This unique event provides art connoisseurs and the merely art-curious Ia wonderful, if fast-paced way to explore our town’s bustling and diverse art world. And if art mystifies you, the trip’s well worth your time and effort if only for the culinary delights you get to experience along the way. Check out Michele DeVinney’s feature on next Thursday’s 2011 Trolley Tour on page 4. Those who appreciate humor over art will want to flip to page 5 for Deb Kennedy’s feature on comedian James Gregory and Mark Hunter’s interview with Blue Collar Comedy Tour veteran Ron White. Gregory, billed as the fun- niest man in America, appears at Wabash’s Honeywell Center on Friday, Sept. 23; White, whom many consider the funniest man on Earth, takes the stage at the Embassy two days later. Finally, for Fort Wayne music scenesters, Hunter’s back on page 6 with a pro- file of one of Fort Wayne’s more eclectic and talented cover bands, Juke Joint mi tunes 101.9 and 105.9 the bash Jive. There’s tons more, obviously – our usual columns and reviews and the welcome most extensive art and entertainment calendars you’ll ever find in print. And best of all, it’s all free. So start turning pages and making plans to have a little more fun before the weather turns. All we ask is that you tell one and all who sent you: whatzup did. • features CURTAIN CALL ............................... 21 Henry IV: Making a King TROLLEY TOUR ...........................................4 FLIX ................................................ 24 Canvassing Canvases Another Earth JAMES GREGORY ....................................5 SCREENTIME ................................ 26 An Appetite for Humor Stoked Over Drive RON WHITE .............................................5 Sardonic Stylings • calendars JUKE JOINT JIVE .................................. 6 Keeping It in the Pocket LIVE MUSIC & COMEDY ...................8 KARAOKE & DJs ...........................15 • columns & reviews MUSIC/ON THE ROAD ...................16 SPINS ................................................7 ROAD TRIPZ ..................................18 Washed Out, Book of Knots ART & ARTIFACTS .........................20 fri. sept. 23 BACKTRACKS ..................................7 STAGE & DANCE ...........................21 Scorpions, Animal Magnetism (1980) THINGS TO DO ..............................22 7:30 pm OUT & ABOUT ................................ 10 Rockin’ Out for Our Furry Friends CINEMA .........................................24 $12, $18, $25 ROAD NOTEZ ................................. 17 Cover by Greg Locke.
