You may have noticed a difference between what you can buy on the Kentucky side of the river (essentially sparklers and noisemakers) versus what you can buy on the Indiana side (mortars that would put a Guerrilla insurrection to shame.) There's a huge difference between what's legal in each state. This is why I recommend all fireworks loving people visit their friends in Indiana for the 4th of July.

This was my third year visiting Kentucky's Highland Renaissance Festival. Being a costume loving geek, I've been to the ginormous Ohio Renaissance Festival north of Cincinnati plus Ren Faires in Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, and Georgia.

We're looking to make some improvements 'round these parts and need a Drupal programmer to help us with it. You: super knowledgeable about Drupal, responsive to our requests and ideally in the Louisville area.

My colleague Steve Coomes and I thought it would be cool to cover some Thunder Over Louisville special events, a chance to see how Thunder is experienced when you've got access to some of the bigger-ticket events

So he volunteered to take the Indiana side. I went for the first-class dinner at the Oakroom and the Louisville Ballet party on Main Street. I think I got the better deal.

My opinion on Thunder over Louisville, after umpteen trips downtown, is that it's a pretty good fireworks show, but an even better party.

Fortunately, I've seen it from about every vantage point you can imagine on the 'Ville side of the Ohio -- down amongst the masses in Waterfront Park, up in a skyscraper, on the ground at the Belvedere and, lately, from my couch far away from all that madness.
