    These guys look so old they could be the real Beatles parents. There is something extremely unsettling about guys (presumably) in their late fifties portraying guys in their early twenties. In their striving to be perfect recreations of Beatles songs they take any liveliness and fun out their performance. Dull, lifeless and downright creepy! Collapse

    I love this party, we have been going since 2002 and the past three years have been the best. Wonderful band and a large dance floor in one of the most beautiful locations you can find anywhere. The meal is always good and the service is wonderful. The overall feeling is the kind of elegant New Year's Eve you see in the movies. We spent years going to other parties, travelling into Chicago or off to resorts... only to be disappointed. This does not disappoint - it actually inspires. It is romantic and traditional so probably not so much fun without a date, but wonderful with someone to share the evening. If we moved, I would travel back to town just for this event. Collapse

    If you enjoy "true" comedy, the "real-life" situations of today, the this comedy show by Carlos Mencia is a MUST! He tells it "like it is" about all races, nationalities and religions, and the funny thing about that is, it's ALL true. His material is for young and old (18 - 65). Collapse

    "Grace and Gratitude" has a purpose—the long-lived artist's belief that music can boost the body's healing processes. As a long-term breast cancer survivor, Newton-John aligned with Walgreens for the exclusive release of this set along with a line of breast health products. In collaboration with producer/writer Amy Sky, Newton-John puts her spin on diverse influences, from Tibetan chants and Islamic prayers to a Latin benediction. Not exactly "Heart Attack" or "Physical," huh? Newton-John is soulfully committed to every word she sings, and fans will be taken by the plush arrangements, melodic warmth and, of course, the artist's regal vocals. Among the 10 songs (complemented with an interlude between each track), "Pearls on a Chain," "To Be Wanted" and "Let Go Let God" are as formidable as anything Newton-John catapulted to the single charts way back when. —Chuck Taylor Collapse

    The Aly and AJ concert was amazing! I loved seeing them in real life! It was an awesome experience!We kept yelling "We love you Aly and Aj!",and they kept yelling,"We love you too!" Aly was quite impressed with the Morris which was,"all cool and fancy," and they both said that Indiana rocks! It would be really cool if they could come to Indiana again to have another concert, and it would be my dream come true if I could meet them! We think that they're really famous and everything, but their just normal average everyday people like us! I think they're really good role models, unlike Brittany Spears!This was their first concert on their tour which was really cool and once they saw how much we liked them then it was easier for them to perform! We were the first groups of people to hear their new song Chemicals React! These sisters are really talented! They play guitar, electric guitar, keyboard, and they can really belt out on the bongos! Thanks for performing in IN! Love, Courtney H Collapse
