Livin' it up in Louisville

When you're told on Friday evening you have the opportunity to pack your bags and head to Louisville for some great brews and bourbons the following day, what do you do?  If you're me, you say, "Hell Yeah," pack up and get your game face on for some fun!  And that's just what I did last weekend.

I've made countless trips down I-65 in my time, but Kentucky is always a pass-through state for me.  I know Louisville only by the skyline view from the interstate.  It was pretty awesome to finally take an exit and venture into the city.

Though I heard about many fun shops and museums to check out, the sightseeing I chose consisted more of food and beverage than anything else.  It started out with a Louisville classic, the Hot Brown.  Recommended by a friend and affirmed by the locals, my adventure buddy and I set out for the Brown Hotel to get a Hot Brown.  I really didn't know exactly what I was in for.  I didn't read the description or look too hard at the picture, I just ordered it up.  What appeared in front of me was a stoneware skillet filled with a white sauce, tomatoes, bacon and a heap of other stuff I couldn't immediately identify.  All I knew was it came highly recommended and it had bacon so I had no worries about how it would taste.  One bite and I was hooked!

After filling up on the Hot Brown, it was off to Jack's Lounge for a taping of The Bourbon Lounge TV show.  I met some great local folks there including a lady in some fantastic derby attire, hat and all.  The hope was that there would be some bourbon sampling going on during or after the taping, but no such luck.

Let's see... what was next?  There really wasn't any big plan for the day so plans got made up as we went along.  Actually, we invented a very fun sightseeing game.  Let's call it GPS Roulette.  We found several places that sounded interesting, some recommended by locals, others we found by Googling around and entered the addresses of each place into a GPS.  When we were done at one place, we would pick another address on our list, never knowing which place it was.  There was a certain level of giddy excitement not knowing where the GPS lady's voice was going to lead us or what adventure was in store next.  I highly suggest trying out this game!

The next stop was the Louisville Water Tower.  I think there is some kind of art museum right there with it, but it was closed.  We had fun taking some pictures with it though.

Then it was on to a place that actually had adult beverages for us!  Apocalypse Brew Works is a fun little treasure nestled into a little corner of Louisville with libations with names like Fallout Dust and Nuclear Winter.  We weren't quite sure what to expect because this is a newer brewery, so even the locals weren't overly familiar with it.  The front of house area was really small, but had everything it needed.  They had ten brews on tap and we tasted them all!

After ten tastes and one full beer, it was back to playing GPS Roulette.  I thing the 13% alcohol brew I chose at Apocalypse did me good, because I recall giggling like an idiot at how fun it seemed to select the next address and not know where we were heading.  We ended up at a large, old brick building in a cute area of town.  The building had formerly been a church and is now a bar called Holy Grale.  A beer flight was consumed and we were back on the road.

Next stop, Against the Grain!  As soon as I heard there was a brewery called Against the Grain I knew I'd be buying a growler whether I liked the beer or not.  The brewery's name is also the name of one of my favorite Garth Brooks songs.  Amazingly enough, they had a beer that was my favorite of everything I'd tried that day.  We had another flight and a whole beer as well as some pulled pork nachos that were out of this world!

Hmmm... I'm trying to count up how many beers I had at least tasted at this point in the day...  21!!  How appropriate!

A trip was made back to the hotel to freshen up and park the car so the day could continue safely.  Luckily, the Hyatt Regency is right in the heart of downtown and within walking distance to a number of fun spots.

Stop #1 for the evening was the Maker's Mark Bourbon House & Lounge.  A little fun fact about me- I LOVE whisky.  However, I don't prefer bourbon.  But I figured,  "when in Rome!"  And luckily Maker's Mark makes a bourbon I greatly enjoy, Maker's Mark 46.  I sipped my beverage and we enjoyed the company of some other locals who filled us in on the hot spots around the area.  They even invited us to join them later in the evening and gave us some insight to avoid paying cover.

