The Stone Temple Pilots have been named to headline the Indianapolis 500 Carb Day festivities. After having Kid Rock here last year, it will be a welcome change. 
This is consistently one of the biggest parties in the city and is usually a fantastic time. 2 years ago, the IMPD was a bit aggressive at early intervention by Taser, but last year seemed to be a bit more subdued.
Looking forward to it this year with the unification of the IRL and Champ Car series. Should be a very competitive and enjoyable race.

I’ve never really thought about this, but it is fairly annoying to have to show your receipt on the way out the door of big box retailers. Basically, they assume you are guilty until you prove yourself innocent. Here is an interesting story of how Wal-Mart treated one of it’s customers.
Next time I go to one of the Big Box retailers, I’m going to see how far they push this issue. It is kind of ridiculous that right after my purchase I have to “show my receipt”. What does that prove anyway? If I were a shoplifter, wouldn’t I have the item stuffed in my pants or something, anyway?
Just more reason to shop with locally owned merchants. At least they don’t make me feel like a criminal when I leave.
