Lake Drive Tap, formerly Hackamore Brewing Company, hosts a fast-paced team jigsaw challenge presented with Sarah Does Puzzles LLC. Form a group of up to four and race to finish a 500 piece puzzle. Top finishers earn prizes, door prizes add to the fun, and every team keeps the puzzle used in competition. Each group receives the same sealed puzzle that no one sees until a countdown begins. A judge tracks progress and records finishing times. After completing the puzzle, teams may head out or stick around to work on another one and enjoy a drink. An optional warm-up session with practice puzzles is available before the main event. Competitors may eat and drink while puzzling and can use box top holders and sorting trays. Extra lighting is welcome if it is not plugged into an outlet and does not affect other teams. Good sportsmanship is required and interfering with other groups is not allowed. Seating includes a mix of high-tops, standard tables, picnic tables, and booths with a small step up. The entry fee is $40 per team. There are no refunds, but puzzle pick-up can be arranged if attendance is not possible. For questions, contact Sarah at sarah@sarahdoespuzzles.com.

The Secrecy, emerging from Indianapolis’ underground, crafts a modern, cinematic take on goth‑inflected post-punk, uniting brooding atmosphere with propulsive beats and sweeping hooks.

Autumn, formed by bassist Jeff Leyda and guitarist Neil McKay with vocalist Julie Plante, brings soaring vocals and richly layered guitars shaped across albums including The Hating Tree, Return to the Breath, and Chandelier, created in long-time collaboration with producer William Faith. Recent highlights include US mini-tours with Clan of Xymox and The Bellwether Syndicate, a performance at Wave Gotik Treffen in Leipzig, and ongoing work on the fourth album, Songs About Dying, featuring the singles Catacombs and Venice. Velour Tomb, a queer band founded in 2024 in the Twin Cities, channels the spirit of 80s Deathrock with punk-driven rhythms and lyrics that blend introspection, horror, and queer experience.