Food sounded like the right thing to head for after a lovely bourbon (and 21 beers from earlier).  A place called Gordon Biersch looked like a winner.  The food was outstanding!  Nuff said.  Oh, and I skipped the adult beverages this time.  ;-)

What a day!  So much had happened and I'd had so much fun.  I hated for it to end, but I was definitely ready to call it a day.  Heading back to the hotel, my adventure buddy (I hope he likes that title... it seems appropriate) reminded me of something we had discussed earlier in the day, a beverage called Drambuie.  It came up when I was talking about how I enjoy Jack Daniels Honey.  I'd heard of Drambuie on TV or in a movie, but never knew what it was.  We checked the hotel bar and discovered they had a bottle, so I had to experience it!  We had a great time sipping our Drambuie (I just like saying Drambuie) and chatting with some trade show attendees who were staying in the hotel.

All that in about 12 hours!  How's that for an adventure?

It's almost the weekend AGAIN!  I wonder what I can get into this time around?  Thanks for reading, friends!

Book Review - WILD by Cheryl Strayed

Wild From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail
by Cheryl Strayed

As some of you know, I LOVE reading books by female authors.  I love the perspective of a woman who some would refer to as being strong or fearless, though I'm not a big fan of the word "fearless."  I believe we all have fear in us and I also believe it is a great thing.  Without fear, no one would ever do anything great.  The thing about women I admire is that they are willing to push beyond the fear to fulfill a magnificent dream or to experience something great.

Cheryl Strayed's story of her hike on the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) is a wonderfully honest and deep look into a woman who has been through some tortuous experiences in her life, from an abusive father, to drugs, affairs, the death of her mother and so much more.  I  immediately felt a strong bond with her though we have had very different life experiences.  She brought her story to life in a way that I felt like I lived every moment with her.

Her hike on the PCT tested her in every possible way.  It broke down her body, tested her mentally and threw out some obstacles which caused even some of the most seasoned hikers to throw in the towel.  And yet, through it all, Cheryl pushed on and found hope and kindness in so many ways, from California all the way up to the last inches of northern Oregon.

Cheryl's brand of honesty is the thing I treasure and admire most in this book.  She bluntly shares intimately real details about both the ugliest and prettiest moments of the adventure that has been her life.  Wild is a truly fantastic account of the experiences of this very special woman, and is ultimately a story of hope.  The subtitle says it all, "From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail."  What an incredible story.

My Couchsurfing Adventure to Nashville

Oh dear.  Where to begin?  Well, if you haven't read the previous post from earlier today, be sure to give it a quick glance and get up to speed on couchsurfing before you read this one.  If you've already read it, I suggest you go grab your favorite beverage and settle in for story time.   

DAY ONE - FRIDAY

Friday after work, I got in the car and hit I-65 south.  As I started driving, I realized I was taking such easy breaths.  It was like I had been wound so tight for a while and didn't even know it.  But in the car heading for the place I really love to be, everything melted away and I began to truly relax.

I arrived at 8:15 pm at a two-story brick house.  I got my bags out of the car and rang the bell at the front door.  I was greeted by one of my host's teenage daughters.  She was so warm and welcoming.  Her dad was not yet home, so she gave him a call and found out he was just a couple of minutes away, on his way home.  She showed me where the bathroom was and up to the room I would be staying in.

My room was a bonus room on the second floor that had its own staircase.  It was the most perfect room I could imagine for my stay.  One entire wall was nothing but windows and bookcases.  There was a large log cabin style doll house, a sofa bed made up with a white comforter, a TV and three comfy looking armchairs. I put down my bags in the room and rejoined the young lady downstairs.

I found out she was participating in a prom dress swap the following morning along with
her sister who I'd not yet met. As she was filling me in on how the swap worked, her dad arrived and greeted me with a warm welcome and a hug. There are few things that compare to the welcoming feeling of a hug.  He seemed so genuinely pleased to have me there in his home. It was a wonderful feeling to be there and was made even more special by the genuine warmth from both daughter and father.

Shortly after my host arrived, his other daughter came downstairs and I was introduced to her. I was told both daughters are fantastic musicians, excelling in piano, guitar, ukulele and singing. I was shown around the house and told some history of other guests who have have stayed with them.

