offbeat columbus is no longer being updated. but there’s a new, four-day-old fledgling over here.
it’ll be much more fun. and though it will carry on in the spirit of offbeat, it’s not strictly local, nor should it suck. art, music, design, crafts, friends, clients, mustaches, brands, marketing, clothes and assorted rubbish. look for upcoming posts on the candle lab, expressly benevolence, tigertree, gra+d, and i love treefort.
cupcakes in the dispatch.
check out jeni’s on the food network, next monday, september 10th, at 9:00 pm, on unwrapped (check your local listings).
the episode — “sweet & salty” — will feature footage shot on location at the production kitchen and grandview ave last march.
no cable? me either. drop in on a friend.
meanwhile, place an order online by september 24th, enter “unwrapped” in the coupon code, and get a 10% discount, plus a free pint of one seasonal flavor (while supplies last) for every order of six pints or more!
ps – salty caramel, anyone? check your rally pack.
a live set from dj monk one.
congratulations to surly girl for being named one of the ‘best bars in america’ by esquire magazine!
“the fairer sex rules at this female-owned saloon, but rest assured: the womanly wiles are dispensed with mae westian sass, not post-riot grrl angst. pigtailed roller derby queens sit elbow to elbow with middle management-types, everybody digging into down-home grub such as frito pie and cherry cola-glazed ribs.”
indeed. and for those of you participating in scoot-a-que 10 september 14, 15, & 16, be sure to sort carefully through your rally pack.
there’ll be no pens, sponges, or corporate swag this year (at least not from us). no. instead, you’ll be getting your choice of either $1 off fresh ice cream from jeni’s, or $5 off a meal from betty’s or surly girl, on us.
just look for the bird:
