Email Louis Ross at waterloostudios.net@gmail.com for a viewing of his box assemblages, “Inside the Box,” at Waterloo Studios, 15316 Waterloo, until July 25. Wasn’t able to get to the opening on Fest day (being lashed to the Arts Collinwood booth), but the postcard is very intriguing. And it’s nice to hear of another studio on Waterloo.
World Premiere of I Am Alive, a short film by J. Buckner, with Galactic Mustache and Presque Vu * (bands will perform after screening). Sunday July 15.
And -- one of our favorite neighborhood artists, the multi-talented Meredith Pangrace, will perform in A Good Heart Will Break, with Maura Rogers and the Bellows, Saturday July 21.

AT THE MARKET
My July 4 visit to the market was well worth it – Francis supplied potatoes, tomatoes, corn and green beans (mine are just beginning to climb their poles), and also had cabbage, cauliflower, cucumbers, zucchini green and yellow, onions and of course eggs and cheese. From Gloria I got chard and raspberries – she also had beans and – given a few more moments – snow peas. And from Inner City Bakery I collected cupcakes – Red Velvet for Emma and lemon for Jane (who said it was so delicious it didn’t even need its icing (she’s four – I wonder if I should worry about that statement). Kevin was grilling and the market house smelled wonderful.
Save This Date: The market will be doing their third "Cookin' with your Kids" free cooking class on Saturday July 21. These are rapidly growing in popularity. Don't miss out.
