Fringe Blog: “murder, hope”

I’m not usually a big fan of non-linear performances, but my curiosity is always wide open. So last night, I went to see “murder, hope” at Theatre on the Square. This new solo show was written and performed by Becky Poole from Infinity Live Productions in New York City. It’s based on Poole’s experience with her nephew’s diagnosis of a rare brain disorder called Landau-Kleffner Syndrome.… Continue

Fringe Blog: When One Fringe Door Closes, Another One Opens—Matthew Roland's “Another Classic of Western Literature”

My first night of Fringing started with a quick stop at the Chatterbox Jazz Club to meet my friend and fellow Fringer Melissa Gallant. We enjoyed a beverage and small talk with C’Box owner David Andrichik before heading down the avenue for the 9 p.m. showing of “America’s Next Top Bottom” at Th… Continue

Indy Arts Fans Ready to Grab Spotlight

I’m an arts fan and a sports fan, which means I’m living proof that the two are not mutually exclusive. And while I’ve chosen to contribute more of my time and money to the Indy arts scene, I certainly don’t begrudge the pro teams that anchor our world-class city (even though I cringe at the red-carpet treatment they receive). It’s all about the experience I’m seeking. And the experiences I have when I’m perusing works at a gallery, listening to the symphony or cheering in the stands at a game a… Continue

I've Been Woefully Wimpy About Caring for the Environment

Nothing dies harder than a bad habit. But at least I was willing to take my first step toward recovery by attending the Spirit & Place discussion titled Imagining Creation: Exploring the Spiritual Mandate for Creation Care. Armed with a bottled water (strike one), I sat near the stage so I could hear each panelist pontificate about whether or not we have a moral obligation to care for the environment. Do we? I couldn’t wait to find out what they thought. Although I’ve never hugged a tree a… Continue

Is Voting in the Primary Worth the Price of Declaring a Political Party?

I just left the polls and am proudly wearing my “I Voted” sticker. But even though I did my civic duty, I have this sinking feeling that someone, somewhere, could misuse my now-public record. I'll also have to prepare myself for the onslaught of political mail. (Sigh) Being forced to declare a political party stinks, because I’m not a straight ticket voter. In fact, this is the first time I remember voting in a primary election, because I wasn’t willing to declare an affiliation in other electi… Continue

I survived the earthquake of 2008!

I can't remember what I was dreaming about before the armoire in our master bedroom started shaking and squeaking. The bed shook too, but I was more concerned about our tall headboard toppling down. What was happening?! I'm usually the only one in our house who hears strange noises in the dark, but this time my husband was a witness. And our 7-year-old daughter, who had crawled into bed with us earlier that night, experienced it as well. At first I thought it was high winds, but one look out th… Continue

Wannabe Blogger

Even without a laptop, I felt connected to my SI friends as we commandeered the southern steps of Monument Circle during Monday’s BlogMob. The fact that I had zero blogs under my belt didn’t deter me from participating. I was a wannabe blogger. So, what better place to gain insight and inspiration than surrounded by a bunch of pros? Lucky for me, Erik Deckers, John Uhri an… Continue
