August 14, 2009
Comments(13)So were you among those at the "District 9" or "Serenity" screenings last night?
I'll admit, I had every intention of making it a double feature. But after the enthusiastic, GenCon-er packed
revisit to the terrific "Serenity," I decided to opt out...

Comments(3)The Broad Ripple Art Fair couldn't ask for a nicer Sunday. But that annual event is far from the only

Comments(18)For me, it was a weekend primarily focused on dance--but since that dance was the recital for Village Dance
Studio, where my daughter is a ten-year vet, don't expect a review from me.
But I will say that the army of...

Laura-the festivals and tastings are free. What does is strengthen the sense of community with activities. What are those empty lots doing for the Village? it's sad you can't see the good that this progress can do for the area. No one is requiring anyone to shop there. I guess you'd rather see a Dollar store move in or no, we'd rather see the property stand empty b/c change is out of the question.
Read down to the part about Brizzi. Someone needs to subpoena his "purchases" of Red RockPictures and Cellstar and his corresponding bank records, I mean c'mon, I'd like to see his alcohol usage records, too. http://diana-vice.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Wonder if my neighborhood can advertise our "retention" pond and act like it is a beach too?
a new record at the '11 salebration until they realized that it was a futile effort to get their crapwagon moter and crapwagon car up speed. And then they just quietly slunk off into the night and never spoke of it again. Nothing to see here folks.
