Back from a quick trip to Louisville KY to visit my buddy Karen. Lovely town. We ate lovely food at Lynn's Paradise Cafe. I had the Fried green tomato BLT. Yum yum yum! Honestly I didn't expect too much from this place b/c at first I thought the name wasn't too inspiring. I was so wrong! It is kitschy in the best sense of the word. So nifty that Martin and Karen agreed that if I had a restaurant it would look like this place.
We also purchased some Richard Cheese at a indie record store called Ear Xtacy. We also were hunting for ironic unicorns but alas, the ones I sought were not to be found.
We had wanted to witness some horse racing at Churchill Downs but that doesn't get going until the end of September. So we are planning a return trip!
We dragged Karen the Louisville Slugger museum, which she had already visited. It was pretty cool, but i can totally understand how it was not that cool if you have to go again and again. Martin bought a bat to fight off intruders and maybe play ball someday. Who knows. It's a lovely black bat. I've never seen him happier.
We also checked out the 21C Museum Hotel downtown. It had some creepy art, like a big red wig on a taxidermied turkey and then some really cool art like this big screen of words that showered down on you and you could stop them with your hand. It's hard to explain. They also had black toilet paper. There is very little wrong with a town that has a hotel this groovy.
