We’ve featured everything we’re going to feature, but you’ll Tfind places where you can get your fright on in our Things to Do calendar starting on page 18 or, better yet, in the advertisements you’ll find both within these pages and on whatzup.com. Wherever you go, please let your hosts know that you found them in whatzup. That’ll help them remember us next year, and by extension, help us keep you in the know next year and beyond. Turning to this week’s feature stories, you’ll want to make a point to read Steve Penhollow’s cover story on The Accidentals, a three-piece from Michigan that has been on quite a ride since they were last here. His piece is on page 4. On the following page you’ll find Michele DeVinney’s piece on Fort Wayne Taiko performing next weekend at the downtown branch of the Allen County Public Library. After that comes DeVinney’s profile of Jaenicke Consort, the multi- dimensional ensemble that has been entertaining and edifying area classical music lovers for the past two decades. In Spins, you’ll find John Hubner’s review of Three Cities’ Live from Lafayette, and way towards the back you’ll find yet another DeVinney piece, her Fare Warning column on dancer David Hallberg who will be visiting the Fort Wayne Ballet on November 4. That should be enough to keep you entertained for now, so please read on, find some fun stuff to do and remember to tell ’em who sent you. inside the issue • features FLIX ................................................. 16 Marshall SCREENTIME ................................. 16 THE ACCIDENTALS .....................................4 Tyler Perry and the Demise of Film Broadening Their Horizons FARE WARNING ............................. 19 FORT WAYNE TAIKO ...................................5 Noted Dancer to Speak Here Carrying the Beat Forward JAENICKE CONSORT .................................6 Always at the Ready • calendars • columns & reviews LIVE MUSIC & COMEDY ....................8 MUSIC/ON THE ROAD .................... 12 SPINS ................................................7 ROAD TRIPZ ................................... 13 Three Cities, LCD Soundsystem ART & ARTIFACTS .......................... 18 BACKTRACKS ...................................7 STAGE & DANCE ............................ 17 Ram Jam, Ram Jam (1977) THINGS TO DO ............................... 18 OUT AND ABOUT ...............................8 Cover by Brandon Jordan New Festival Coming to the Phoenix The Accidentals photos on cover and page 4 by Tony ROAD NOTEZ .................................. 12 Denim DON’T MISS IT!
