Take a break from all that hard-core holiday shopping at Hullabaloo with some terrific food from Black Eyed Suzie’s and Grounded!

Cheryl of Black Eyed Suzie’s is from the Woodstock area, but travels all over the Hudson Valley with her catering company and traveling food stand.  She manages the Rhinebeck Farmers’ Market and has owned and operated award-winning restaurants in NYC before coming upstate to enjoy the simpler life in the Hudson Valley. Black Eyed Suzie’s focuses on local, seasonal ingredients and the most consistent thing about their ever-changing menu is that everything is always scrumptious! Come see what Cheryl is cooking up at Hullabaloo—she’ll be with us all day on Saturday!

Linda of Grounded on Broadway in Kingston bases her menus on the freshest, most-sustainable local organic and bio-dynamic ingredients. She caters everything from small meetings to huge corporate events and weddings, and has been featured on numerous wedding and event blogs. Her food is incredible and her desserts and pastries are heavenly, so leave room! Can’t decide? Linda will be with us all weekend so you’ve got more than one opportunity to indulge!

Whether shopping has worked up your appetite for lunch or you’re having a 3:00 snack attack, we’ve got you covered.  Handmade gifts from local artists AND fresh, local, organic food?  Skip the mall—Hullabaloo beats the box stores and a franchise taco any day, doesn’t it?  

Sponsor Shout-Out: The Heavy Light Show & Hullabaloo – A Match Made in Heavy Light Heaven

It was a productive Saturday, and I was making some serious headway on Hullabaloo writing projects when the phone rang, startling me out of my zone.

A mysteriously familiar voice: “Hey, this is Ida. I just got your press release about Hullabaloo. I have a radio show called The Heavy Light Show, and this is right up my alley.”

Me: “OHMYGOD, YOU’RE THAT IDA!?!? I LOVE YOUR SHOW!”

So much for professional. 

I’d sent Ida that press release, secretly hoping she’d like the sounds of Hullabaloo and maybe, just maybe, mention it on the show…because the show is seriously awesome and so is Ida, and, by extension, her listeners. So when she said she was super-psyched about Hullabaloo, I pretty much freaked out and went just a little fangirl. Because when Ida gets psyched about something (a song, a band, a store, a restaurant, a sponsor, whatever) she gets seriously psyched. It’s one of the reasons she’s so fun to listen to—her easy, authentic enthusiasm is contagious.

Long story short, The Heavy Light Show is a sponsor of Hullabaloo!

Ida Hakkila hosts (ummm, hostesses?) the Heavy Light Show every Saturday night from 9 p.m. – 11 p.m. on WDST (Radio Woodstock, 100.1). The show, described as “a two-hour non-stop happy fun ride,” is the perfect mix of indie rock, old-school hip hop, punk, soul, classic rock, 80s…Ida’s playlist can jump from James Brown to Future Punks to Devo to Del La Soul to Foxygen and somehow make it seem seamless. And it’s all stuff you don’t hear every day but wish you did. She literally plays what she wants to hear (or what you do, she takes requests!), and she’s got great taste. In previous lives she DJ’d at WNYC 23-3 K-Rock and Q104.3 in New York City, and she has written jokes and been a musical consultant for The Late Show with David Letterman.

Did you miss Saturday’s show? You can listen on-demand, you know. (Pressed for time? First Hullabaloo mention around 50:40.)

So cancel your plans every Saturday night between now and Hullabaloo and tune in—you’ll hear some awesome music AND some Hullabaloo shout-outs too!

And here’s the really cool part (yup, cooler than Hullabaloo on the radio): Ida starts telling me how she just got her logo redesigned, and do I know Will Lytle, who did the illustration? Yup, I said, he’s doing $1 portraits and selling illustrations at Hullabaloo. Coincidence or fate?  Hullabaloo and The Heavy Light Show: It’s a match made in heavy light heaven.

Thanks a bunch for your support, Ida!  We’re psyched that you’re psyched. This is gonna be great!
