Would anyone be interested in a house music event in Northwest Indiana?

14 Upvotes

I've been getting really into house music and the local EDM scene, and I've been thinking about putting together a small house music event somewhere around Valparaiso or Northwest Indiana.

I'm talking tech house, groovy house, UK house, and that kind of vibe you'd find at a smaller underground dance event.

I know a lot of people go to Chicago for this kind of music, so I'm curious if there's actually an audience for it around here.

Would you guys be interested in something like this? What kind of music would you want to hear, and where would you want an event like this to be held?

Just trying to gauge interest and see if it's worth putting something together.

30F homebody looking for friends

2 Upvotes

I'm realizing I need more of a social life and I want to start looking for friends in the Valpo area or maybe groups that meet up every month. I'm into books, games, and pop culture. I'm looking to either join an organized group/club or just meet individual people that I can go with to cafes and craft fairs and stuff. If anyone else here works from home and/or is on a fitness journey that would be cool too because same

Hi, im 30F new to the area and all my friends live 12+ hours away. I’ve really been struggling making friends. Does anyone have any tips for where late 20s early 30s crowd hangs out? Im not particularly outdoorsy so going on hikes and stuff wouldn’t work for me.

What's going in by the YMCA?

7 Upvotes

I saw all the trees and wooded area along Bullseye Lake Rd. by the Oak Grove intersection, all torn down. Goddamn shame. Anyone know what they're building there now?

My guess was more unaffordable housing, or maybe an extension of something from the Y.

The library is SEVERELY underfunded for this area

65 Upvotes

It's an actual joke. This is a relatively wealthy town.

I do work with the Skokie library and that library makes me cry. It's a total community hub. It's a family destination, it's a teen destination, it's beautiful.

Why, with all the money that we have within our community are we unable to provide the same thing?

Just venting.

OneStepBehind - Metal band from Valparaiso

5 Upvotes

Does anyone remember a band called One Step Behind from Valparaiso? They played the 'nu metal style' during the early 2000s and put out a couple EPs. They are really good and I've talked to multiple band members, did anyone have a copy of one of their CDs? The band members are out and I'm searching for one. Their last CD 'Seasons' especially, I'm trying to archive their material. Thank you, anything helps.

Valparaiso DJ scene?

2 Upvotes

Curious if there are any DJs who play at bars around the Valpo area. I’m 26 and have been getting into music production as a hobby for the past 9 months and I got a DJ controller a couple months ago. Still new and learning, but I’m curious what the DJ scene looks like around here and would love to connect with some people.
I’d like to collaborate with someone and play my first live show, just still trying to get everything glued together 😂 Anywho, just curious what’s out there!

Young dad looking for friends

17 Upvotes

My wife and I moved to Valpo a year ago and we have young kids (2 and 4). We are active and enjoy going out when we have a sitter but we both are looking for young parents who want to be friends.

About me:
Mid-30s, active, I work out at the YMCA and enjoy running, pickleball, beer, playing pool, and more. Any other dads out there that would like to connect?

Feels weird looking for friends at this age but hey, there’s probably others who are in the same boat so what the heck.
