One Art Event a Week: Wicked at the Murat Theatre

Week 14: Wicked at the Murat Theatre
Spoiler alert: this post exposes some of the plot twists of Wicked the Musical.

OK, here’s the truth: I disliked the book Wicked by Gregory Maguire. I labored through it all summer long a couple of years ago, vowing to understand why so many people were in love with the story. But I just didn’t get it.

So when my friend’s husband declined to accompany her to Wicked thContinue

One Art Event a Week: Indianapolis Airport

Week 13: Public Art at the Indianapolis Airport

A weeklong visit with my sister in Wyoming almost put a kink in my art attendance last week. But then it dawned on me: there’s art at the airport!

The Indianapolis Airport Authority’s art program began in 2005, when requests for propo… Continue

Larua, (It's Sarah Richcreek on my friend/partner, Karli's log on.)

You are the best, I tell ya! I will have to do this recipe because not only is it gluten free, but casein free as well. Woo hoo! Your vegan oatmeal cookies are a big hit. I will definitely give this recipe a try. Thanks for looking out for us! I would love to meet you in person sometime. Things keep getting busier and crazier. I can't ever go to First Fridays anymore - boo hiss. (Got a third job.) You can meet Karli this weekend. She will be manning our cookie booth at the Binford Farmers Market (62nd and Binford) from 8 to noon this Saturday - every Saturday. Our cookies are also at Good Earth in Broadripple, but I don't think that they have any of our vegan cookies there. If we don't get rained out, we'll be at the 38th and Meridian Farmers Market on Thursday from 4-6:30. Still trying to find time to get another vegan variety made. Hope to see/talk to you soon.

Thanks again!
-Sarah

Hi, Laura — I enjoyed reading your First Friday blog! After I left the Art Bank that night, I headed to the Athenaeum sale. Not surprisingly, most of the items were picked over, but I did manage to score a $5 basketball hoop. :-)

Thanks for letting me add you to our mailing list! The farmer's market went pretty well. We can't complain; it was our first market ever. We hope to do better this Saturday when we're at Joe's Butcher shop in Carmel. What program you have in mind for us? You can shoot me an email: sarah@thehotcookie.com or give me a call: 765-749-3285 anytime. :)

I'm sorry I missed you this evening. I hope you and all of the other SI Art Walk attendees had fun. I was baking up a storm and not finishing on time. I hope to catch up with you all next month.

Thanks for the words of encouragement and the article!
I think we should definitely pick a meeting place and time. I am not sure where to start, so I'll leave that up to you or Eric. Should be a very fun evening. I'm looking forward to it!

Laura, Indiana is not so big. We started our roastery 11 months ago in Marion. Visit our site, midwestorganiccoffee.comWe are having a lot of fun. Just got back from a meeting with city officials. We are going to have a coffee tasting for the downtown area. They are going to promote it. We are very excited. You are the first to hear. Are you and your parents coffee drinkers? Maybe you can get it into you schedule to come taste the coffee. Nothing like a cup of fresh roasted Kenya Ichamara AA.Smoooooooth!

Hey! Eric Deckers and I were talking today about the next First Friday Art walk thingy. We were thinking about gathering a small group of SI people. Are you down?

Hello, I am new to Smaller Indiana and thought I would reach out to connect and say hello. My name is Brandon and I am the Director for Musical Medicine. We build music libraries for hospitals.

Are you planning on attending the Chocolate Blues and Business Networking Festival next Thursday? I hear it's going to be huge, they expect about 1,500 people to attend. It should be a great networking day! I have free tickets, if you need a ticket, let me know and I'll email you one. If you want more details about it, it's listed under events on the 26th.

Have a good day and I look forward to networking with you. Please let me know if I can ever do anything for you,
Brandon

Oh, thank you so much! I'm trying to sell those pendants so I can buy the materials to make more! I see that you have a personal connection to the arts. I'm trying to get into the Indy Arts scene here. I miss my former art community back in Muncie. :(
