Buzzing Around Town - by Nora Spitznogle

Buzzing Around Town

Hello fireflies, I hope that July is treating you well so far. I've been seeing lots of music and taking advantage of the warm weather to ride my bike, walk, and even scooter around the neighborhood. Working in the yard, not so much - sorry neighbors! Enjoy whatever it is you love to do in the summer.

Jon McLaughlin
Thursday, July 12, 2018
The Vogue
6259 N. College Ave
21+, $25 advance, $30 day of show, doors 7 pm, show 8 pm
I just love Jon McLaughlin. Not only is he a fabulous musician, but he clearly has a generous spirit. While he tours nationally and has supported tours with industry giants (Billy Joel, Kelly Clarkson, Adele) and co-written and sung with other very big acts (Demi Lovato, Sara Bareilles) he shares his talent with his home state.
Jon's music is full of hooks and heartfelt lyrics and passionate piano playing-the sort of things that get stuck in your head (in a great way). Cyrus Youngman and the Kingfishers and Wax Nostalgic are the opening acts.
Jon is donating 100% of the ticket proceeds to the anti-human trafficking group, Purchased. The Indiana-based nonprofit is now in their tenth year of fighting sex trafficking, educating the public, and providing a mentorship program for Indiana victims.


Cowboy Show 2018
Monday, July 16, 2018
Broad Ripple Park, Dance Studio
1550 Broad Ripple Ave - all-ages (suggested 3 - 8 years old), $3 (with discounts for two or more participants), 1-2 pm
Cowpoke Paul sings the songs and tells the stories of the history of the Western United States. With a set out of Dodge City, Paul brings the American Cowboy to Broad Ripple.
The link to purchase tickets is really long. I suggest doing an internet search for "cowboy show 2018 broad ripple park" and that will get you there quicker than trying to type in the link.


HBR Summer Movie Series - While You Were Sleeping (1995)
Thursday, July 19, 2018
Hotel Broad Ripple
6520 Westfield Blvd - all ages - film is rated PG-13, free, 9 - 11 pm
I didn't see a lot of movies as a kid - in fact I can name all three: Wizard of Oz, Oliver, and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. I was so enamored with Chitty Chitty Bang Bang that I named my new kitten that. After my parents heard me calling for Chitty Chitty, they suggested that I change her name. And that's how Checkers got her new moniker. I was very careful to keep the CH sound in case she didn't recognize her new name. In retrospect I'm guessing that my parents were trying to get me to change exactly that sound.
Anyway, all of the older movies are new to me and some of the newer ones are too. The tables and chairs at the hotel fill up quickly so I suggest bringing your own lawn chairs and picnic blanket. They serve beer, wine, and delicious and shareable cheese, meats, vegetable and other delights. Please don't bring your own booze - it's against the liquor laws and not at all polite.





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.
