The Copper Whiskey Bar & Grill is open! They’re located at 101 E Main street in downtown Bozeman (where Looie’s Down Under used to be). I had lunch there yesterday and was thoroughly impressed with my food and surroundings. The Copper Whiskey Bar & Grill experiment must have cost a pretty penny. The owners definitely [...]

If You Can't Get Out Of It, Get Into It

Michelle — Tue, 08 Jan 2013 13:59:17 +0000

By far the best quote I’ve heard in a long time and it couldn’t come at a better time for me. I don’t know where it came from originally but it’s now my official creed to live by. Take a look at my desk. It’s consistently covered in sticky notes, mail, sales packages, new music [...]

Michelle — Sun, 16 Dec 2012 21:53:09 +0000

Across the street from where I’m staying has become a real life, ever increasing display of rad. I love Christmas lights, inflatable snowmen, blinking reindeer and flashing stars. When I was a kid, my dad put up the obligatory fat bulb multi-colored lights around the garage and that was about it for the outside tribute [...]

Rich Ledoux — Tue, 04 Dec 2012 21:34:12 +0000

Even though I am not a religious person, I came across a book written by a Pastor and Health expert that looks quite interesting. Rev.

Jeremy Taylor — Mon, 05 Nov 2012 20:55:12 +0000

As of now, 17 states have laws requiring voters to present photo ID before voting. Some have suggested these regulations may act to disenfranchise poor and minority voters, who could be less likely to have such identification. Last month a judge in Pennsylvania blocked the state from enforcing its voter ID laws in the 2012 election.

Sunday Brunch- 11.14.12- Playlist

Elle Fine — Sun, 04 Nov 2012 20:36:30 +0000

Ladies, if you think that the new Healthcare bill (Obamacare) will protect your reproductive rights, your family and your business- think again. Educate yourselves. Read the bill. The 'Right' may be talking like they are out of the 1950's but the 'Left' has laid out the stepping stones to hell. It's that terrifying. Read the [...]

Here’s my top ten list of celebrity music video cameos: Gorillaz – “Stylo“: Did you miss a recent Bruce [...]

Rich Ledoux — Thu, 04 Oct 2012 19:04:42 +0000

No one giving out candy on Halloween likes when high school kids show up at their door with some mediocre costume they just slapped together demanding the candy they bought for cute little kids.

A theater in London has employed people to dress in black bodysuits and quiet down rowdy moviegoers. Do you think these “movie ninjas” need to make the trip overseas? The disguised users work in exchange for free admission to the movie and target people who are doing all the stuff that that annoys you at [...]

My 5 month-old just had her first music class last night. My wife and I enrolled her in this great program at Belgrade Music Academy. Pass on the gift of music early and often, they’re never too young! I just wanted to thank Ms. Rachel for all the love and music she is passing on [...]

What Was Your Summer 2012 Jam? [VIDEO]

Rich Ledoux — Mon, 13 Aug 2012 15:51:04 +0000

Summer is winding down, I think it’s safe to name the song(s) that epitomized that warm, good feeling.

Why Aren't There More Olympic Movies? [VIDEO]

Rich Ledoux — Thu, 02 Aug 2012 14:53:19 +0000

I love the Olympics, in particular the Summer Olympics. Every four years I get way caught up in the back-story drama (NBC, I know what you're doing but I still love it). With all the real life drama behind what it takes to compete in the Olympics and win a medal, why hasn't this been reenacted on the big screen more often?

29-year-old Jackie Samuel loves snuggling so much that she started a business called The Snuggery, in which clients pay her $60 an hour for a relaxing cuddling session.
