Louisville's Log
This is my favorite place to upload pictures too.
Louisville is a wonderful city.
Its not too big, and its not too small.
Its just about the right size to take roots in.
The people greet you with a southern hospitality and that southern drawl thats so adorable.

 jim  Three Dog Night Concert
The numbers we got were wrong.
An estimated 2,000 people showed up instead of 20,000.
Three Dog Night sang their songs just like the originals.
We hung out with Jesse and Tony at the Pub for most of the concert.
The crowd at Saddle Ridge was quite thin, but it got packed after midnight.
And I shouldn't drink Speckled Hen Ale. lol.

 jim  Fright Night at Six Flags

I rode a stand up roller coaster.
I got it a movie of it, but this site is too slow for streaming video.
It was really great, though!
We played with some racoons.
The pictures will follow. Gosh I love COONS. 
They sniffed us. One stood up and held out his little black hands.
The other one was niblling on my tennis shoe.
I ran off to get some pretzels for the little critters and they left. : (
In the end, we rode a Simulation Ride...ELVIRA's SCREAM PARK.
Or as Becky calls it, Elvira's Emotion Stimulator Ride.
It made the night.
Fourth Street Live was pretty dead
So here we are, at 10:30 pm, all burned out and hanging loose in the apartment.
But I look back now, and we had a pretty darned good day!
How bout y'all ?

 jim  Racoons - Upclose and Personal
I suppose I shouldn't so get thrilled about these little guys.
After all, I'd just gotten off a roller coaster at Six Flags.
These racoons came up to us, sniffed us, and one of them tried to eat my Tennis Shoe. They made my night!
"Pardon me Roy, is that the cat who chewed your new shoes?" One chewed my Walmart shoes. They like Walmart!

 jim  Around Town - Don Vito at Sullys, Jimmys
This girl was such a sweet heart
It seems that most of the girls that work downtown are working their way through college. This girl could be your shrink!
Anyone heard of Don Vito?
He played in Jackass: The Movie. Anyway, he was the main attraction on Fourth Street Live, Saturday night.

 jim  Petros - Serenaded by the Reminisce
It was early, we were walking by.
I gave a barmaid a light.
Petrus wasn't open yet.
We talked, had fun, then Nick Nichols from the Reminisce Band gave us comp tickets to get in for the bar's openning in 2 hours.
We were the only people there.
These guys left the bar, and got on stage the moment they saw us walked in.
I can't tell you how good, and how welcome that made me feel.
Thats Nick Nichols on the right.
Reminisce is the best I've heard yet.
They play blues, country, pop and rock. 
Call them 502-491-0630 or email them

 jim  Stevie Rays
This is a 2 man BBQ vender setup.
The bald fellow is working his way through college. He said it took 3 months to set up. You just need your venders license, and a health department permit.
This is the only cool smoking area
that I've seen in Louisville. 
Its a great place to meet the band.
Stevie Ray's got the blues music.
Its tiny, and about a mile walk from 5th Street, but it was all worth it.

You can see these glass blowers from the Main Street sidewalk. I'm amazed at some of the things they can do with melted sand.

 jim  If we leave, this is what I won’t miss
Toilets that you have to flush 3 times.
Freeways that split, then split again, then merge, just to split again!!!

Some of the people are clickish,

But then again, I guess thats okay.
-- Uh, I guess thats about it --

 jim  If we leave, this is what I’ll miss
Opportunities have been drifting my way for jobs in Florida, Georgia, Illinois, and Arizona.
They all sound great, but I will miss it here.
I'll miss the friends I have here,
the countryside, and all the excitement.
What I'm going to miss most of all though, is being a 7 minute walk away from 4th Street Live! It is, by far, the most exciting place in Louisville. Michael Bolton and Michael McDonald are coming in the next few weeks. Three Dog Night will be here too. And they'll be around the block from where we live.
These are the best times I've ever had.
I wondered why destiny sent me here, and now I think I finally realize the reason. It was to simply to enjoy life, and to not be such a nerd!

 jim  Average White Band
I was surprised that most of the people who had heard of the Average White Band, didn't know what they sang.
Several people, like me, thought they sang Play that Funky Music White Boy. They sang Cut the Cake...
The crowd was PACKED with wall-to-wall people. Would couldn't even see the band. And the walkways were filled too, so there was no way in or out. I guess Security lost control of the crowd.
We listened to some songs, split a burger at the Hard Rock Hotel, then took off for Rods place.
There, we were greeted with open arms. I love going over there. We can sit back and talk, and its the most personal experience I get here. These are my friends, which I have so few of and its so nice to be able to just ramble off conversation, and not have to filter what you say.
