  • ENOUGH! Plays to End Gun Violence at SBCT

    As a recipient on the South Bend Civic Theatre‘s email list, I found out about this event a week or two before and took advantage of the free ticket on a night I was kid-free. Free theatre? Plays written by teens? As a movement to end gun violence? Having the availability, I couldn’t pass it…

  • Coffee Shop Congressman

    This morning while eating my biscuits and gravy I noticed an individual walk in that looked familiar but couldn’t remember from where. Finally, it came to me: I found him in my mailbox on a campaign mailer. I was in the same room as Congressman Rudy Yakym from Indiana’s 2nd Congressional District. Oh, he doesn’t…

    I’ve lived in Michiana since 2013, but it wasn’t until today that I finally made it out to the Nappanee Apple Festival. The 49th annual event of this town with a population of less than 7,000 was everything I’ve heard it to be. Classic fair food trucks all over, carnival rides for the littles, vendors…

  • South Bend Roller Derby at the Fairgrounds

    Last summer at South Bend Pride I ran into someone who I hadn’t seen in a couple years. They were there promoting the South Bend Roller Derby, so of course I popped in for a hug that said “long time, no see” and asked more about SBRD. A couple months ago, a Facebook post announced…

  • #PMJtour stops at Four Winds

    I can’t remember if my first taste of Postmodern Jukebox was “All About That Bass” or “Dream On” but I remember catching them on YouTube and thinking, “Oh! That’s pretty cool!” and always made it a point to check them out whenever I saw them come up in my digital feeds.  The opportunity to catch…
