankful for all of the musicians who share their talents with us. And most of all I am thankful for all of the music fans who support the community. Please thank each other next time you're out enjoying music.
Cranksgiving Indy 2013

Indy Bike Hub YMCA
242 E. Market Street - 9:30 am to 1:00 pm, all-ages, $10
It feels weird for me not to be telling you about the Tonic Ball this year, but the Tonic Ball benefiting Second Helpings and held in Fountain Square is already sold out. If you're not one of the 1600 people that already have tickets to the Friday, November 22 music extravaganza - or if you're a hardy sort - this is the event for you.
Cranksgiving is a combination casual bike ride, scavenger hunt and food drive all rolled up into one fun event benefitting Second Helpings. The ride starts from the historic Indianapolis City Market. Rider check-in opens at 9:30 AM, and the ride starts at 10:30.
This is the second year for Cranskgiving in Indianapolis. Last year more than 30 Cranskgiving rides were held across the United States and the Indy ride was the third largest! Over 100 riders participated collecting 240 pounds of spices, condiments & pasta from grocery stores and 140 pounds of fresh produce from local urban farms.
Cranksgiving is also a great way to see the city, participants will be given locations of places in and around downtown Indianapolis where they will ride and gather food items that are carried back to the start/finish location and donated to Second Helpings. Locations are not announced until you arrive on-site and there is no predetermined route - or even an order in which you must visit the stops.
Based on your knowledge of Indianapolis, riders will cover about 10-15 miles. However, it is left up to you to figure out the best route to the locations, purchase the food item specified and return to the start/finish area safely.
Registration is $10 per rider and participants will likely spend another $5-10 during the ride purchasing food. All proceeds benefit Second Helpings.

Indy Hostel
4903 Winthrop Ave - all-ages, 7:00 - 9:30 pm, $15
Indy Hostel is hosting a house concert style in-the-round show, and boy is it a great lineup! There is nothing better than talented singer-songwriters trading songs and stories.
This is the tenth year for the hostel and they have been hosting music since the beginning and it's always lovely. The vibe is welcoming and people are there to hear the music. In house concert tradition you can come early and enjoy a pitch-in dinner. Vegetarian chili will be available. Bring a snack or covered dish to share and your favorite beverage.
Both Cara Jean Marcy's record Goodnight Charlotte and Tim Grimm's Heart Land are in constant rotation in my CD player. I'm looking forward to picking up a copy of Tim's latest record The Turning Point. Chicago's Heather Styka rounds out the trio of songwriters.
I can't wait!
Not-for-profit director by day, music writer by night, Nora Spitznogle reviews music that happened and previews music and events around Broad Ripple Village. Nora managed CATH Inc coffeehouse at 54th Street and College Avenue for seven years. During that time she hosted hundreds of local and touring musicians, both at the coffeehouse and her home. When CATH closed in 2004 and the music was no longer coming to her, she had to wander from her corner of Broad Ripple to see what is happening elsewhere. You can find her at Second Helpings during the work day, waitressing at the Red Key on Saturday nights and prowling Broad Ripple music venues the rest of the time.
