Pay what you CAN Night: Looped.
Based on a real event featuring a Hollywood legend.
Based on a real event, which has been the subject of gossip for years in Hollywood, Looped takes place in the summer of 1965, when an inebriated Tallulah Bankhead, well-known for her husky voice, outrageous personality, and devastating wit, returns to the studio to redub — or loop — one line of dialogue for her last movie, Die! Die! My Darling! Bankhead’s outsized personality dominates the young, frustrated film editor who is knocked for a loop by the tempestuous stage and screen icon.

Celtic Knot presents Dulahan at Flanagan’s Pub
We know you will “knot” want to miss the Celtic Knot weekend kicking off with performances by fan favorites, Dulahan, joined by the Dwyer School of Irish Dance and McGovern Irish Dance.
Dulahan is based in Dayton, Ohio and has performed regionally for the past 19 years. They are one of 3 bands that have performed every year at the Dayton Celtic Festival since its inception and have also been a frequent performer at Flanagan’s annual St Patrick’s Day celebrations. Dulahan draws on the traditional Irish and Scottish music that heavily influenced the bands early years, and incorporates varied contemporary American influences to create its unique musical niche. Dulahan combines the energy and drive of Irish Instrumental music, a hint of Celtic Rock and smidge of American Bluegrass with the invocative songwriting of Americana, Roots and Folk to create an infectious hybrid sound.
Remembering the Lives that were Lost During the Dayton Mass Shooting
Keeping the 9 Alive, August 4th
The FUDGE Foundation is planning an event to commemorate the anniversary of the Dayton Mass Shooting that claimed the lives of nine individuals and forever changed the lives of many members of our community.
They will be honoring those who were taken on Wednesday, August 4th, 2019, starting at 6pm in front of Blind Bob’s. There will be community leaders present to speak about gun violence and the danger it presents in our communities, a raffle contest with prizes donated from Mad River Adventures, Winans, movie tickets and many more, a candle lighting service, music and prayer as well as nine-minutes of silence to honor the victims who were fatally shot that night.
Resource guides to support those who are victims of trauma, such as mental health and support group information will also be available.
They invite the entire Dayton Metro community to join together at Blind Bob’s on August 4th to show their love and support for the families and individuals that have been affected by this senseless violence, as well as to seek out meaningful solutions to these shared problems.
The FUDGE Foundation is a non-profit organization that seeks to help individuals that are impacted directly and indirectly by mass shootings, violence, human trafficking, domestic abuse and other forms of trauma. Founded, by Dion Green, out of love and the memory of his father, Derrick Fudge.
One of the Most Popular Garlic Fest Dishes available at PangeaKeto
PangeaKeto’s Sweet Chili Garlic Chicken was one of the big hits of Garlic Fest this past weekend. Owner Matt Hayden said, “it was soooooooo NICE , after nearly two years, to finally be back at a festival. We have thoroughly missed the jovial atmosphere of the Garlic Fest, the opportunity to interact with old friends, old clients, colleagues, and of course the opportunity to make new ones.” Hayden first introduced this chicken dish at Garlic Fest 2016.
So they’ve decided to celebrate a somewhat return to normalcy, all week by serving the very same Garlic Fest Menu of SWEET CHILI GARLIC CHICKEN, PIZZA BOMBS and ITALIAN CRUNCH SLAW !! To show our appreciation to Garlic Fest, they will be donating $1 of each GARLIC FEST CHICKEN to the Garlic Hall of Fame which recognizes community nominated people in the Foodservice sector that have had a positive impact on the local food scene.

Local Chef In Finals of National Cooking Competition
This pint sized chef is a finalist in a K-12 National Cooking Competition. Audrey Creighton is one of five finalists in this nationwide competition that will air on July 28 (12p ET) via livestream.
This Oakwood resident got the cooking bug during the pandemic, when she found a cookbook created by her Great Grandmother. There were over 200 old school Italian recipes and Audrey challenged herself to make 50 of them. And she did, from crab meat tortellini, biscotti, lasagna and 47 more meals. Her large family also loved this challenge as they got to enjoy the end results. Audrey also launched a website to document the meals she was making.
After making it through her first challenge, she decided to use her family travels to inspire her further, taking on new cuisines. She calls this her Bon Voyage challenge and explains, “I choose a place that I have traveled to and then, I choose a dish I had there and I recreate it!” She was able to take a cooking class in Spain, treated her mom to a pasta class for Mother’s Day and attended some local nosh-ups for more ideas. Her father, Sean Crieghton says what impresses him the most about Audrey’s cooking is her calm demeanor in the kitchen and admits she is indeed the best cook in the family. Her favorite thing to cook is salmon and she explains, “its because there are so many ways to infuse flavor into it.” She’s even experimented with some molecular gastronomy making chocolate noodles, vinegar pearls and balsamic lemon foam. She says her favorite restaurant is Nanyea, the Ethiopian eatery on North Dixie.
As part of her virtual schooling, her counselor suggested she enter the Virtual Cooking Competition put on by Stride. She was one of five chosen and the youngest to advance to the finals which will air this Wednesday. Here are the rules she has to follow:
Competitors will have 30 minutes to create a meal for one using this list of ingredients + any pantry staples:
– at least one green ingredient
– an ingredient that starts with a “C”
– an ingredient from the freezer
– a source of protein
– at least three spices that are not salt or pepper
Let’s all tune in and wish her well! And hope we’ll be lucky enough to have her cook for us someday. You can keep up with her cooking by subscribing to her newsletter. But Audrey insists this is just a hobby, her career goals are to become a lawyer and then a Senator.
