In September, 2008, Hoosiers from across the state will travel to Lafayette, IN to attend the Turn Indiana Blue (TIB) Music Festival. The festival will take place on September 7th and is expected to draw at least 7,500 attendees from Indiana and surrounding states throughout the day, beginning at 11 AM and closing at 8:30 PM. The festival is a rare example of true grassroots citizen power – funded and organized
entirely by local volunteers and not sponsored by any campaign or organization.

TIB will feature 14 musical acts, including headliner Kristopher Roe of the Ataris and several popular local and regional bands performing on two stages. Between acts, prominent Indiana Democratic leaders and candidates will address the crowd, including Sheila Klinker, Nels Ackerson, Tony Roswarski, and Richard Wood. Full event schedule is posted online. Through the use of Renewable Energy Credits (REC's) to offset emissions, the festival will be completely carbon-neutral. Read More...

K. Dees Coffee and Roasting Company will host an artist reception for photographer Johnny Klemme's "DOUBLEXPOSURE" show on May 9th, from 6-9pm.

DOUBLEXPOSURE is a global art project where one photographer shoots a roll of film and passes it onto another photographer, who shoots directly over the first set of photos. These ‘happy accidents’ are proof that inspiration can come from any aspect of life around you.

Johnny will also be signing his book "this is a culturecast".

K. Dees Coffee is located at 1016 Main Street, Lafayette Indiana. 765.423.7400.
