And as you can see from theE contents listed below, there’s plenty of it, starting with Michele DeVinney’s cover story on the Fort Wayne Ballet’s annual Valentine treat, Love Notes (see page 4). Chris Hupe follows that up with his preview of the Honeywell’s good, old fashioned rock n’ roll extravaganza featuring both Warrant and Firehouse, two bands that have always done well when they’ve visited these parts. See page 5. If your taste runs more towards country, Honeywell’s got you covered there as well with Locash, a country duo with local roots and a number of hits under their belt. Deborah Kennedy previews that show on page 6. Rounding things out is Michele DeVinney’s profile of Star 69, a local band that’s building a substantial fan base among lovers of 90s rock n’ roll. So there are this week’s feature stories, and, as is always the case, there’s lots more to read in this week’s issue. But to really get a handle on whatzup this week and in coming weeks, we suggest you check us out online at whatzup.com, where you’ll find even more feature stories and calendars, including movie showtimes.
