Buzzing Around Town

Happy Independence Day, firecrackers! I hope you're enjoying the summer thus far.
If you're thinking about entering the Indiana State Fair open show, the deadline is July 1. The entry fee is $30, but they send you a packet of six tickets (a $72 value) and you can earn a years worth of bragging rights - I'll be defending my Ugly Lamp blue ribbon. To enter visit www.indianastatefair.com and click through to the State Fair and then competitions.

Thursday, August 2, 2018: Jif and the Choosy Mothers (popular covers)
When I saw that Jif and the Choosy Mothers were playing I was inspired to dig through my tubs of band tee shirts and find my Jif shirt. I wore the heck out of that thing in the late 80s. I have many happy memories of seeing them at the Vogue, Patio, and Midsummer Fest. I'm looking forward to seeing them again. I'll be the one wearing the slightly stained Jif and the Choosy Mothers top.





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.
