C’mon Baby, Light My Fire

What do you do when you’ve got a super talented team, but no name, branding or website? You do what the legal and financial experts at the now-named Torchlight Resolutions do — put Kicks on the case.

Case Study

Oddball Gobbles

Thanksgiving is a time of tradition, but what if we, like, didn’t? Here’s how the Kicks crew remixes the standard T-Gives tradish.

Matt — My family is very traditional for Thanksgiving. My dad is an excellent cook so every part of the meal is super tasty. We save the meal experimenting for other holidays.

Josh — I go full-ass into the holiday cooking. I will be the one moving with the grace and precision of a peregrine falcon. The kicker? I do all holiday meals with caloric density in mind so that we can enjoy more than seven minutes at the table. 

Chris — Thanksgiving food can be super bland, so my family usually tosses some Indian-inspired dishes in the mix to kick the spice factor up a notch. Pass the pav bhaji, please.

Summer — Pretty traditional over here! Plenty of turkey (sometimes smoked!), a kiddie-pool filled with mashed potatoes, and 1 singular can of cranberry sauce to stretch across 15 people.

Kickin’ It Around Indy

Fear is the mind killer, Nov 3 — Nerds rise up, it’s opening day for Dune: Chapter Two! If you’ve somehow managed to avoid spoilers for a 58-year-old book, you’re in for a wild ride.

Election Day, Nov 7 — Go vote, ya schmucks.

WinterFaire, opens Nov 18 — Move over Jolly Days, the Children’s Museum is starting a new tradition. Catch the Kicks crew spelunking in WinterFaire’s indoor ice cave.

Don’t talk to me until I’ve had my international coffee, Nov 18 — You can do better than the cup of mud from your office’s Keurig. Expand your palate at the 4th annual International Coffee & Tea Fest.