My host took me back up to my room to be sure he'd provided everything I needed.  When we went back downstairs, we found the girls amusing themselves. One sitting on the couch with a laptop and the other casually strumming the ukulele.  Before I knew it, my host had convinced his girls to sing and play for me. They sang a song by Fun called "Some Nights."  Their harmonies were so beautiful and their talent so magnificent it made tears fill my eyes immediately.  I felt like part of the family as I stood in awe of the beautiful music resonating from these fantastic young women.

If you're not familiar with the song, here it is.  Very cool!

After the girls performed a couple of pieces for us, my host and I went over to a local brewery down the street called Turtle Anarchy. Funny story... the reason he was not yet home when I arrived was that he was at Turtle Anarchy and got caught up talking with some friends.  When he was explaining to me why he was late, he told me he had been at a brewery and they had a special curry stout that night.  At that point I knew I had to try this unique concoction.  We made the quick drive over to the brewery and chatted, getting to know tidbits abut one another.

The brewery was a nice simple tasting room.  I ordered the sampler which consisted of seven small glasses of beer. One of the owners hung out with us as we enjoyed our beverages and told us more about each beer, about their brewery  their history, the brothers that run the brewery and his dreams for a future in digital animation. Their stouts were simply fantastic. There was a vanilla one that was better than cake. It was seriously like dessert. The curry stout was unique and something special in and of itself.

At one point in our conversation, the owner asked me how long I was in town and I told him I was leaving on Sunday.  He seemed to have a bit of inner turmoil for a moment and then explained to me they had a new stout in the preparation stages that would not be released for another week. It was aged in whiskey barrels.

He went behind the counter and consulted with his brother, then disappeared into the back.  Moments later, he returned with a half glass of this special brew for me! What an amazing thing to do! I have to say, I am really really thankful he let me try it early because it was outstanding!

My host and I returned home after the brewery excursion and he told me about some of the options for Saturday's adventures. He actually has a friend who he thought could potentially get us backstage at the Grand Ole Opry!  He checked on it before I got there and it isn't something his friend was able to help out with this time, but just the thought that he made an attempt for me before he ever met me was incredible.

I went to bed that night completely exhausted, but feeling a high from the love of the family in the house and the sheer joy of being in Tennessee.  Before I went to sleep I snapped a few pictures of my room.

Yes, Elton came with me.  We played with the dollhouse.

DAY TWO - SATURDAY

I woke up on Saturday so excited for what the day might hold.  I spent a bit of time in the comfy leather chair in my room reading and then ventured downstairs in my PJ's to find the girls packing up some breakfast for their prom dress swap.

My host planned to take me to an adorable little town called Leiper's Fork for breakfast.  What makes it even better, he took me there in his VW Beetle!  I was about to jump out of my skin with excitement that I got to ride around in this cute little thing.

The General Lee was on our way to Leiper's Fork!

Country Boy Restaurant in Leiper's Fork where we had a delicious breakfast! 

A little stage behind some of the buildings where concerts are sometimes held. My host told me he has seen Vince Gill and Michael McDonald play on this stage.

Beverly Hillbillies truck?  Absolutely awesome!

After breakfast and walking around Leiper's Fork we hopped back in the beetle and drove into Franklin.  We drove around town a bit and I saw the town square, the new police station, shops,  restaurants and got some inside scoop about a Starbucks where he's seen Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban before.  One of my favorite things in Franklin is a guy named Chip.  Chip is a Confederate soldier who stands atop the monument in the town square   When the monument was being erected, Chip's hat got broken.  And that's how he got his name.  Another fun fact, he faces East which is unique becuase most confederate statues face South with their asses to the North.  Chip faces East because that is the direction most visitors arrive from, so he is there to greet them.

My host next took me over to the Carter House.  We parked in a lot across the street and before he filled me in on the details of the Carter house, he took me in the Franklin Glassblowing Studio to meet his friend, Jose.  Jose was a very nice man who owns the shop.  The pieces for sale in the shop were absolutely stunning.  There was a class going on in there at the time, but we still had the opportunity to chat a bit with Jose and look around at all the pretties.

