ABOUT HYRYDER:
Hyryder – regarded as the Midwest’s premier Grateful Dead tribute band, has been captivating audiences with their riveting live performances since 2008. The quintet – Charlie Morgan (lead guitar, vocals), Nick Neureiter (drums, vocals), Eric Thompson (rhythm guitar, vocals), Blair Ping (bass, vocals) and Kirby Hammel (keyboards, vocals), is the embodiment of passion, devotion, and the unwavering love for the legendary band that influenced a generation. Their quest to keep the Dead’s music alive has become their mission, and they carry this torch with distinction.
Hyryder’s live performances are an immersive experience that transports the audience to a place where time ceases to exist. Their set lists are always unique, tailored to each show, allowing for a level of spontaneity that keeps even the most seasoned Deadheads on the edge of their seats. The band’s ability to recreate both the improvisational and composed aspects of Dead’s music with such accuracy is breathtaking, with extended jams that take on a life of their own, culminating in moments of musical transcendence.
Over a decade of legendary shows across the Midwest has garnered them a loyal following that grows with every performance. Their appearances at The Mousetrap in Indianapolis are always eagerly anticipated, and their reputation has earned them a spot at the prestigious Skull & Roses Festival in Ventura, California, where they showcased their talents to an even wider audience. In 2023 Hyryder has played major sets at All In Festival, and Gratefulfest.
Hyryder’s music is more than just a tribute to the Grateful Dead; it’s a celebration of life, love, and the human spirit.

Hidden Gems of Cox Arboretum

By

Cox Arboretum MetroPark is famous for its beautifully landscaped gardens, water features, Monet Bridge, the tree tower, weddings, and events at the beautiful Zorniger Education Center.

Less known are the beautiful, wooded hiking trails:

Starting at the parking lot, you can get on the paved path to the right of the visitor’s center and walk into the Woodland Wildflower Area where you can join the red trail, a short 0.6 mile loop, and part of the MetroParks Trails Challenge.

If you are up for a longer loop, take the 1.1 mile blue loop trail as it splits to the right and head into the woods and past a lovely overlook.

For a longer hike on the 1.8 mile yellow loop, pass the blue loop turnoff and keep going along the blue and red combined trail until you can turn right on the yellow loop. This trail takes you deeper into the woods and allows for a surprising amount of hill work. Try the yellow loop twice to get in a nice 5k trail run. To mix it up, run one loop clockwise and one counterclockwise.
When you come out of the woods take time to experience the amazing gardens, Children’s Maze, gazebos and water features. Finally, climb the tree tower for a spectacular view of the woods you just went through and the surrounding area.

Chicken Al Pastor Is Back At Chioptle

By

Chipotle Mexican Grill today announced it is bringing back Chicken al Pastor to restaurants around the world for a limited time starting today. Back by popular demand, Chicken al Pastor levels up any go-to Chipotle order with a sophisticated flavor profile and elevated taste.

Sweet Heat Sizzles at Chipotle
Chicken al Pastor debuted in March 2023 as Chipotle’s first global menu innovation, delighting fans in the U.S., Canada, U.K., France and Germany with a new flavor that quickly became a fan favorite. Prepared fresh daily in small batches, Chicken al Pastor is made with fresh chicken hot off the grill, a rich marinade of seared morita peppers and ground achiote, balanced with a splash of pineapple for the right amount of heat, finished with fresh lime, and hand-chopped cilantro. Chicken al Pastor’s tenderness and bold flavor captured the taste buds of guests who have flooded Chipotle’s social media comments petitioning for the return of the protein since it left menus last August. There have been three times more requests to “bring back Chicken al Pastor” on social media than any other limited time offering in the brand’s history.

“About one in five transactions included Chicken al Pastor when it was featured on our menu last year,” said Chris Brandt, Chief Brand Officer. “Given the performance and the fans wanting its return so enthusiastically, we are thrilled to make this the fastest item to ever come back to Chipotle.”

The Fan Favorite Chicken al Pastor Entrée
Chipotle is revealing the most ordered Chicken al Pastor burrito bowl among fans in 2023, which includes White Rice, Black Beans, Fresh Tomato Salsa, Roasted Chili-Corn Salsa, Cheese and Guac. Vice President of Culinary Nevielle Panthaky says, “The rich flavor of our Chicken al Pastor shines in the fan favorite bowl. Each ingredient layers for the perfectly balanced bite with the right level of sweetness, acidity, and heat. It is simple, flavorful, unbelievably delicious, and has everything you crave.”

The “Most Ordered Chicken al Pastor Bowl” is available for convenient one-tap digital ordering in the Chipotle app, Chipotle.com and Chipotle.ca. Chipotle is celebrating the menu item’s return with a $0 delivery fee offer* on all Chicken al Pastor orders placed through the Chipotle app, Chipotle.com and Chipotle.ca from March 14 through March 24 in the U.S. and Canada.

Ramadan Has Begun

By

The 2024 Ramadan season starts began March 10 and ends April 9. This is an annual holiday for Islam that is known for daily fasting. The fast entails abstinence from eating, drinking, smoking and sexual relations during daylight hours to achieve greater “taqwa”, or consciousness of God. The word “Ramadan” itself comes from the Arabic term “Ramad / Ramida,” which means scorching heat or drought. Fasting symbolizes abstinence from eating, drinking, and other physical needs during daylight hours. Fasting is one of the Five Pillars of Islam, emphasizing piety, self-discipline, and spiritual reflection.

What Does Ramadan Celebrate?

Islam tradition believes that the Prophet Muhammad was given the Qur’an, Islam’s holy text, during Ramadan, according to Britannica.

What Do Muslims Do During Ramadan?

Ramadan is a time of self reflection, prayer and studying the Qur’an.

 

Muslims practice restraint, one of the five pillars of Islam, during Ramadan. Fasting is the most well known practice of restraint during Ramadan, but it can be interpreted to include sexual activity, immoral behavior and impure or unkind thoughts.

The restraint from these activities is practiced from sun up to sun down. During this time, Muslims may not eat or drink, including water. Muslims will generally eat breakfast before dawn and dinner after dusk. The early morning breakfast is called suhur, and is most commonly eaten at home. The evening meal is called iftar and is often a communal event. Iftar may take place at mosques or community centers.

Because fasting is physically taxing, exemptions are often given for children, elderly, pregnant women and the ill.

The end of the Ramadan fast is celebrated as one of the two major Muslim holidays, called Eid ul-Fitr,  Gifts, celebrations, special prayers and sermons are common for Eid ul-Fitr.
