Number nine is in the books - and boy was it ever different than we could have imagined. We can't begin to express enough thanks to everyone who helped make the night possible. Never did we expect a snowstorm (OK, so maybe it was a blizzard) so far away to send us scrambling to fill the stage - literally at the last hour. Mac, Johnandrew, Deb, and Ron - THANK YOU for stepping up on such short notice and providing such a wonderful sound to fill our evening.
Ken - once again, your heart and soul on stage and off makes each of us proud to call you a friend. Two years on our stage, and two original songs...you and Suzanne are with us always.
David - thank you again for filling our stage and Doyle Hall with your wonderous voice. We are so thankful for all you've contributed tonight, and in the past.
The fabulous Gordon Pipers - Fantastic, as always. We truly appreciate your continued involvement and support of LeoPalooza...too many names to mention...not enough thanks to go around.
Roger, John, Kathy, Eric, and Mark - We missed seeing you this time around - hopefully your arms and backs won't be TOO sore from shoveling snow, and you'll be back in Indy soon with your friends and biggest fans. Rest assured we hoisted a pint with all of you in our hearts tonight.
And each of you who were a part of this grand evening -- whether through the giving of your time to help with the preparations and execution of the event, or just by joining us in another wonderful night of fun, friendship and celebration - we could not do this without you. Your continued support of our efforts to give back to the community, both here and abroad mean more than you can ever know. You all have our humblest and most sincere thanks.
Thanks for another successful LeoPalooza. We're already looking forward to our 10th get together one year from now.
Cheers!
Leo, Pete, Bryan, Spencer & Kelly

Happy Leap Day! Such a rare event, and what a gret way to start the weekend! Join us at the Brockway Public House Friday evening for a rip-roarin' good time. The Guinness Girls, and Roger Drawdy & The Firestarters will be on hand to give you a sample of the fun that is LeoPalooza. Of course, we will be there as well with LeoPalooza tickets, and maybe even a few T-Shirts - get them while they last!

We owe so much of our success to the generosity of the local companies who support this event each year. We are happy call these folks our friends, and hope you will visit and support these locally owned businesses around our community.

As many of you have purchased our souvenir wrist bands the last couple of years, we are frequently asked to help with the pronunciation of the translation. Frankly, my Klingon is better than my Gaelic - so, I thought you would all be better served by deferring to our friend Roger Drawdy - Here ya go! Dia Ag Beannu' Na E'irennach - God Bless The Irish People.

Plans are coming together as we keep marking off days on the calendar... Take a look at some photos from the last couple of years on the Photos link, and make sure you're ready to join us for the fun on Saturday March 8th.
We know it's hard to wait, so we've teamed up with our friends at The Brockway Public House to give you a little LeoPalooza preview. Come out to The Brockway on Friday, February 29th and catch the Roger Drawdy & The Firestarters as they return to Indianapolis for the first time since November. We'll see you there!
Happy New Year!
Now that the holidays are over, and 2008 has arrived, it is time to start looking forward to the next big event - LEOPALOOZA! Yes, we are back once again this year for our annual pre-St. Patrick's Day party to raise money for some very worthwhile causes. Since our inception in 2005, LeoPalooza has raised nearly $15,000 for some very worthy causes. Through your participation in our event, we have been able to provide scholorships to some deserving kids, establish a fund dedicated to continuing the education of teachers, and create a commemoritive garden at the high school of popular 15 year old boy who was senselessly killed merely because of his religion.
Watch this spot for updates, and marke your calendar for Saturday, March 8!
