The Indianapolis Tennis Championships and the ATP tour is back in town again this summer in Indy.
Admittedly the field is weaker this year than in previous years. Only one player currently ranked in the ATP tour world rankings top-30 is in the field at this tournament--James Blake (# 8). There is still some compelling and exciting tennis though! I have been out twice to watch evening sessions. In fact the pictures included in this blog were taken from the spectacular front row seats that Circle City Tickets sells for this event. The tournament provides a great chance to see world-class tennis up close. For many sessions you can sit a few rows up from the court for $30! Just last night I watched the always exciting James Blake and the up and coming American Sam Querry in two fun matches.
If you have a free afternoon or evening get out and watch some professional tennis at the Indianapolis Tennis Championships. Despite the relative lack of big-name stars, the tennis is still great! If you want some really great seats, give your local ticket broker Circle City Tickets a call for some great seats!
As most of you know this is the final season the New York Yankees will be in Yankee Stadium in the Bronx. So the demand for tickets to see a game in the legandary stadium has been quite high. I recenty sold a regular customer tickets to see the Yankees and he caught a foul ball from Derek Jeter. So in other words its a great time to "catch" a piece of history and take in a MLB game at Yankee Stadium. Here at Circle City Tickets we can take care of all of your entertainment needs, be them a MLB game a summer concert or an upcoming NFL game.
How we helped.
YOU CAN HELP TO! -
CLICK TO DONATE TO THE AMERICAN RED CROSS!
Now that summer is here we can look forward to all the traditions that come with it. Namely concerts and baseball. I personally have been fortunate enough this summer to experience both, a Chicago Cubs game at Wrigley and a show at The Lawn at White River. Here at www.circlecitytickets.com we have a great selection of both MLB tickets and outdoor amphitheatre tickets. So give us a call or shop online for great seats and soak in some summer traditions .
Located on the lower level, these tickets will be offered for auction through eBay starting Friday, June 13 and ending the morning of Monday, June 23. Along with the tickets, the highest bidder will also receive a $100 dollar gift certificate to St. Elmo’s Steakhouse.
“We could have simply made a donation to the American Red Cross,” said Renny Harrison. “We felt the interest in the Colts/Bears Super Bowl rematch would draw more attention to an auction and enable Circle City Tickets, an innovative way to build awareness of the need to raise money and support the community at the same time.”
100% of the proceeds from this auction will be distributed to the Monroe County American Red Cross. More information can be found at www.circlecitytickets.com..

What has happened to Roger Federer? The once almost unbeatable Swiss tennis star has looked unthinkably average this season. We tennis fans have seen enough.
Some sources report that Federer struggled though a case of Mononucleosis earlier this year which sapped his energy and hampered his play. Other sports writers have mentioned the word "slump." No Way. Rog Fed does not have a slump, EVER. Roger dominates. Other sources floated notions of injuries, ailments, and some people even had the goofishly stupid notion that Roger had lost his edge. Foolishness.
In an effort to understand this unsolved uber-mystery, scholars not from Harvard and Yale 
formed a distinquished panel of research specialists drawn from various fields of science (physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, sports science, medicine, phsychology, etc) working together to study the baffling decline in Roger Federer's game in 2008. After months of research, tests, field work, examinations, etc., the committee formed again and published their conclusions. The Results are staggering. The following represents a brief summary of the research and conclusions of the Study, which was recently published in the Journal of Sports Systems and Environmental Affairs.
Roger Federer has struggled in 2008 because of GLOBAL WARMING.
The leading physiscist on the team, Auxford University Theoretical Physicist Wilbert Hulbartware expressed excitement and surprise at the conclusion of the study. "This is the most groundbreaking study I have seen in 20 years. This is right up there with quantum mechanics and the opposable thumbs." Stanfort professor Angie Grahams agreed, adding that while it is exciting, "The conclusion is also a little disconcerting. What else is global warming going affect? First Roger Federer, what is next? Petting zoos? You tell me."
