Reviews, previews, blogs, etc.

While this blog has loads of readers (110,000 page visits in January.), I’ve found, anecdotally, that that number includes some who know little about IBJ’s other arts and entertainment coverage.

So I thought I’d take today’s posting and give you a rundown on what you can find where.

Reviews. In the print edition of IBJ — and on the main page of www.ibj.com – you can find my weekly A&E column. There, I review two or three arts events I caught that week. The mix includes music, theater, dance, visual art, literary arts and more. If you want honest opinion on Indy offerings (and an occasional out-of-town production), take a look. FYI to arts geeks: My critical guru is Howard Clurman, who penned reviews for Harper's, The New Republic and elsewhere for more than six decades. If my work can hold a candle to his, then I'm doing okay.
Previews. Sign up for IBJ Daily at http://www.ibj.com/enews/ and you’ll get an e-mail blast every Thursday with critically selected previews of A&E events. These aren’t just rewritten press releases. Instead, I try to provide some insight into why these events are on my high-hopes list. IBJ Daily A&E also includes a weekly ticket giveaway contest. In the past, we’ve give tickets to the Indianapolis Opera, the Broadway Series, concerts at the Music Mill and Conseco Fieldhouse and much more. We also tie in a question to the contest every week and link readers to the often very fun results.
News. Reporter Jennifer Whitson covers the business of arts and entertainment for IBJ. Her stories appear in both the print edition of IBJ and IBJ Daily. Her recent news stories can also be found at www.ibj.com. Occasionally other IBJ writers and freelancers will contribute A&E stories as well.
Blog. You probably already know what we do here (since you are, well, here). But for newcomers, Lou Harry’s A&E blog is a virtual office watercooler for discussion of arts and entertainment locally, nationally and internationally. This is also where we announce—and hear readers reviews of—IBJ Night at the Movies, featuring preview screenings of films (including, tonight: “The Other Boleyn Girl”). Your comments are encouraged for the day’s or for previous day’ posts.
 

I’d love to hear your comments on our coverage. Feel free to post here or e-mail me at lharry@ibj.com.

  1. Saw the Indy Men's Chorus "Music of Gilbert & Sullivan" at the Indiana Historical Society on Sunday evening.

  2. Temporary workers are not "tools" they are people and companies that keep large amounts of temp staff are cheating.

  3. I miss having them around. I hope one of their stores is in the general Meridian/86th Street area. I will make good use of it.

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

  5. 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!
