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. Many serial killer types and psychopaths work as lowly bureaucrats, just waiting to impose their wrath on a powerless person, child, or pet. Don't forget, the BTK killer was a dog catcher.

  2. If a television station wants to improve viewership, get rid of the local blackout. I was born by the brickyard, and have attended 15 or more races. I have children now, I won't attend unless circumstances are perfect. As those with growing families know, they never are. I'm always impressed that upwards of 250,000 people attend the 500. However, as a growing, or, more apt, sprawling city, Indianapolis and its immediate suburbs count almost 2.2 million. Show the race live, let the venue get a kick-back on revenues, and open-wheel racing might have a fighting chance to be relevant again. Just in time for those tax-payer lights to make sense.

  3. John Moore, I too have had the same issue recently. A property next to my house was on the Land Bank and I was interested in purchasing. When I tried to contact Reggie, I got back emails that had nothing to do with what I asked about. Actually my latest response from him was on this past Friday. I had asked about how to buy the property and if it was still available. His response to me was to contact the mayor's office to get the schedule of his appearances. (???) Hopefully the city is able to do something to fix what this guy has done, it would be nice if they would take the properties back and sell them properly so land owners like me and you mother would have a fair chance.

  4. I too work in the industry, with over 25 years of experience and your political spin has probably nothing to do with any rebranding. "Let's dress it up" would have nothing to do with the government "telling us how and what to eat." Give it a political rest. And being a producer for a radio show doesn't mean you've been involved in advertising and branding for 30 years.

  5. Ms. Morris did not understand the ways of the business world, otherwise, like the IMS, she could have petitioned the State Legislature for a handout of State Funds for her charity work. Ms. Morris should consider becoming a state lobbyist for Lemonade Stand Operators.
