March 28, 2008
OK, peeps. I’m apologize for the lack of Lexington Project love lately. Hopefully this short Lex Pro will be a gateway back into the routine for me. Go to the Kentucky tomorrow morning and join Preserve Lexington’s efforts to present a sensible alternative to the Webb Bros development proposal. Sunday check out Poets for Peace at Al’s Bar. Thanks to Greg Abernathy (with an assist from Shande Tedder) for compiling the outdoor haps. The Picks will return in the next issue.
HEADS-UP! Save the date – SATURDAY, April 26th – FreeKY Fest - WRFL’s 20th Anniversary Celebration. FREE. All ages. Performances by The Apples In Stereo, Jolie Holland, The Coup, Mahjongg, Hair Police, The Health & Happiness Family Gospel Band, and tons more! More info in the next issue.
Hope you all are well.
Luv, Ross
