Five0Two totally stepped up their game with their newest featured artist. Ron Jasin has brought the awesomeness in a big way with his hand screen printed “I Love Louisville” poster. Did I mention it freaking glows in the dark? Well it does. It is, in a word, bad ass. Fine, that was two words, whatever.
I’m so pleased to tell you that I’ve got one copy of this 16″ x 20″ piece of awesomeness to give away. It’s two color silkscreen printed with Glow In The Dark Ink on 100# Cover Cougar White. It’s signed and numbered from a limited edition of 100.
To enter to win leave a comment telling me one thing you love about Louisville (you can be as specific (seitan parmesan panini at Ramsi’s) or as abstract (awesome place to raise a family) as you like.
I’ll choose a random winner from all entries received by 4PM Friday June 12, 2009.

I love all the amazing old buildings in Louisville!
June 11th, 2009 at 8:33 am
No matter where I have traveled abroad, I know the place I always want to come back to is Louisville!
June 11th, 2009 at 8:42 am
My favorite thing about the city is all of the great boutiques and shops–General Eccentric, Divas, Chartreuse especially!
June 11th, 2009 at 8:59 am
The history. The art. The Southern vibe.
June 11th, 2009 at 9:15 am
Bardstown Road. Enough said! =)
June 11th, 2009 at 9:25 am
I love the fact that driving down 64 (in the Highlands area) you can forget you are in a city because of all of the trees.
June 11th, 2009 at 9:36 am
I love that I can get just about anywhere I want to go within 20 minutes.
June 11th, 2009 at 9:37 am
I love, love, LOVE the beautiful buildings downtown.
I also really love how Louisville has such an artsy and diverse group of people.
I’ve lived here three years now and can’t think of anywhere I’d rather be.
June 11th, 2009 at 9:39 am
I love the feeling of walking around U of L’s campus on the first day of class. That and the funny smells that Old Louisville produces.
June 11th, 2009 at 9:45 am
Big enough that there’s always something to do (and something delicious to eat and drink!), but small enough you’ll run into people you know, or people who know people you know.
Also, I might be biased on these fronts, but I’m pretty proud of our theater community and our public radio stations!
June 11th, 2009 at 9:50 am
I love the West End. It has so much history and character.
June 11th, 2009 at 9:55 am
The coolest place I’ve ever transplanted to, and such is “home”. All kinds of people living comfortably together, fanatastic arts community, and more to do then I ever have time for. But picking/choosing is part of the fun.
June 11th, 2009 at 9:59 am
I love Carmichael’s Bookstore for their support of indie publishers and local authors, their cozy spaces, their amazing selection, and their knowledgeable and enthusiastic staff.
June 11th, 2009 at 10:00 am
I love that Louisville is a big town with a small town feel.
June 11th, 2009 at 10:01 am
Everything! I could move anywhere in the world, but I will always call Louisville “home.”
June 11th, 2009 at 10:03 am
I love Louisville because of everywhere I’ve been, Louisville is always home. Above all, living in Louisville in this stage of it’s development I feel like we are witnessing Louisville’s growth from a southern city, into something greater. Plus I always am for the underdog and Louisville will always be my scrappy little city that can!
June 11th, 2009 at 10:04 am
Aside from how beautiful the city is and the lovely people in it, I love local, Louisville music the most.
June 11th, 2009 at 10:08 am
Midnight burritos at La Bambas!
June 11th, 2009 at 10:09 am
I love how vibrant the Mom and Pop shop culture is here. Keep it local!
June 11th, 2009 at 10:12 am
I loved Baer Fabrics.
June 11th, 2009 at 10:15 am
the salumi plate at Proof. heaven on a wooden board.
June 11th, 2009 at 10:17 am
I love Cherokee Park!
June 11th, 2009 at 10:18 am
I love that, while we may talk and move a little slower than coastals, we get things done and do so with MANNERS.
June 11th, 2009 at 10:49 am
Always great music and a great big, little town!
June 11th, 2009 at 10:53 am
I love the neighborhoods, and that Louisville is big enough for there to be things to do, but small enough to actually know about them.
June 11th, 2009 at 10:57 am
The Louisville Zoo, Blue Dog Bakery, Heine Bros. Coffee, Carmichael’s Books, Asiatique, Preston Arts Supply (Gardiner Lane), The Bristol, Discoveries, Toast on Market, The Vogue Theater (gone now), Hawley-Cooke Booksellers (gone now), The Kentucky Center for the Arts.

