Buzzing Around Town - by Nora Spitznogle

Buzzing Around Town

Happy autumn, dear readers. I always enjoy this time of year - the end of lawn mowing season is in sight and snow-shoveling seems so far away. It is also a great time to cozy up to a stage and hear some great music.

Halloween Dog Egg Hunt
Tuesday, October 31, 2017
Broad Ripple Park
1550 Broad Ripple Ave - 18+, 6:30 - 7 pm, free
You read that right. Bring your dog - dress 'em up for a chance for special prizes - for an egg hunt, on Halloween. I can't wait to hear how dogs hunt eggs. I wonder if I could put Tilly Cat in a dog costume? Nothing could go wrong with that plan, right?

Tiny Tonic
Saturday, November 11, 2017
Second Helpings - 1121 Southeastern Ave
All-ages, 10 - 11:30, free (donation of rice would be appreciated)
Tiny Tonic is the toddler version of the already-sold out Tonic Ball. The very talented Scott Rudicel is bringing his Ruditoonz show to Second Helpings. Tiny Tonic always makes my heart swell. Great music, happy dancing kiddos, and I get to show off Second Helpings. I've also realized that my dancing style hasn't evolved much - the toddlers and I have the same lurching, trying to keep from tipping over style. It's much cuter on a four-year old.





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.
