I had a novel idea when I was out choosing my review beer for this week. I was at Old Town Wine & Spirits yesterday (and I totally ousted some dude named Steven Greenleaf as the Mayor on Foursquare...but I digress) and I saw a bottle of New Albanian Solidarity Baltic Porter in the cooler. The idea immediately came to me that I would buy this 22oz bottle, bring it to

Barkstown Road pet boutique grand opening!
Start date:
End date:
(All Day)
While you’re strolling down Bardstown Road celebrating St. Patty’s day, stop in for the grand opening of new pet mecca Barkstown Road.
It’s a stylish one-stop shop for your dog and cat needs and wants, from food and collars to wildly durable chewable hippos and petal pink parkas. There is also a washing and grooming station!
The boutique’s grand opening will span Thursday, March 15 through Sunday, March 18. Hours are 11:30 a.m. Thursday and Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday.
In addition to browsing the eco-friendly, affordable, and mostly American-made merchandise, two and four-legged guests can enjoy a variety of grand-opening perks.
Free lime-green gifts including litter scoops, food clips and Frisbees, will be given away with every purchase. Plus, dogs and their people will receive free munchies, Red Hot Roasters coffee and the chance to buy some savory grub from Moe-licious BBQ’s food truck, which will be on the premises.
Barkstown Road’s courtyard, named Otto & Ruby’s Watering Hole, in honor of the owner’s dogs, will also be open for lounging and playing. The Watering Hole features comfy lawn furniture and a doggie drinking fountain.
Barkstown Road is the pet project of Kentucky native and animal ally Kim Boyle. Kim and her sister Aimee are the founders of Ferdinand’s Ball, a Derby party in its third year that benefits Old Friends, a farm in Georgetown, KY where thoroughbreds finished with their careers can relax, run and do what they please without fear of being slaughtered or sold.
With Barkstown Road, Kim wants to bring fun, fashionable pet products to Louisvillians, without the Paris Hilton prices.
“I’m not trying to be the Beverly Hills pet boutique. I wanted there to be both fun and practical items in the store that I would have been able to afford as a grad student while still maintaining a level of quality, durability and uniqueness,” she said. “There are a lot of people out there who want to provide the best products for their pets but simply can't afford it.”
You don’t have to wait until the grand opening to sample a selection of the boutique’s reasonably priced products. Barkstownroad.com is already open for business.
Boyle’s own dogs, Otto and Ruby, helped inform her choice of merchandise.
“I'm an owner of big dogs, so instead of focusing solely on cutesy items for little doggies--which I of course love too!-- there are lots of cutesy items and even apparel for dogs of all sizes. We don't discriminate. Everyone deserves to look cute! We also have lots of fun stuff for cats too! “
Kitty products include Extreme Cat Nip Leaf in a sparkly red bag ($2.50) Zuke’s Natural Purrz cat treats ($4), which help benefit pet cancer research, and quality toys like the Fling Ama String ($29.99), an award-winning battery operated string-flinging machine praised by Cat Fancy and numerous other pet organizations and publications.
Barkstown Road also can satisfy your pet food and health product needs, with brands like Orijen, a human-grade pet food made from fresh ingredients, and a simple water additive that cleans plaque and tartar off your pet’s teeth.
Kim also intends to make Barkstown Road a hub of pet events. Shortly after the opening, we plan to pay tribute to our political system with a pet election: Dogs against cats. There will be primaries and you can participate through social media and at the store. More details to come.
Also coming up are dog and owner yoga classes, animal adoption drives and a pet of the week contest.

FAMOUS hypnotist Rusty Z's PAJAMA PARTY!!!
Start date:
End date:
**PAJAMA PARTY**
(This special show with Rusty Z just might be the most entertaining
of the week! Everyone is encouraged to wear their favorite
sleep-wear! Snuggie, Lingerie, footed-zipups, long johns....just
don't come naked!)
You and your friends are about to see, and possibly do, things you never imagined.
When the cheesy lounge music starts and RUSTY Z takes the stage in beret and paisley smoking jacket, you know you're in for an unusual night's entertainment.
Comedy Hypnotist Rusty Z, The HypnotiComic™,is one of the few real deal hypnotist / comedians in the business.(He's been featured on both A&E and Comedy Central.)
So, instead of the usual canned hypnosis demonstration that a magician, DJ or hypnotherapist-turned-stage-hypnotist dishes out, you're about to be a part of a screamingly funny “hypnosis party” that will keep you laffing all nite.
Bring your funnybone and an open mind and you'll be a believer before the night ends. And don't worry, it won't hurt a bit.
Visit Rusty Z's Website

The Three Hypnoticomic Guarantees
1. You can only be hypnotized voluntarily. If it worked the other way Rusty would be living in a castle in Vegas.
2. You won't do anything under hypnosis you wouldn't normally do after a couple of drinks. We'll let you draw your own line there.
3. Whether onstage or off, you're going to have an outrageous time!

Drive By Truckers weigh in at Headliners [music]
To kick off the show, the Drive By Truckers brought along an amazing artist, the one and only Nikki Lane, a self-proclaimed indie-country musician. She has a unique sound, something like a 2012 version of Loretta Lynn with a dash of Merle Haggard on the side. Nikki and her band took the stage for over an hour, featuring songs about new beginnings and reuniting with that special someone in "Gone Gone Gone" and "Coming Home to You."
