Our Big New Website
Howdy. So ... things are looking different around here at VolumeOne.org. Just go ahead – stand back and take in all the webbie goodness. It may take a while, so hold your calls, grab some coffee, grab some friends, prepare a light (nutritional) snack (almonds?), and just dig in. If you’re not such a free sprit, and you’re unable to romp around the site pell-mell, allow us to point you in a few directions …
- Blogs and Podcasts - These are from mostly non-V1 people we’ve partnered with to create special web-only content (and there’s more on the way).
- V1 Dashboard – Check out the super-easy sign-up for a V1 Dashboard account which lets you (and only you) track your own comments, event reminders, restaurant reviews, photo/video uploads and more.
- Dining Guide – Now our Eat Scene dining guide is online! You can search for restaurants, leave reviews and star ratings, peruse menus, and more.
- Submit Event – If you host or promote events, checkout the turbo-charged event form.
- Videos - We’ve already got a ton of Chippewa Valley videos up.
- Community Pool blog – As if comments, restaurant reviews, and event reviews weren’t enough, now you can add your own blog posts about pretty much anything.
And that's just for starters. We’re still working out some last minute kinks, and we’ll be adding more content and features everyday, so keep poking around. We designed every part of this site with you guys in mind.

Hollywood Style
Driven inside by a cold Minneapolis winter, Tyler Franz, aka Breakneck the Mage, did what he could to keep warm. Namely, he watched a lot of dramedies featuring the radiating warmth of SoCal culture. And, as the casts of Entourage, Californication, and Curb Your Enthusiasm whitened his TV tan, Breakneck traveled to Hollywood – if only in his lyrics.

In Defence, live at Taco Johns
Eau Claire, 10/26/07: "Call More Dudes" by IN DEFENCE live @ Taco John's on Water Street. When Friday night's show at Nate's Dungeon was shut down by the cops, we somehow ended up loading the gear into Taco John's. Thanks to the help of Taco Sean, history was made. "Theres a whole lotta hardcore goin on, goin on at Taco John's!"
