Or maybe you’re reading this on a computer screen. Either way, it’s now up to Yyou to start turning pages and find what flips your switch. We can practi- cally guarantee that you’ll find something. Probably several things. If it’s music, we’ve got everything from classical (the Fort Wayne Philharmonic, page 5) to country (Cole Swindell, page 6). If it’s family fun, we suggest you check out the Bluffton Street Fair (page 7). And for high- heeled hilarity for a good cause, there’s our cover story on Fort Wayne Women’s Bureau’s Walk a Mile in Her Shoes (page 4). Go a bit deeper for previews on three upcoming theatrical productions (pages 20 and 21), or see what Nick Braun serves up in his weekly Out & About column (page 10). And by all means, check out the ads. Especially check out the ads. They are, after all, what enable us to bring you whatzup week in and week out at absolutely no cost to you. So please check out our advertisers, support them and remember to thank them for whatzup when you see them. • features ROAD NOTEZ ................................. 15 FLIX ................................................ 18 A Most Wanted Man WALK A MILE IN HER SHOES ..................4 Red Pumps on Parade DIRECTOR’S NOTES ...................... 20 Over the River and Through the Woods FORT WAYNE PHILHARMONIC ................5 Comings and Goings’ PRODUCTION NOTES .................... 20 The Fantasticks COLE SWINDELL ........................................6 ‘Chillin’ It’ in the Bigs DIRECTOR’S NOTES ...................... 21 Interval BLUFFTON STREET FAIR ..........................7 Enchanted Evenings • calendars Los Lobos • columns & reviews September 27, 8 pm LIVE MUSIC & COMEDY ................10 KARAOKE & DJS ...........................13 SPINS ...............................................8 Indiana Jones & the Rio Piedras, Alvvays MUSIC/ON THE ROAD ...................15 BACKTRACKS ..................................8 ROAD TRIPZ ..................................17 Dr. Dre, The Chronic (1992) MOVIE TIMES ................................18 OUT & ABOUT ................................ 10 Coliseum Books Another Big Rock Show ART & ARTIFACTS .........................20 SCREENTIME ................................ 14 STAGE & DANCE ...........................21 A Hard Time to Be a Cinephile THINGS TO DO ..............................22 ON BOOKS ..................................... 14 Cover design by Greg Locke The Storied Life of A.J.
