ALL FOR COIMBATORE and all that jazz :
So far KickStart has only had these two crazy social-entrepreneuring boys who created it, writing and reviewing about Kaalan Carnage and Kulfi shops and what not....and quite a decent start at that *clap clap*
Time for change fellas... Calling all akkas, thangaachis (mind eeet fallows~), mommies, maamis, aunties, phigurus, chicas and all the gloriously feminine pieces of your souls. (deep.. illa?)
Come read, Come contribute, Come review, Come gossip even, Come correct us, Come talk, share and spread that famous Coimbatore kusumbu we is teh known for. Come KickStart this city up !!
Review your favorite shops, hang out joints, any thing under the sun, tell these poor boys where all the nice girls are…or pshaaaww* don’t tell them :D, tell the girls where we can get away from them and have much more fun girls’days out. Tell everyone what to do (whaata fun illa :P), where to go, where to be and what’s fun and in and do keep coming to read and find out and know it all… Coz’ hey… girls always know best ;)

THE NEWS AROUND TOWN :
Any of us who read those tiny little 5 line paragraphs regularly at the bottom of Metroplus and/or Expresso, will know that Atmos and Vibe, the lifestyle store… sorry, ATMOS is moving out of Race Course!! *vibe can move wherever it wants!*
Quite the cliché hang-out joint that it is, it's also home to so many memories for so many people who had nowhere else to go for a date, for a snack, for a panchayat, for a place to chill those boring afternoons away, and other velaillathagiri, randomnesses and crazy good times in dahlin' Coimbatore.
I can’t quite imagine that quaint little open air, bohemian bungalow thing that held such prominence in the surroundings of Race Course, moving into the Oxford Bookstore on Trichy Road. HOW. WHAt. WHyyYY… ? So what happens to –nobody-really-comes-here-even-though-its-nice Cha(i) bar ?
Sighing the nostalgia away, there's a new store for bizarre clothing (Yes, you read that right) being opened today (19th Nov). South Hood Ventures owned by Venkatkumar Vijayakumar and Co., call their new brand, DOPE (You read it right again). The promos, teasers, posters pique one’s interest, their marketing strategy is different and innovative..well I guess they aren’t tagging it as the “shades of the new rebel” for nothing. Actors Surya and his brother Karthi love Dope. (I couldn’t resist inviting a defamation suit right there). Surya even contributed some designs. They’re both coming to open the store this evening at 1, Club Road (behind Nilgiris). Definitely sounds worth checking out.. We’ll visit the place soon and tell you all about it unless one of you decides to do us the deed. Here's their facebook page if you want to check it out.
Going back to the news about Atmos, whether you like it moving out or not or even if you simply don’t care, they’re having a farewell bash on November 21st, at 6:30 pm, called ‘This is it’ *eyaaoow* With a buffet for Rs.75 and a band (yes! A band) called Slash Evolution playing Blues and Rock. You should go.
