64°F12:08 PM The Kentucky Waterways Alliance presents the Wild and Scenic Film Festival [Movies]
We have come a long way since Al Gore’s controversial documentary “An Inconvenient Truth.” Since then, the reality of Global Warming has become largely accepted (although, bafflingly, there are still a few naysayers) and “Green” has become chic. Recent years have seen a spat of environmentally-themed documentaries, from the Oscar-nominated “Gasland” (a fantastic film, by the way) to movies with local connections (see: “FLOW: For Love of Water” and “Carbon Nation”).

Cake sucks up to the audience at Forecastle Festival. We love them for it. [Music]
I love a band that sucks up to the audience.
Hey, it’s hot out here. We’re all sticky - and not in a fun way. I’ve been propositioned by a Na’vi, flashed by a guy in a Utilikilt, and had a small army on docked boats spray me with waterguns. Actually, that last part was pretty nice.
However, you have to love a band that keeps telling the audience, "Listen to you! All your beautiful voices. Getting louder, beautiful voices, getting louder - yes!"

Recently, Brunton and her husband noticed large whiskey jugs on the corner of Texas and Burnett and used their own funds to plant shrubs and flowers. The support in form of honks from passersby gave Brunton the idea to continue beautifying the neighborhood.
