In defense of Uptown

By Jay Gabler, Front Row Seat

I like the Gasthof as much as the next guy, but still, when I most recently went looking for a new place, there was never any doubt in my mind that I’d stay in Uptown. For the love of God, you ask, Why?!

TCDP TOP PICK | "Anna Karenina" at the Uptown Theatre

11/21/2012 (All day) - 11/27/2012 (All day)

TCDP TOP PICK: In some respects, Joe Wright's new film based on Tolstoy's classic novel Anna Karenina follows the well-trod path of literary film adaptations—for example, all the Russian characters, in Russia, speak UK-accented English—but in other respects, Wright takes bold risks. Framing the story as a play within a film within a universe of magical realism is at first distracting, but by the end of the movie, Wright's cinematic spell has been cast. This lavish winter epic offers bittersweet escape from the holiday bustle. (Read my full review in The Tangential.) - Jay Gabler

Jeffrey Skemp presents a cacophony of poetry at the Bryant-Lake Bowl

By Courtney Algeo, Lit Lyfe

Jeffrey Skemp's poem "No Memories, No Vice" from SPENT

Despite a great number of near-meets, sightings, and acknowledgements of friends-of-friends, I still haven't met poet Jeffrey Skemp. Prior to October 18, I had watched him read once, at the Hazel and Wren Words at WAM open mic last February, and in June, noticed him watching (and enjoying) Sierra DeMulder, Haley Lasche, Cary Waterman, and Richard Robbins reading at a Maeve's Session, while I sat hoping that he would get up and read as part of the open mic. No dice.
