For those of you that did not make it to the new Town Ballroom last night for the Artvoice 'Best Of' awards, not only was the new venue stellar, the crowd rocked as well. Restaurants from around the city donated spectacular culinary delights as local poets, musicians and performers entertained the spectators. The Town Ballroom will open to the public this Friday for Curtains Up!. The old Sphere has been transformed into a local heavy hitter for theater groups, concerts, and a variety of other performance groups in the area. The original art deco lamps remain in tact, as do the theater's original architectural details. If you have not booked your tix for Curtains Up! this weekend, I suggest you seriously consider a show at the newly renovated Town Ballroom.

Now, in a post-modern era of skyrocketing gas prices, re-urbanizati …