The scientists participating in the study on Roger Federer each concentrated on their particular fields and then meshed the research into a comprensive report that has generated Nobel Prize talk among the experts. Scientist Weekly magazine says that recognition is due considering the amount of cooperation and coordination between so many brilliant minds. Cambritch University Organic Chemist Dooley O'toole agrees. "On a day to day basis these are my competitors but we put aside our scientific grievances and worked together based on a mutual respect for Roger Federer and all that the has done for the world of winners."
The actual research used an understanding of the fact of global warming as its starting point relying heavily on the research of Al Gore.
World respected environmental biologists examined the various factors of global warming and its effects on the environment.
Using the information provided by the Environmental biologists and combining that information with quantum mechanics and other properties of physics, a team of physicists from Auxford and Yell created models showing the effects of global warming on physical properties, specifically regarding heat exchange. See the following charts:
And in conjunction with Mathematicians from M.I.TE. the scientists worked out mathematically this theorem:
The raw information from these graphic illustrations and mathematical computation was then used with a basic understanding of the properties of heat transfer, shown in this example from NASA:
The next phase of the research had Organic Chemists, Moleclular biologists, and Al Gore working towards an understanding of how these environmenal and physical factors affect the living tissues of the body and how it functions. Once scientists understood the chemical components of Roger Federer that make him awesome they were able to then look at how the physical changes in global warming chemically alter his biological makeup. The graphics that follow show the basic elements of molecular chemistry involved in the study.
It was clear that there was a link to changes at the organic level and global warming. Esteemed Johns Hapkins chemist Latimer Dorseye claims a "clear and irrefutable" link between global warming and the organic and molecular world of tennis exists. The next phase of the research involved medical experts testing how the changes at the molecular level affect muscle activity, brain functions, etc. A littany of tests were run at medical research facilities in the U.S. and in London. 
Margaret Wallis, M.D., found the results surprising. The changes caused at the molecular level by the chemical instability brougth on by global warming significantly alter a persons ability to dominate at any one thing. Wallis notes, "We are beginning to understand how the human body works in relation to the environment we find ourselves. Now we know what led to Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo, Michael Jordan's failed baseball experiement, and Tiger Woods not winning the Masters tournament this year. Global Warming. It regulates anyone's ability to dominate for too long." However, the study did conclusively find that Global Warming had no effect whatsoever on the New England Patriots historic collapse this past NFL season. That was merely a choke.
There is some good news for those of you not on the ATP tour who enjoy the equally exciting but significantly less lucrative Mario Tennis. The effects of global warming have not yet translated into a dropoff in talent at Mario Tennis. You are safe for now.
Researchers will continue to examine the results of this study for years to better understand the relationship of global warming and dominant winning. While there is a definitive link, researchers have yet to determine the extent and force of the connection. The positive news is that, according to Neurophysicist James E. Hannigan, "the effects are not thought to be permanent." That is great news for Rog Fed fans around the world. He is in no "slump." He is merely suffering one of the many negative effects of global warming that have been brought to our attention recently. This is one more reason to clean up the air and care for our environment. And don't stop buying tennis tickets from your local sports ticket broker. With a little rest and some clean air, we can soon begin to see the Roger Federer that we are all accustomed to and love. The dominant Roger Federer. Winner. 
Yeah, that may have been your only shot at seeing Led Zeppelin live, but it isn't your last chance to travel to England for some live entertainment. England is a great city for concerts, sporting events, theater, etc. as well as being a great place to relax, enjoy a vacation, and see some memorable sites.
If you can afford it (I know it is VERY expensive), get over to London and have a great time! London has something for everyone.
If you are a fan of theater, there is no better place on the planet for theater than London. London theater is first rate, and there are many bargains to be found at discount theater booths on the day of the show for those of you who make last minute decisions. If you want great seats you can always order them in advance from a ticket broker, but great seats are nearly always available. I personally reccomend The Phantom of the Opera (spectacular!), but the choices are nearly endless. Theater tickets in London are a great option.
