The Wilhelm Scream Improv @ Northside Tavern

00/00/

The Wilhelm Scream Improv at the Northside Tavern with help from the Cincinnati Rollergirls.

The Big Vasily

Last night's Russian Rhapsody concert at Music Hall was not well attended. The solo pianist, Jon Kimura Parker was undaunted by the lack of audience and gave a great performance, even coming back for an encore, addressing the audience from the stage as if it were an intimate setting.

The afterparty at Lavomatic was fun. The food was fantastic, of course and it was a perfectly crisp fall night. We occupied the upper floor and patio and projected The Big Lebowski on the wall of the condos next door.

Congratulations to Enjoy the Arts for another unique 20/20 event!

Commando Midpoint

I don't know who I am going to see at Midpoint this year. I had planned to spend a few weekends reviewing all of the bands, listening to all of their MySpace pages, but alas no, I didn't get that done.

Instead I am going to Commando Midpoint and just jump in and see what happens. I will hit the pre-show tonight at Fountain Square to see Seabird tonight at 6PM, with my CityBeat program in hand and will pick out tonight’s shows.

Sunday Night - Lite Brite

John Waters "hate[s] to be the one to tell you" any number of things: that there is a website dedicated to "blossoms", that he was convicted of obscenity every time charged, that he's looking for a pre-teen contortionist to include in his road show, etc.

Florencia en el Amazonas

Cincinnati Opera's first mainstage production in Spanish was last week at Music Hall. Saturday night's show was not sold out but had strong attendance.
