Milwaukee Film Festival announces 2013 dates

Published Jan. 15, 2013 at 9:21 a.m.

The fifth annual Milwaukee Film Festival will take place Sept. 26-Oct. 10, 2013, it was announced today.

This year's call for entries, announcements of venues and ticket pre-sale dates will be announced in the upcoming months.

The 15-day schedule is due to the positive response to the film festival's longer duration in 2012, says Artistic and Executive Director Jonathan Jackson.

"Last year we took a gamble and extended the festival from 11 to 15 days. Milwaukee did us proud and came out strong for the entire run, including 19 sell-outs in those extra four days. We couldn't be happier to announce that we'll be back for a full 15 days again in 2013."

Do not have sex with a hornets nest. We mean it. Here`s why.

Middle age and fashion

Published Sunday, May 19

Just because a woman turns 35 or 38 or 40 doesn`t mean her wardrobe has to become a wasteland of frump and "mom jeans." Especially these days, when 40 is supposedly the new 30. But are there fashion dos and don`ts for middle-aged women?

Steinbach's back

Published Sunday, May 19

It`s been a long time since we`ve heard from Zach Steinbach. Nearly five years ago Steinbach fronted The Color Truth, a Milwaukee band that seemed poised to take the next step with its big, melodic, poppy rock and roll. The band fizzled out a couple years back, leaving Steinbach a bit lost. But now, he`s back. He`s got a band, and he`s got a new solo record. More, than anything, he says, he`s got a new lease on a musical life.

Most paid for jeans?

Published Sunday, May 19

In honor of Retail Week at OnMilwaukee.com, we asked the group how much they spend on jeans. Once again, responses ranged greatly, from $0 to $500.
