This Friday is going to be awesome! Not only are there a ton of events but lots of restaurants are having specials thanks to the marathon. Today i will have 2 blog posts ( one for today and one for the weekend) because there is so much going on this weekend i just cant fit it all into one, so stay tuned for Saturday and Sundays events too! Also it's bike to work day in ogden! Did you bike to work or take advantage of he free pancake breakfast for cyclists? i want to hear about it!

If you didn't catch the news on Indie Ogden's facebook page then here it is:
i am happy to say i am on the advisory board for the Ogden Local Music Awareness Coalition that was just unveiled TONIGHT! i am not on any one's team, i am here to help the music scene as a whole for the benefit of all. I want to see Ogden thrive and flourish to it's full potential and i believe this is one of the ways we can achieve that! I love all the venues,bands and supporters of Ogden's music scene and i know if we all work together we can create something amazing. Each venue is so unique in Ogden, with different walks of life, musical genres and scenes. If we work together to help each other then Ogden CAN and WILL have an amazing BOOMING and SUCCESSFUL music scene. Lets put our differences aside and wok together! Together we can make this happen, let us visualize the potential we have as a team !"A house divided against itself can not stand." Abraham Lincoln
