Was that you I spoke to at the Penrod Art Fair? Or maybe we ran into each other at one of the two Indianapolis City Ballet benefits? Or perhaps it was at the Indiana Repertory Theatre's season opening production of "Dracula"? Then again, it might have been at Beef & Boards' "Singin' in the Rain" or Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre's "The Drowsy Chaperone." Then again, maybe you were off doing something different--like catching the new exhibition at the IMA, listening to Earth Wind and Fire team up with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, or just taking a close look at a certain statuesque downtowner before she rises to her rightful place on Monument Circle again. Whatever the case, share your weekend arts experiences here.

  • Penrod
    Enjoyed Penrod again. Highlight for me was the bike ride there along the canal from downtown.
  • Busy weekend
    We got lunch (and T-shirts) at the Tipton County Pork Festival, then made it to Indy Hostel in time to see the Punkin Holler Boys and the Spud Puppies reunion. Good stuff. Nice backyard venue. We'll be back.
  • Chinese Festival
    Saw & heard some wonderful performances of Chinese music, dances and Tai Chi at the annual Chinese Festival downtown Military Park.
  • Symphony/Jon McLaughlin
    The Sypmphony on the Prarie with Jon McLaughlin...terrific. Jon is local (Anderson native), very talented, and it appears he has been woodshedding on the piano...his playing has progressed significantly since his earlier incarnations...his friend Jay Roush did the orchestrations and conducting...a wonderful show, and the weather cooperated, unlike at several outdoor shows this summer. A great evening. Thanks Jon!
  • Dracula/Penrod
    'Saw Dracula at the IRT Thurs. - great show with drama, minimal gore, laughs, and suspense - well done by all and worth seeing - it closes 10/1. Penrod seemed smaller all around - less project booths, smaller crowds, less people carrying purchase artwork out. There's so muuch more going on that day than there used to be.
  • Great weekend!
    Made it to Zionsville Fall Festival, then to the Tipton Pork Festival, then wrapped up with Earth, Wind & Fire and the ISO at The Lawn. OMG! What an amazing show! After 40 years, they still have got it going on. Sounded just like my well-loved recordings. Fabulous concert!!
  • Darius Rucker
    Wonderful high energy concert at the Palladium, Friday night.
  • weekend
    we enjoyed the Indy Hostel event, the St Joan of Arc French festival, a Lincoln lecture at the ISM, Ragsdale exhibit at the JCC, DK at Penrod. Didn't enjoy the Colts' game.
  • Penrod & Ballet
    Great time at Penrod - quality vendors and really impressed by the Indiana Ballet Conservatory's dancing. Went to the Indianapolis City Ballet's Gala - wonderful again! Missed seeing Osipova and Vasiliev, but there were some very nice surprises. We're getting spoiled in Indiana! Can't wait 'til next year!

  1. The Fringe! Plus, the simple fact that there are so many local faves in such close proximity to each other.

  2. I remenber, watching the toll road, being built, through South Bend, when I was 10 years old. I believe, back then that it was estimated, that the toll road, would be paid for in 20 years and then it would be free. I am now 71, what happened? Since the power is in the people, by that, I mean that, we the people are in total control of everything. I, suggest that no one ever use the toll road again, let it go broke. We the people can control the price of everything, from groceries to gas, if we would just do it. If we don't pay the asking price, the sellers will lower the price and if we wait awhile, they will lower the price to what we accept as reasonable. I would like to know why a highway like interstate 94, is so well maintained, a much better highway, than the toll road, but has no tolls. I would also like to know why, a sitting governor, with a term limit, maximum of eight years, can lease, public property, for 75 years. Even though I have transponders in both of my trucks and will not be affected by the increase, I have been and will contine to avoid using the toll road. I make many trips from northern Indiana to Chicago, every year, and I prefer the better highway, I94!

  3. Coming from her background,she should be used to those kinds of advances! Menard probably figured it was ok to tuck a buck!

  4. I'm still waiting for the list of available, high quality apartments in the Village.

  5. This criminal masquerading as a lawyer obviously has serious issues. He’s been proven by his own testimony to be a pathological liar and probably has a personality disorder as he seems to be constructing a reality around himself. He places no value on truth, honesty or loyalty as evidenced by what he has done to his clients and his own family. And by the demands and lies he has made in court, it is evident he feels entitled to do and say whatever suits his purpose and everyone else is expected to nod obediently and believe him because he is, after all, Bill Super Lawyer; or BS lawyer for short. This millionaire wanna-be no longer owns anything of value; he squandered it and put everything he had into foreclosure. He has no money, house, car, boat or vacation home left to show for what he earned or what he stole. He’s just another loser without morals who will be doing time. I’m certain all of his courtroom shenanigans are antagonizing his poor victims. As Lamar said, his behavior and claims in court have been outrageous. The judge needs to be more than concerned; he needs to be judicial and end this nonsense.
