You-review-it Monday

You had lots of choices this weekend, with "The Lyons" opening at the Phoenix Theatre, First Friday gallery stops througout downtown, Oscar-winning movies to catch up on at a theater near you, "Sister Act" raising the roof at the Murat (see my review here), and lots more. Or maybe you stayed home and read a book-which would be fine, too.

So what did you experience on the A&E front over the past few days? 

Your thoughts?

Oh, and if you act now, there's still a chance to win tickets to Dance Kaleidoscope's "Piaf Plus" here.

    Hillbilly Happy Hour at the Melody Inn, with Indy's own Gamblin' Christmas and Columbus, Ohio-based Mike's Wilson. You can't call either of those acts strictly country, but some element of "hillbilly" definitely applies. At 5 bucks, HHH is consistently one of the best bargains in Indy. Then Saturday, ukuleles at Indy Hostel with the kids! Flea Bitten Dawgs and Uncle Elvis. You'd be amazed at the depth of ukulele music that the Dawgs can do. Love the Hostel as a family friendly venue.

    We indulged in all manner of entertainment this weekend. Friday night we attended the Ice Miller WFYI Wine Tasting event. Saturday, we donned our masks for a night of dinner and dancing to Lemon Wheel the 9th Annual Gaia Works Masquerade Ball to benefit Coburn Place. This year the Wyndham outdid themselves on the buffet. The food was delicious and the meat was melt in your mouth tender. Already have my calendar marked for the 10th anniversary ball March 1, 2014. I hear it will be a roaring 20s theme. Finally, we wrapped up the weekend with Natalie MacMaster at the Palladium. If you enjoy bluegrass or Celtic music, MacMaster is NOT to be missed. This was the second of her concerts we were lucky enough to attend. And if you like Celtic fiddle, be sure to catch local Celtic fiddler Emily Anne Thompson around town.

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

  2. Yes. Blame those who were too lazy to go vote Obama out and those who voted him in again. That's my take on it. I know folks won't get it on the left. OK. Start berating me now!

  3. Serioulsy, people are AGINST this project? Most communities would be salivating over a project like this. You'd rather have an empty eye-sore gas station and shacks posing as apartments? This project is exactly what BR needs. BUILD IT MR MAYOR. And yes, I am a BR resident, and have been for 20 years.

  4. As a St. Vincent employee of over 20 years, I am saddened and disheartened by this announcement. Unfortunately, as the healthcare "industry" continues on this political and corporate path, all that St. Vincent Hospital has stood for spiritually for its employees and this community is being sucked dry. I know it truly has no choice. It is not just Obamacare or just competition or just any single thing. This trend started long before I was even born when the government became involved in healthcare and it became an "industry." I grieve for those who will lose their jobs, one of whom may be me, but I also grieve for this hospital which I have served for over 20 years. May God give us and it the grace to withstand the future of healthcare.

  5. Why do people constantly harp on this issue and act ignorant about what a city population measures? A city's population is the city's population. There is no argument or debate about it. If you want to measure the density of a city--measure it. If you want to measure the size of a metropolitan area, then measure the metropolitan population. City boundaries cover different sized areas--and they always have (though the disparity has probably increased since about 1900 or so when more cities began annexing their surrounding communities). For example, San Francisco only covers 49 square miles while Houston cover nearly 600 square miles. No one argues about the population rankings of either city even though they clearly cover extremely different sized areas. Indianapolis is the 13 largest city by population in the U.S. That is a fact. While the population of a metropolitan area may give you a better sense of how large a community is, as noted, even metro areas can vary widely in the size of geographic area they cover--so that is not a perfect comparison either.