You may want to catch some sports action when you are in London. Obviously what you can see will depend on what time of the year you are in London. You might be lucky enough to catch an NFL game now that the NFL is sending a game to London every year (The NBA will have a game there in October as well). Wimbledon is probably the most famous atheletic event in London and tickets are surprisingly easy to acquire for the first rounds. However, if you are wanting tickets for the later rounds you will probably need a ticket brocker to acquire your Wimbledon tickets.
Another wildly popular sport in London (and indeed of England and Europe) is soccer (as we call it). The English Premier League has popular teams all over England, and London has a few of the popular teams in Arsenal and Chelsea FC. The excitement at a Soccer game in London rivals the wildest atmosphere at an American Football game and the experience will be unforgetable even for those who are only marginally fans. Catching a Premier League game in London would be a great option!
The London concert schedule is loaded with world famous acts at a number of different venues. The O2 Arena is the hottest new venue in London and plays host to the largest acts to hit the city, including the Led Zeppelin show last December. It is a very modern interesting design, and the interior and acoustics are outstanding.
Some of the shows hitting the O2 this year include Celine Dion, Neil Diamond, Michael Buble, James Blunt, Nickelback, etc. If you want to see a popluar show while you are in London (perhaps that is the sole reason for your visit), the chances are that the show will be at the O2.
While the O2 is the most popular concert venue in London, it is by no means the only one. Earls Court (Rod Stewart recently), Wembly Arena (Def Leppard, Matchbox Twenty, Robert Plant and Allison Krauss, etc.) , and Royal Albert Hall (Feist, John Fogarty, etc.), all host major concert events in London. London is the scene of many smaller events with intimate exciting settings. Royal Albert Hall is a particularly fun theater, however due to the small capacity the shows do sell out frequently.
Make sure you go to a Pub or traditional English Restaurant and have a pint and get some great English food. Most of the time the food in the true pubs is less than stellar, but the experience is great. Get something traditionally English like Fish and Chips or Shepherds Pie, and finish it off with some "pudding" for dessert. The English are also known for GREAT roast beef...but don't get it at a pub. Everything comes with peas--accept it. They English are not known for their food like Italians or French, but it has a character of its own nonetheless.
London has a great public transporation system so getting around the city and making to the different sites as well as your big event shouldnt be too much of a challenge. The underground (subway) system is convenient and reliable and the bus system is also reliable. The British railway system is also a great way to see sites outside of London.
And if you get the chance, take a some trips to the areas surrounding London. Easily visited in day are the ruins of Stonehenge and the nearby town of Salisbury, Canterbury, Bath, Cambridge, etc. Stonehenge and Salisbury is a great trip, and I personally reccomend the town of Oxford which is about 30-45 minutes bus ride from London.
Oxford is a BEAUTIFUL city. Walk through the city visiting the various colleges, stroll through the beautiful parks (at their best in spring and early summer), and spend some time in beautiful and historic Radcliffe Square. Make sure you stop and have a drink at the Eagle and Child pub, the favorite stop of JRR Tolkien and C.S. Lewis and their friends when they were were professors at Oxford.
So there you have it. Want to see Celine Dion in London? What to watch The Phantom of the Opera on the original London Stage? Does watching a match in the English Premier League interest you? Have you always wanted to watch the best tennis players in the world at Wimbledon? Stop putting it off! Plan a trip, it will be well worth it and you have memories for a lifetime. And there is no need to learn a new language!! Even better! If you need help acquiring tickets to your big event, Circle City Tickets has experience in providing premium seats to events in Europe.
Make your next vacation unforgetable.
As great as these shows are I am not nearly as excited about any of them as I am about Radiohead. I honestly did not ever think they would come here. They are certainly known for their live shows but do not tour very often and usually only hit the larger markets.
The summer will also be the opening of the new home of the Indianapolis Colts, Lucas Oil Stadium. The first major event there will be Kenny Chesney with very special guests Keith Urban, Leann Rhimes and Gary Allen with rumors of others circulating. In regards to the Colts it is not too early to be thinking of of seats for next season.
