“School House Wrong”
Sept. 16
IndyFringe Building
The runaway hit of the Indy Fringe festival is back for a one-night-only encore as a fundraiser for the Fringe Building (although don’t be surprised if it pops up again soon). In case you missed it, the show spoofs the classic, catchy edu-tainment shorts that many of us grew up on, only here the lessons aren’t quite the ones sanctioned in school. The $20 ticket also gets you something you couldn’t get in your school cafeteria: beer. See my review of the Indy Fringe production here. . For details on the performance, click here.

Take less than a minute out of your day for a bit of DeSare here recorded at the Blue Note in Tokyo. After you hear it, you may want to get details on the concert here.