We left there and took a look at the Carter House.  We did not go in or take the tour because we were going to tour another property in a little while and a lot of the same information would be presented.  However, my host wanted to give me a bit of background on the Battle of Franklin.  The Battle of Franklin was the bloodiest five hours in the Civil War.  The Carter House was the Union command post and was right in the center of the battle.

The Carter House

After getting a history lesson about the Carter House and a visual idea of the way the troops came into the battle, we went to the Carnton Plantation.  I wish I could share the entire history lesson on this battle and the significance of the places we visited, but I'd probably get it half wrong and bore you to tears so I will try to just throw out some highlights.  If you ever get the opportunity to visit these places I highly recommend it though.  I'm not a huge history buff, but I was captivated by what happened in this city.

The Carnton Platation became the field hospital for the confederate army.  The confederate army took a massive, bloody beating in this battle and wounded/ dying soldiers were filling the house and the yard.  They used everything they could find to create operating tables to try to work on these men.  There were doors laid across saw horses and any other makeshift table they could fashion.  The damage was so great that they quickly ran out of bandages and the lady of the house shredded her husband's and her clothes to create more bandages.  At the time of the battle, there was carpet in almost every room.  Now many rooms have had the carpet removed and the wood floor that was beneath the carpet is there.  There are large stains soaked into the wood from the massive amounts of blood from the soldiers who laid on the floor.

Carnton Plantation

Finishing at Carnton,  we decided to grab some lunch and have a picnic at a winery.  We picked up chicken salad sandwiches at a nifty little market and then drove over to Arrington Vineyards, a winery owned by Kix Brooks of Brooks & Dunn.  Being the huge country fan that I am, I was really excited to go there.  We did a tasting of several of their wines and decided to buy a bottle of wine to go with our lunch.  We ate on the patio and watched as a snow flurry came through.

The next adventure we embarked on was a cruise on the Natchez Trace.  The Natchez Trace runs from Nashville to Natchez, MS.  There's plenty more history behind it, but I won't give you another history lesson just yet.  ;-)  It was an absolutely classic experience, rolling on the Natchez Trace in the Beetle.  You know, now that I'm thinking about it, I think this was earlier in the day.  Not that it matters to you.  I'm just thinking out loud.  

Bridge on the Natchez Trace

When the daytime activities were done we returned to the house for a little breather.   My host shared many photos with me of adventures he has had.  Then we both crashed out on the couch for a bit.  

I awoke when a pillow flew at me from the other side of the room and clobbered me.  It was absolutely hilarious.  I think mostly because my host was someone I'd only known for about 20 hours and we'd already become good enough friends for him to wake me with the throw of a pillow.  This is one of the highlights of couchsurfing.  Not only did I get to have some great experiences, but I truly made a new friend.

The evening was to be spent downtown Nashville.  We met up with a couple of his friends for a Nashville delicacy called "Hot Chicken."  I had never heard of this and my new friend seemed concerned about whether or not I could handle it.  I was warned about the intensity of the spices and about the type of place that serves it.  I was told the Opryland concierge would NEVER send anyone here.  Hot chicken is sold in little dives that you would never dream of setting foot inside unless a local took you there.  We went to one called Bolton's.  The building looked pretty seedy, there were misspelled words painted on the side of the building.  Inside the restaurant, well, I can't really describe it.  I wish I had a video.  Even then you might not believe it.  I ordered chicken on a stick and I ordered it "Hot."  I also ordered potato salad and macaroni and cheese.  Being someone who eats ghost pepper salsa and adds habaneros to lots of her cooking, I wasn't too concerned about being able to handle the heat.  

As we sat and waited for our food, I got to know my host's friends.  They were a very sweet couple who have been backpacking with my host several times.  The girl even thought to bring silverware for us.  (Does this give you a picture of the restaurant style?  When people think to bring their own silverware...) I was also warned not to touch my eyes if I touched the chicken because it would burn like nobody's business.

