A few days ago, my cousin Kaitlyn came to visit. We had a lot of fun! We showed her around Indy and experienced a music fest in Broad Ripple. She got to hang out with a few guests as well, which gave her the full hostel experience.
We have a Fall Festival coming up this Sunday. I have volunteered to make 200 cupcakes for a "cupcake walk" (a cake walk but with cupcakes.) We will have live music, a food truck, a costume contest, and pumpkin carving. I will post some pictures of it on here. We have invited the entire neighborhood plus some, so we are excited to see who shows up!
As for a general hostel update, we got to know a recent guest from New Zealand who actually toured downtown with Kevin, Kaitlyn and I. He enjoyed the Cajun cuisine at our local Cajun restaurant, and I tried to get him to take a box of Zatarans red beans and rice with him when he left, but he kindly declined my offer. He is currently headed to Finnland to visit family.
We have had a girl staying here in a tent in the backyard who is a sculptor. She is creating a piece a few miles up the road in Broad Ripple. It is a sculpture that involves community involvement. Kevin actually took a short video of her and posted it on the hostel website. It's very inspirational. If you want to check it out, go here:
