Hoosiers are dipping their toes into the competitive pool of moviemaking. Just recently, Noblesville native Kate Chaplin and Indy resident Amy Pauszek teamed up to produce the sci-fi film Ingenthe story of a human analog being raised by a couple.

The notoriously ornery Guns N’ Roses caused the latest start of all time at the Noblesville venue. Here’s why.

The festival and its parent organization make for a well-oiled machine at this point, with 1,000 human and 600 canine comers at its annual Pet Pride event, along with five felines, and 32,000 onlookers at its June 8 parade.

About 85,000 attendees took in the day’s events, including the entertainment on three stages—DJs, drag queens, and song-and-dance acts. The week-long festival’s main day of events attracted about 15,000 more comers than in its previous two years, a sizable gain.

They’re featured on the album Ghost Brothers of Darkland County, written by John Mellencamp and Stephen King. The legendary T-Bone Burnett produced the record.

The happy-go-lucky phenom danced his way through a lot of lightning-fast rock pieces, but it was the classical tunes and his friendly interludes at the mic that won us over this time around.

Last week Indy was awarded hosting duties for a match featuring a pair of soccer’s international superpowers on Aug. 1. Tickets go on sale tonight (June 4) at 10 p.m. and range from $30 to $135. This came on the heels of the splashy announcement in May that the Indy Eleven pro soccer team will kick into action next year.

Talbot (June 8–9) continues to lure new artists, but sometimes making a truly fresh discovery means looking beyond its rows. And you don’t have to go far: All around the Herron-Morton Place neighborhood, complementary events are cropping up that, to the average participant, must look like an extension of Talbot.

IM: What was the first six-string you owned?
RP: A Kay State of the Art. If you know anything about guitars, you know Kays are the cheapest kind there is. It was an electric, but it had no amplifier when I got it, so it was really quiet. But it made my hands strong. Actually, I wish I had that guitar back.

The Third Man Rolling Record Store, a yellow truck that sells material from the label of the same name, was parked in front of LUNA music in SoBro yesterday. Started by indie-rock icon Jack White, the Nashville label has something of a cult following, and the truck drives to different cities throughout the year to sell primarily vinyl records from bands ranging in genre from hip hop to rock to country.

Freiman’s impending evaporation from Indy is the latest move at the IMA, where relatively new director and CEO Charles Venable, who started in October 2012, has made an array of changes.

Update: The reports were true, and two Bonehams will indeed compete—against each other—on the new season of Survivor, premiering tonight at 8 p.m. on CBS.

I’m kicking myself for not buying a perfect Cynthia Rowley insulated picnic basket at T.J. Maxx this weekend — especially now that Indy Parks has released its summer concert schedule. The list conjures tantalizing visions of carefree summer nights: no parking hassles and no TicketMaster fees, just lounging in the grass as tunes waft through the warm air. Bring it on!

Eventually, the time comes when you realize the music that defined their youth is now old—and that you, by extension, are now old, too.

He’s a Hoosier, which helps explain Kinnear’s star turn in this month’s exhibit The Bigger Picture Show. The annual fundraiser for the Indianapolis International Film Festival honors the Logansport native’s career on May 11 at Big Car Service Center.
