We’re talking all things Kaufman during Monday’s live episode. Join us.

From July 31 through August 17, the Coliseum Concert Series will bring its first batch of performers through the spiffed-up multipurpose facility.

Hundreds of humans and pets turned out for Mutt Strut’s annual day of treats and fleet feet at IMS.

“Some say that through his books, John gives a voice to teenagers. I humbly disagree,” Shailene Woodley writes in TIME. “I think John hears the voices of teenagers.”

In another game of note, the Colts will visit the Dallas Cowboys’ Death Star—err, AT&T Stadium—for the first time ever on December 21, one of three away games that month.

The night’s apex arrived, quite literally, with performer La Fleur Soleil’s acrobatic showing, which withstood a minor technical difficulty to put on a subtly astounding display of burlesque-geisha passion.

Shops including James Dant, Leather Feather Stone, and Righno Boutique all set up on the scene, either in a freight container behind the venue or in the Sanctuary’s main chamber.

Tickets just went on sale for the U.S. Cricket National Championships in August. But wondering (aloud) what we might have paid for instead has already made for compelling sport.

The city’s only hot-sauce tasting bar, homesteading boutique, and moto-style men’s shop fill out Recess’s corner.

“Hopefully the word is out that I’m coming, and I’m looking to have some fun and enjoy the festivities,” he says.

“Many of my friends woke up at 3 years of age and said, ‘I have to be onstage.’ I never had that,” Streep said to her Bloomington audience. “I’ve always been an omnivore, interested in way too many things, but I found the one profession that fed all my appetites.”
