There is so much Tmore to see and do than there was when we published our first issue 19 years and one month ago, and the art and entertainment opportunities are more var- ied and expansive than ever before. Take this week’s cover story, for example; you won’t find any late 90s whatzup covers featuring Bharatanatyam dance. Today, though, it’s just another entertainment choice available in a town that grows more cosmopolitan city-like each and every year. (Deb Kennedy’s fea- UPCOMING EVENTS ture story is on 4.) Sept. 19 | 8pm Besides telling you what there is to do each week, part of our mission here at whatzup is to document the cultural growth of our community and preserve that documentation in the archives section of our website, www.whatzup.com. Toward Bi l l that end, on a more or less monthly basis we try to feature artists, performers, writers and others who are impacting Fort Wayne’s culture in a meaningful Ma h e r way. This week, for instance, Michele DeVinney features Matt Kelley and Chris Cute By Nature Worth, neither of whom need much of an introduction to longtime whatzup read- Cute By Nature Live Stand-Up Tour ers.
