Hubble Coming to the Louisville Science Center IMAX

I’m not much of a space person. I never dreamed of being an astronaut when I was a kid and I think rich people who pay tons of money to someday go on a space flight are a little silly. That being said even I’m kind of geeked about the Hubble IMAX film that’s opening [...]

Car-Free Happy Hour: Tuesday March 16

A Night of Acoustic Euphoria at DCE March 4, 2010

“A Night of Acoustic Euphoria” is way more my speed than say a night of hard rock. We fans of what can occasionally (and affectionately) be called “sad bastard music” or “mellow and quiet” music are sometimes deprived in the live music category. We don’t really have a coffeehouse that specializes in singer-songwriter stuff (anyone [...]