By default, tea comes iced but not sweet.
June 11th, 2009 at 11:11 am
I love everything about Louisville!!!
June 11th, 2009 at 11:13 am
DERBY DERBY DERbY!!!
June 11th, 2009 at 11:29 am
I love the city as a whole, what is there not to love, Best metro park system in the country, best tasting water in the whole world, great people, awesome food talent, always something to do for all walks of life, whether your an outdoorsy type, an artsy type or someone in between. The river is wonderful.
I love that the first question asked by people you meet is “What school did you go to?” and they mean what High School. Louisville is also a Great place to raise a family, giving children exposure to a very diverse culture, in a relatively safe, low crime big city.
Again, what is the not to love about Louisville.
I Truly Love Louisville!
June 11th, 2009 at 11:30 am
I have watched the Derby since I was about 8 years old…watching everyone dressed up with the hats and all the pomp and circumstance wanting so badly to be here for it. My daughter also shares my love of horses and has watched the Derby with me. I had the opportunity to move here 5 years ago..actually the only job interviews I was getting came from Louisville after putting my resume out to the entire country…so I guess fate or karma brought my daughter and myself here. It has been an amazing 5 years…married with a now 3 year old and new family..great job…loved going to Derby it was just like I had expected even though my family told me it wouldn’t measure up to my fantasies. Louisville is my home now and I wouldn’t change a thing about it!! There is more to do than I can plan, so every year we get to do new things and explore new places here. Whats not to love!!!!
June 11th, 2009 at 12:01 pm
The thing I love most about Louisville…is that Louisville is the most Artistically Diverse City I have lived in…You can find free music & visual arts any day of the week…I LOVE LOUISVILLE…peace em
June 11th, 2009 at 12:07 pm
i love the variety of restaurants, from check’s to proof!
June 11th, 2009 at 12:23 pm
Frankfort Avenue, East Market Street, historic neighborhoods, coffee, bourbon, locally-owned businesses and the general attitude of Louisvillians
June 11th, 2009 at 2:07 pm
I love the Highlands and the diversity that is found here!
June 11th, 2009 at 3:46 pm
The parks system is amazing.
June 11th, 2009 at 5:55 pm
exploring trails in cherokee park
June 11th, 2009 at 5:59 pm
I moved here almost 2 years ago and love that everyone here is so friendly and passionate about the city.
June 11th, 2009 at 6:26 pm
I love the parks — Waterfront Park and the Olmsted parks!
June 11th, 2009 at 6:33 pm
I love all the festivals- there is always something fun going on in this town!
June 11th, 2009 at 6:45 pm
I love seeing that Krispy Kreme donut shop on Bardstown Road and knowing that that Highlands are just ahead. It’s like seeing the entrance to an amusement park and being glad that people are having some fun.
June 11th, 2009 at 8:22 pm
The people! You can talk to almost anyone anywhere in Louisville–they just give off a different, friendlier vibe than anywhere else I’ve ever been.
June 11th, 2009 at 10:17 pm
All the Sullivan graduate chefs that never leave
June 11th, 2009 at 10:24 pm
I love that Louisville is an art, restaurant, sport, and park-filled community. It has everything!
June 12th, 2009 at 5:02 am
I love that no one outside of Louisville knows how to say Louisville and is afraid to sometimes.
June 12th, 2009 at 12:06 pm
i love everything local about Louisville and how Louisvillians embrace the local and keep turning out more and more unique, awesome, native things.
June 12th, 2009 at 12:53 pm
I’ve arrived fairly recently from the coast, and always thought of myself as a mid-Atlantic dweller, but Louisville has been a pleasant surprise. it’s a compact enough city to get around by bike to many of the places worth getting to. I’m surprised by the cultural diversity. I’m impressed by finding several excellent pizza places, each of them with their own distinctive style. I love the Louisville Game Shop and Dak-Shin and Iroquois. It’s got much of a small-town feel in some places, without giving up the amenities and opportunities of a good-sized city.
June 13th, 2009 at 1:23 pm
I love Louisville for the flora hidden in its parks, the strange arrangements of streets that shouldn’t meet, its history it can’t and shouldn’t shake, and its pride in spite of it.
June 15th, 2009 at 11:34 am
I love that I can rave about Louisville to all my friends at college and when I bring them home with me, they tell me I was right!
