Good music, indie film, and good people – at Saint’s in St. Matthews.

It keeps rolling, though – I plan on taking Divinity Rising, the web video show to the Mighty Kindness (give a ) Hoot-enanny! If you’ve not made it to this heartwarming and exciting annual meet of music, arts, local organic farmers, healers and other awesome groups in our community, YOU SHOULD join me! It’s FREE, has KID STUFF, GREAT music, and some of the kindest hearts you’ll ever meet I’d like to ask some of you questions on camera – At Willow park  in Louisville, Kentucky – Check out http://www.mightykindness.org

Speaking of Diamonds,  are you ready?…. It’s a new home for Louisville Speak Easy!!!

And Speaking of the Speak Easy – it’s time for a NEW NAME!!!!!

There’s lots of reasons, but it’s an all around great opportunity to really give our gatherings a name that suit their magic, allure and sparkle

MONDAYS at Diamond’s Billiards, We’re kicking off Sub Rosa – The Gypsie Courtyard!!! Our gatherings at Carly Rae’s on Thursdays WILL continue (under the new name!)

We’re mixing it up with lots of new opportunities to celebrate local wandering hearts of art!!! I’ll be doing paid featured spots at BOTH locations, plus some other neat opportunities etc coming up

Come to the grand opening  May 11 ,  our first monthly showcase there! Let’s make it a huge deal and really start sending out some wonderfully awesome ripples in St. Matthews! I’ll have more on this next week!

And in June – Pick up a copy of The Highlander to read the article Danny O Day honored me with!

I hope that all of you are really enjoying your wanders of wonder….and with all this “Speaking of” let’s speak of wanderers. I’d like share my ode to wanderers. So many people get dogged on for being a wanderer – but would you play any game without first checking out your terrain, resources, strengths, and  collecting useful items? So, why is it a bad idea when playing the game of life?

What’s the good word? Give me at least ONE thing that is pretty awesome that has shown up in your life or that you have given yourself lately. How can you spread the contagious Kind Flu?

It is about beat poets and features local legend and internationally known poet/rebel/wild spirit man Ron Whitehead  and a video I made of Ron and one of his daughter, Rani Newman at the Louisville Speak Easy…

Check out Ron’s web site here.

It’s where all the hearts of art are hiding this summer!

IT is every Thursday at Carly Rae’s, starting at 8 pm. There is no cover charge!

Drink Specials: $2.50 margaritas or throw your name in the plateful of grateful for a chance to win the blind pig! Winner gets five drinks for $1 each.
