We may Adam Carolla Apr. 1 Murat Egyptan Room Indianapolis have to hire a consulting firm or exploratory committee to help us out.

The museum had not only added roughly 10,000 square feet to its already impressive dimensions, it also underwent a subtle renovation in its mission both as one of the Midwest’s foremost champions of American art and a vehicle for art-based community outreach. Now, with two new exhibits just begging to be seen – Big Lights/Big City: Interpretations of the Constructed World and Natural Selections: Interpretations of the Natural World – the new and improved FWMoA is really hitting its stride. Flip to page 4 for Susie Suraci’s feature on this yin and yang look at the world around us. You might have thought that Drowning Pool had sunk for good under the trag- edy of losing their frontman and founding member Dave Williams in 2002, but this foursome is proof positive that making it in the music biz is all about resil- ience, determination and, of course, pure love of rock n’ roll. Drowning Pool will be at Piere’s Friday, April 8 along with Pop Evil, Trust Company, Static Cycle and Anew Revolution. Mark Hunter has the scoop on page 5. So what else, you might ask, is up? We’ll tell you. I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change is running at the Allen County Public Library Auditorium April 1-17. Craig Humphrey’s Director’s Notes are on page 17. Also on page 17 is Kevin Smith’s review of the University of Saint Francis production of Jesus Christ Superstar. And besides that, we have CD reviews, the area’s most com- plete entertainment calendars and Greg Locke’s look at this week in movies (page 22). What are you waiting for? The clock is ticking. Get out, have fun and, when you do, don’t forget to tell ’em whatzup sent you.
