Storytelling update + A&E on the air

--I'll be hosting two hours of call-in radio on WIBC Saturday evening from 8-10 p.m. There's no set subject matter, but I'm interested in sparking some conversation about when imagination crosses the line, opening the door to discussion about everything from "Where the Wild Things Are" and Balloon Boy to "Shipwrecked!" and movie biographies that stretch the truth. Hope you can join in the discussion.

-- In my weekly e-mail blast, I offered the wrong link to Storytelling Arts' presentation this weekend. Here's a repeat of the item with the correct connection:

Patrick Ball

Oct 25

Basile Theater at the Indiana History Center

Most storytelling events are just a person telling a story (not that that's a bad thing at all). But Patrick Ball, a Storytelling Arts favorite, is bringing his band, Medieval Beasts, along with him for this performance built on the legend of Tristan and Iseult. For details, click here.

Your thoughts?

  • Patrick Ball is WONDERFUL

    I am very much looking forward to the Patrick Ball storytelling event Sunday afternoon. I have heard him tell several times before and he is WONDERFUL. I don't know anything about the medieval music duo that will accompany him this time, but I trust the artistic judgment of Storytelling Arts of Indiana's executive director, Ellen Munds, so I'm looking forward to hearing them, too.

    Lou, this week, at TWO separate theatre events I gave my blog card to people and their reaction when they read it was, "Hope Baugh! I know that name! You're the one that writes on Lou Harry's blog so much! I love reading your comments!"

    I didn't know whether to feel complimented or dismayed, so I just laughed. And vowed privately to keep my head down a bit more on your blog.

    But tonight you're going to be on the radio, taking calls?! How fun!

    And by coincidence I will be at home tonight for the first Saturday evening in decades, it feels like. I am here on my computer at the crack of dawn on a Saturday morning because I have to work at my day job from 9-5 today. There are at least a half dozen shows I would like to see tonight but a) I am TIRED and b) I am now three reviews behind in my own blogging and c) there are stacks of clothes, dishes, books, bills, etc. around my home that need to be dealt with, so tonight I am taking the night off from seeing shows.

    What a delightful coincidence that you will on the radio tonight to keep me company. I just may become one of your callers, Lou. Mwa-ha-ha-a-a-h....

    (But whether I do or not, break a leg tonight - or whatever talk radio people say to each other!)

  1. Great article Anthony. Glad IMS is finally being run like a business and not a personal check book to finance the "Vision".

    Things are looking up but 15 years of scorched earth won't be fixed overnight. Unfortunately the TV ratings are still poor and that won't change anytime soon with the brilliant 10 year contract signed under the former regime.

  2. Brett not sure why you wonder what he said in his quote. "''I would like to jump in a time machine, go back to 1995, and tell the owners and Tony George not to split,'' Franchitti said. ''As soon as my time machine is done, I know where I'm going.''"

    Pretty clear, he would love to go back and tell TG and the team owners not to split.

    I am not sure there is anyone who wanted the split, and I don't think there is anyone who would not like to go back and prevent the split. But, as has been discussed ad nauseum, without the split carts management by team owners would have run all of ow racing into bankruptcy. If cart had such a wonderful product, then losing IMS would not have forced it into bankruptcy. If NASCAR lost Daytona or Charlotte, it would not fail like cart did.

    Truth,

    So you predicted that cart would go into bankruptcy and cease to exist while Indycar would continue on? I missed that prediction.

  3. I want to live in a city that has a garage structure to be proud of for it's innovating design!

  4. Well written Anthony. I think the toughest thing for the Hulmans and true of any family company is that reality was getting more complex than could be handled by the family. Almost any family owned business must realize that or die. Tough decisions, but ones that had to be made.

    I don't like the wall signage, but in this era of sports marketing it is almost required. Many folks cringed at advertising at Assembly Hall and Hinkle fieldhouse, but times and finances change.

    Thanks also for reminding us the other blue chip sponsors IMS has picked up.

  5. Not to mention how it would improve the view from the offices of the AUL building. Do you remember when Circle Center had a contest for the best roof design after the mall was completed? Great opportunity here...
