As you can see from the previous three posts, I spent most of the weekend on and around Mass Ave soaking
up IndyFringe. It was great to see such strong crowds out. The festival continues through Aug. 31 and while...

I spend more time than I expected to this weekend soaking up Gen Con--including a performance of "Video

This weekend, family commitments kept me out of the arts loop--although I did find time to take some sports-crazy
out-of-towners through the National Art Museum of Sport and my in-laws to the "To Live Forever" show at
the Indianapolis Museum...

You have to love an Indianapolis weekend when it's impossible to get to everything you want to see.
While I caught Allalike Productions' "bare," Theatre on the Square's remarkable "A Very Merry Unauthorized
Children's Scientology Pageant," ShadowApe's "Transformations" and ACT's young...

Booker's downtown artwork?...

the Indianapolis Museum of Art? Or catch the young adult production of "Once on this Island" at Footlite?
Whatever your...

Welcome to Monday.
I hope your weekend was a satisfying one. Mine included trips to Buck Creek Players to see the musical

I wish I had more to report from the weekend, but I was under the weather and didn't get to take advantage
of Indy's offerings.
If nothing else, I had hoped to get out to The Jazz Kitchen for Sunday night's...

It was a low-key weekend for me, with my only arts stop being a visit to Fountain Square for Primary Colours' Allotropy
event--which I may get to in a later blog.
Okay, I also watched "Lucky You," the terrible Drew Barrymore/Eric Bana poker romance...

So I've been away from town for a few days and had to skip the weekend arts and entertainment activity
in Indy.

For me, it was a whirlwind of a weekend, especially if you start with Thursday (OK, so I’m still a college
student at heart).
I started with a road trip to Louisville to catch the national tour of “Avenue Q,” found...

For me, the weekend included the second half of the James Still double bill at Indiana Repertory Theatre
and a run to Purdue University for an exhilerating student production of "Hair" (a midnight show, no less).
And you?
Did you catch the...

For me, the weekend included lots of reading for upcoming book reviews, a visit with Dance Kaleidoscope (review
to appear in next week’s IBJ) and screenings of the classic “Mildred Pierce” and the less-than-classic “Horton
Hears a Who.”

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.
millions for putting a company's bumper sticker on one of its Lolas. But you gotta take what you can get.
