Buzzing Around Town

Reviews:

Senator Obama
Indiana State Fair Grounds
Wednesday, October 8, 2008
I debated about whether to write about this, I don't want anyone to think that I (or the Gazette) am endorsing anyone. Ever since Indiana moved to the "swing state" column last month we've all been getting hit hard with ads and such. It was pretty amazing that a presidential candidate spoke in our back yard (pretty close, anyway). No matter what your political views are, it is pretty darn amazing to be standing just 30 feet from a presidential candidate.
My biggest goose-bumpy moment was when 12,000 of us recited the Pledge of Allegiance.
As exciting as this presidential election is, don't forget to pay attention to the local races. Your governor, city council members, school board members, assessors and township leaders have an awful big impact on your day-to-day life.

Frank Glover Quartet
The Jazz Kitchen
Frank Glover is a legendary saxophone player - he even has his own Wikipedia page, and is a Monday night tradition at the Jazz Kitchen. Mondays also feature the fabulous "8 before 8" dinner specials. The night I was there the $8 specials sounded great but I opted for the amazing eggplant tower from the regular menu, it seriously rocked.
The music is lovely and the food is amazing. Hanging out at the Jazz Kitchen is a great way to spend Monday night.

Not-for-profit director by day, music writer by night, Nora Spitznogle reviews music that happened and previews music and events around Broad Ripple Village. Nora managed CATH Inc coffeehouse at 54th Street and College Avenue for seven years. During that time she hosted hundreds of local and touring musicians, both at the coffeehouse and her home. When CATH closed in 2004 and the music was no longer coming to her, she had to wander from her corner of Broad Ripple to see what is happening elsewhere. You can find her at Second Helpings during the work day, waitressing at the Red Key on Saturday nights and prowling Broad Ripple music venues the rest of the time.
