It's a busy--and extremely fun--week for Indianapolis residents. The Angie's List family is as excited as anyone to have so many great football fans in town, and we couldn't help but get in on the action.

If you're looking for (or know someone who's looking for) parking, swing by the Angie's List campus on East Washington. It's a brisk walk to The Circle (we walk there for lunch all the time in nice weather) and Lucas Oil Stadium, and right next to a city bus stop. The $20 payment for a day of parking goes to our Handy Helpers organization, which helps at-risk children in our neighborhood at IPS 14 and other nearby community organizations. Everybody wins! We'll have security monitoring the lot through the weekend, too, just in case.

And, because we can never resist the chance for a little tongue-in-cheek humor...

I hope everyone has their gametime snacks planned out and is ready to enjoy the festivities!

After a weekend of fighting parking lot traffic, waiting in long checkout lines and still not finding gifts for everyone on the list, shopping online looks better than ever! If you have a friend or loved one who could use a few pairs of helping hands in the coming year, sign in to Angie's List today to wrap up an Angie's List gift membership and give a full year of ratings, reviews, exclusive discounts, the Angie's List Magazine and live support from the Angie's List staff.

And for less than the price of a sweater ($7.50 to $20, depending on location), you can't beat the value.

I’ve been advocating the past two years that the efforts from health care providers to keep patients from talking about their medical treatment are wrong and should be stopped. So I was thrilled to see news coverage today indicating that a provider of medical gag orders says he is no longer selling them and is telling his members not to use the agreements in the future.
 
This action follows the filing of a complaint to the Federal Trade Commission and litigation filed recently against a dentist who reportedly tried to enforce a Mutual Privacy Agreement. We’ve been posting notifications on the profiles of doctors rated on Angie’s List who we have found are using these agreements. We’ll keep an eye on this to be sure they stop.
 
This is great news for consumers. No one should have to trade their free speech for medical care.

We're trying something new: A Facebook contest to find a not-so-peaceful bedroom in need of a little rejuvenation!

Members are always sending in gorgeous photos of their kitchen and bathroom remodels, their freshly-painted living and dining rooms and inspirational changes and tweaks to nearly every room in their homes, but we noticed the bedroom was under-represented. We're sure we couldn't be the only people with terrible lighting fixtures, outdated bedding, mismatched furniture, bad carpet or 80's wallpaper in their bedrooms, so we'd like to hear about --and see-- your room woes. One lucky winner will get $5,000 to improve their bedroom. To enter, visit our Facebook page, or click the picture below.
