The Fringe! Plus, the simple fact that there are so many local faves in such close proximity to each other.

I remenber, watching the toll road, being built, through South Bend, when I was 10 years old. I believe, back then that it was estimated, that the toll road, would be paid for in 20 years and then it would be free. I am now 71, what happened? Since the power is in the people, by that, I mean that, we the people are in total control of everything. I, suggest that no one ever use the toll road again, let it go broke. We the people can control the price of everything, from groceries to gas, if we would just do it. If we don't pay the asking price, the sellers will lower the price and if we wait awhile, they will lower the price to what we accept as reasonable. I would like to know why a highway like interstate 94, is so well maintained, a much better highway, than the toll road, but has no tolls. I would also like to know why, a sitting governor, with a term limit, maximum of eight years, can lease, public property, for 75 years. Even though I have transponders in both of my trucks and will not be affected by the increase, I have been and will contine to avoid using the toll road. I make many trips from northern Indiana to Chicago, every year, and I prefer the better highway, I94!

Coming from her background,she should be used to those kinds of advances! Menard probably figured it was ok to tuck a buck!

I'm still waiting for the list of available, high quality apartments in the Village.

This criminal masquerading as a lawyer obviously has serious issues. He’s been proven by his own testimony to be a pathological liar and probably has a personality disorder as he seems to be constructing a reality around himself. He places no value on truth, honesty or loyalty as evidenced by what he has done to his clients and his own family. And by the demands and lies he has made in court, it is evident he feels entitled to do and say whatever suits his purpose and everyone else is expected to nod obediently and believe him because he is, after all, Bill Super Lawyer; or BS lawyer for short. This millionaire wanna-be no longer owns anything of value; he squandered it and put everything he had into foreclosure. He has no money, house, car, boat or vacation home left to show for what he earned or what he stole. He’s just another loser without morals who will be doing time. I’m certain all of his courtroom shenanigans are antagonizing his poor victims. As Lamar said, his behavior and claims in court have been outrageous. The judge needs to be more than concerned; he needs to be judicial and end this nonsense.

My brother sent me the novel HOUSEKEEPING, by Marilynne Robinson. It looks interesting!
One of my cousins who is a multi-media artist sent me a tiny piece with a magnet on the back to put on my refridgerator. It is very fun! I like to think that the two little people hiding in the bushes are journalists but they are probably just soldiers.
A friend gave me a kit to plant paperwhites - bulbs that will bloom in 6-8 weeks and add beauty to my kitchen.
My father sent me a check that will come in handy for a number of reasons but I plan to spend part of it seeing multiple performances of Edges: A Song Cycle. This is the show that a new theatre company called Programs is presenting at Theatre on the Square January 2-4 (next weekend.)
I used to love seeing the same show more than once, but since I started my theatre blog, it is more than I can do to even begin to cover the theatre being offered in the Indianapolis area.
(By the way, Lou, I loved your recent print piece about the ten arts events you loved best this year. Thanks for covering as much as you do! You expanded my horizons more than once in 2008.)
I haven't been able to indulge myself in seeing multiple performances of one show in over a year. So...since I am the boss of my own business when it comes to my blog, I am giving the staff (me) Edges tickets as her holiday bonus.
Not opening night, though, because I am looking forward to blushing and reviewing A Night in Vegas at Theatre on the Square on January 2.
I might spring for a ticket to the Wizard of Oz sing-along at the Indianapolis Civic theatre on New Year's Day (Thursday, 7pm). That sounds like fun, too, and unfortunately I have missed most of its run. However, that will depend on how much work I have completed on my own projects by then.
If I could be two places at once, I would see This Wonderful Life at the IRT again two or three times. It runs through January 4 as well. I liked it more than you did, Lou. (But I liked reading your review even so.)
Are you including the fashion arts in your question? I would like to spend part of my father's check on new clothes, if I can find time to order some!

I also bought myself a Christmas gift, which was a plane ticket to New York City in mid January to catch some Gustav Mahler concerts, one at Carnegie Hall (collaboration of musicians from many orchestras) and one at Lincoln Center, with conductor Gustavo Dudamel and the New York Philharmonic. I can't wait!
My gifts included a two-CD retrospective of Pete Seeger (icon, legend and, I'm proud to say, a Unitarian Universalist like the late Paul Newman). Also a gift of iTunes so I can download the irresistible.
Perhaps the most fun will be a spiffy DAK turntable and mixer so I can take my vintage albums and create MP3 files or burn CDs using my laptop.
Also--for birthday but I'll mention it since it was in December--my first 12-string guitar! I've played guitar since LBJ was president but never owned a 12. I'm greatly enjoying some new techniques and improvising with this very different instrument. Leo Kottke has nothing to fear, but what a hoot for me!

Enjoy Pete.
I had the pleasure of interviewing Seeger at length for a story a few years back. It was an as-told-to piece so I had to translate the interview into an essay by him and go back and forth with him on the editing. Alas, the magazine went out of business before it could be published. A charming, introspective, interesting man and a very important part of American music history.
Have fun with teh 12-string.
Lou
We caught Wicked (our second viewing) and enjoyed it every bit as much the second time around.
We were thrilled to get tickets to experience William Peterson in Dublin Carol. A dark but beautiful production. Mr Peterson was smooth as silk.
And we wrapped up the weekend seeing a delightful French farce, Don't Dress for Dinner.
And to cap off our weekend of the arts we walked our little feet off and shopped our way through the One of A Kind art show at the Merchandise Mart. If you've not been before (this was our second year), I highly encourage you to put it on your schedule for next year. A plethora of artists in all media and an abundance of gifting in all price ranges.
