Hosted at 4 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 25 across several venues in the area – No Studios, Preservation Park, Best Place and Milwaukee Brewing Company – the Equinox Festival will gather some of the city's best musicians along with local vendors, tasty food, beer deals and more for a late summer celebration.

As much as it is a gigantic cliché to say that one has always had a passion for film, Matt Mueller has always had a passion for film. Whether it was bringing in the latest movie reviews for his first grade show-and-tell or writing film reviews for the St. Norbert College Times as a high school student, Matt is way too obsessed with movies for his own good.
When he's not writing about the latest blockbuster or talking much too glowingly about "Piranha 3D," Matt can probably be found watching literally any sport (minus cricket) or working at - get this - a local movie theater. Or watching a movie. Yeah, he's probably watching a movie.