These are just a few of the many great events going on in and around Indianapolis.The Indiana State Fair, Conseco Fieldhouse, Murat Theatre and White River White Lies Lawn are all offering up impressive lineups as well. So check out your friendly ticket broker www.circlecitytickets.com for all of your summer entertainment needs.
Till next time,

The roasted duck is spectacular. Truly, truly spectacular. The chicken is amazing and I hear the Turkey legs are great as well (I can't not get duck or chicken). Basically, I would go to the fair just for the Poultry tent, easily. So this year when you are buying your concert tickets from your local ticket broker, Circle City Tickets, remember that you are not only entitled to a night of music, but your ticket is a passport to the best food in the midwest. What a deal. I can't wait!!
We don't have the beautiful alpine valleys of Europe.
We don't have the brillant beaches of the Caribbean.
We don't have the history of somewhere like Rome.
We don't have the great seafood of Louisiana.
But we do have the Colts.
Indiana is great.
Nathan Rodgers cried like a BABY this afternoon when I hit him in the jaw with tennis ball that was lightly tossed in his general direction!!!

MEET THE BLOGGERS
Cammi Crossen: a 21-year-old, high-heel-wearing, wanna-be-beauty queen's charm and grace is often mistaken for weakness or even kindness. But the truth is, this bombshell blogger loves takes the lead in any competition no matter the costs, and in this case, that means composing lyrical perfection in every blog submission.
Nathan Rodgers: thinks he has the same competitive drive as his female opponent, but this 64-year-old scrooge of a man only leaves hate and bitterness behind when his readers have finished his tired, repetitive blogs. SNORE! Perhaps he should leave blogging to the younger folks, such as....
Lucky Day: a ZERO in his own right, seeing as how he is at the very bottom in the race for most subscribers and how his worthless blog submissions somehow slip through administrative cracks. I guess we're just letting him have his fun.
Kurt Rambis: the silent threat to this blogging community, however, his submissions have a bit of a brown-noser edge. Kurt rambles on about Chicago Cubs tickets, Indiana Pacers tickets, Indy 500 tickets, Kentucky Derby tickets, and every other blah blah blah event the Circle City Tickets sells. ZZzzzz.....
Finally, it's up to YOU, AMERICA, to decide who will win the most subscribers contest at the end of this month. Remember, SHE should be show-stopping beautiful in person as well as on paper. Need help?? Reference pictures.
The show's host, Mike Rowe, performs different jobs each show that are considered dirty jobs. His list of work includes (but is not at all limited to):
Goat Milk Soap Maker
Hippo Wrangler
Horse Inseminator
Frac Tank Refurbisher
Hot Tar Roofer

Poo Pot Maker
Coal Miner
Catfish Noodler
Oyster Shucker
Salmon Carcass Counter
Gum Remover
Odor Eater

Septic Tank Cleaner
Sewage Treatment Plant Operator
Sewer Inspector
Worm Poop Rancher
Tire Recycler
Now I recognize that they have covered some very interesting and very dirty jobs indeed. A worm poop rancher is not my cup of tea. However, It seems that the producers of the show have left off the dirtiest job of them all!
The Coach of the New England Patriots. Now that is a DIRTY job.
I guess the worm poop rancher and salmon carcass counter are not so bad after all.

It is a great lineup already and promises to be even better as more shows are added. This is going to be a great summer to get out and hear some music. Make sure you contact your local Indiana ticket broker Circle City Tickets for the hottest concert tickets of the summer!
We have all had songs get stuck in our heads from time to time and they just won’t leave. This week I have had a song from the show “Friends” in my head that Phoebe sang to a group of kids in a library. The lyrics go like this:
Oh, the cow in the meadow goes moo,
Oh, the cow in the meadow goes moo.
Then the farmer hits him on the head and grinds him up,
And that's how we get hamburgers.
Now, chickens!
You have to watch the show to understand why its funny, but it cracks me up every time that song pops back into my head. I love that show.
