Remember when Wednesdays meant there was a fresh alt-weekly newspaper in the newspaper box on the corner?
In it you found faces you recognized — of your friends and maybe even yourself. Mirror Indy’s new arts and culture newsletter is an ode to that magic, which is why it will hit your mailbox every Wednesday at noon. You can read or listen to it!

Today’s newsletter is read to you by Kan-Kan Cinema’s cult classic movie host and infamous drag entity Vanity Rex.
Over the weekend, “Will & Harper” was released on Netflix. The film follows comedian Will Ferrell and his longtime collaborator and best friend, Harper Steele, on a cross-country roadtrip following Steele’s coming out as a trans woman.
One of their stops was Indianapolis, where they watched a Pacers game, met Gov. Eric Holcomb and were the subject of transphobic tweets.
As a palette cleanser of those mean tweets, I’d like to offer reporter Breanna Cooper’s story about Coby Palmer, an incredible human being who died last week at age 80.
In their time among us, Palmer raised more than $3 million for HIV/AIDS service organizations and made Indy a better place for everyone.
In today's newsletter we also have tips for October First Friday and details about “Toni Stone,” the play that celebrates the first woman to play in the Negro Leagues — right here in Indianapolis.
