74°F10:40 PM New Albany Public Library launches Teen Summer Reading Club today [Books]
Kids these days…the young whippersnappers of this new millennium bring my tired, old blood to boiling faster than a 4g network (which, according to commercials, is fleeter than many other typically swift things). In my day we respected semi-colons; in my day we avoided ending sentences with prepositions; hell, in my day phones were actually used to call other people. Whoa, Nelly! But (intentional breakage of typical conjunction rules) even I admit that my pretentious lamentations over the state of 21st century literacy accomplish nothing whi
LiveWire ChampionShip Wrestling returns to the Charlestown Civic Center [Sports]
The opening match of Livewire's Championship Wrestling gave the crowd everything it was looking for as their good guy Mickey Muscle pinned Ravishing Ronnie, who is sponsored by Gatorade, with a top rope body slam. In the 2nd match, Jack O. Lantern came out against Landon Manson. As a twist to this; Manson, who plays a wrestler that is a little “nutty” introduced his new Manager, that in all actuality seemed to be just as much off his rocker, if not more than the wrestler himself, his “psychiatrist” Dr. Lucian Tomes. In that match Jack O.

The Hi-Tops: five talented teens in town [music]
The Hi-Tops, a five “girl” group of talented musicians have already realized local success in the Louisville market, and some in the California markets. Now they are ready for regional and even more, national acclaim. One thing is certain. They are in it for the right reason.

Literary Lawbreakers: Local author Frank Bill launches his first blazing book at Carmichael’s Bookstore [Books]
There has been a long held tradition of romanticizing the humid nights and fast horseflesh of this region’s fame. Front porch swings, voices like butter and maybe a little dash or two of bourbon in the sweet tea, have all leant themselves to the glossy pages of magazines and the pens of screenwriters to conjure up a syrupy, southern fantasy on the river. Put down your Mint Julep and prepare for a fearless blow to the literary gut. Frank Bill shatters all saccharine facades in his debut book Crimes in Southern Indiana: Stories. Carmichael’s B

Snoop Dogg at Horseshoe Casino [Music]
Calvin "Snoop Dogg" Broadus will be at Horseshoe Casino Thursday October 20, 2010 at 8 p.m. The last time I saw Snoop was on the Martha Stewart show. What? That's right. He was baking brownies with Martha Stewart. Later that same night, his "man cave" design was on the DIY network. That seems like a far cry from the Snoop Dogg I grew up hearing from the cars in my high school parking lot from friends who liked things a little more "gangsta".
