You-review-it Monday

For me, the weekend included hosting the Indy Men's Magazine Reunion Celebration benefiting Indy Reads. As the editor of that mag during its five-year run, I can't be objective about the pleasures of hearing such a talented batch of writers sharing their words. I can, however, say that Mass Ave.'s Indy Reads Bookstore is a terrific venue for readings and I look forward to attending--and hosting--many more events there.

I also visited Garfield Park for a Spirit & Place event, the Indianapolis Art Center to check out the latest addition to its sculpture garden, and the Service Center for a play by NoExit Performance. 

No, I haven't seen the new James Bond film yet. But I'm looking forward to it.

What about you? What did you hear, see or do this weekend?

    With all the hype we were looking forward to the new bond movie but are sadly disappointed, it is an ok action flick, but it's not Bond. Daniel Craig plays another serious spy role without the trademark cheeky humor. The new Q is a horribly boring pick, there are dozens of actors who would have made that role more fun. And yes I MISS the exploding pens. Tragically the original Bond car is destroyed before reaching its full prop potential. Judi Dench"s M plays out her role well, read about her macular degeneration elsewhere. Fiennes is good, Javier Bardiem is excellent. Bring back Pierce Brosnan please.

  1. these guys only skill was to steal from other's hard earned savings.

  2. I voted for him last time and it WAS the LAST time. He needed to to quit running around the world on useless trips, and giving our $$ away to sports teams. I'll vote for anyone but Ballard next time. BTW...we gave $40M to the Pacers and cannot even watch the games on TV.

  3. For the people concerned about traffic, you should know that mixed-use projects (like the one being proposed), actually allows for and encourages more people to walk and bike, thereby mitigating additional automobile traffic. If we continue to design and build suburban-type projects in the City (i.e. automobile-oriented projects), we are not offering anything different from what the suburbs offer, which means we will continue to lose jobs/people to the suburbs. The reason Broad Ripple is somewhat successful today is that people want to live in a place that offers the convenience of being able to walk/bike to restaurants, retail, nightlife, the Monon, etc. Why would you not want to support a project that is complimentary to what already makes the area desirable? The real argument with this project should be its lack-luster design and layout, not the density.

  4. It is unfortunate that there is a perception that celebrities validate an event. The Indy 500 stands on its own, especially for those coming in from out of town. It was always so disturbing to read the gushing descriptions of Ashley Judd threaded throughout the local coverage. Very happy that era is at an end.

  5. Good ole' Obamacare. Thanks liberals and those who didn't bother to vote.