Hot chicken came out in styrofoam containers with napkins thrown right in the container and two slices of Wonder Bread.  Soda is served in cans.  I used my silverware that was so thoughtfully provided to cut a piece of my chicken and have my first taste of hot chicken.  It was really freaking good!  And really freaking hot.  By the end of the meal, my mouth was on fire.  The last three bites were a little hard to take, but I did it.  I finished all my hot chicken!  Making my mouth burn is quite a feat.  I was really impressed and will definitely be sure to get some hot chicken every time I go to Nashville from now on.

Nothin better than "Bak Beans" and "Pot Salad"

Hot Chicken!

We left Bolton's and went to a place in East Nashville called Jeni's for ice cream for dessert.  They had the most interesting ice cream flavors.  I tried things like sweet potato/ marshmallow and Yazoo Sue with Rosemary Bar Nuts before settling on the Whisky Pecan ice cream.  I'll tell you what, it was some tasty stuff!  And the cooling effects of it were great after the hot chicken.  

Leaving Jeni's, we said goodbye to the couple who'd joined us for mealtime and we headed to The Station Inn for an album release party.  The party was for a fantastic bluegrass act called Tina Adair Band.  Although the place was pretty packed when we arrived, we managed to meet a nice older couple who had a table right at the front and let us sit with them, so we were right up against the stage for the show.  There was something so exciting about being at an album release party in Nashville.  That's just epic!  My host told me about a number of celebrities he has spotted at The Station Inn in the past.  Though we didn't spot anyone famous while we were there, it was fun to glance around to see if I recognized anyone.  

After the first set at the party we left and headed over to Broadway.  Now this is the side of Nashville I know well.  Oh wait... before we hit Broadway, my new friend took me to Printer's Alley.  I'm not sure how I missed this little nook in all the times I've been to Nashville, but this was the first time I'd been there.  We went to a karaoke bar and watched some talented and some untalented people take the stage.  Then we headed down to Broadway.

I picked the bar this time.  We went to Layla's Bluegrass Inn.  A personal favorite of mine.  The performers were great.  By the time we left, my ears were pounding and I felt like I would have no voice left from singing along with every song.  It was there that I learned a new song which I am now obsessed with.  It is a song called Wagon Wheel by Old Crow Medicine Show.  It's really catchy and fun to sing along with.  Check it out.  You won't be disappointed.  

The final bit of crazy cool fun was a street performer who sits and plays drums and raps what he sees.  We watched him for several minutes and he continuously rapped about every person that walked by.  It was awesome how fast his mind worked and how he never seemed to get tired.

And we went home and crashed.

DAY THREE - SUNDAY

Amazingly enough, after being out so late and having such a busy day on Saturday  we managed to get up and ready in time to make the first church service.  When I rolled out of bed and came downstairs my friend had coffee already made.  

His church was fantastic.  Especially the worship team.  One great thing about being in the Nashville area is there is no shortage of musical talent.  In fact, some famous Christian artists are worship leaders at this church.  They were not there when I was there, but it's still really cool.  The service was great as well.

Since I had to leave in the afternoon, we decided to spend the day touring Franklin.  We went to brunch at a Cajun place called 55 South.  I had some breakfast tacos that were downright scrumptious.  

We walked down the street to the historic Franklin Theater.  They hold concerts, live theater productions, and show movies in there.  It wasn't open yet, but there was a guy in the window, so my friend asked if we might be able to come inside and look around.  To my surprise and delight, he was very agreeable.  Not only did he let us in, but he took us on a full tour of the beautiful building.  We went backstage, up to the green room, into the projection booth and all over every nook and cranny of the theater.  He really went above and beyond for us which was amazing.

We walked around town, window shopped a bit and every now and then I would get some fun facts about the city and its history.

The next stop was at The Factory.  This is an old Magic Chef factory that used to manufacture stoves.  It was restored with incredible vision and turned into boutique shops, offices, event spaces and a theater.  I was also introduced to a guy named Rusty there.  He is pretty cool.  He is made of all sorts of industrial materials and tools.  He even has internal organs like kidneys and a liver.  And yes, he has a penis too!  You know I had to look!

Rusty and me

After the factory we went back to a bit more Civil War sightseeing.  We went up to Fort Granger which was the Union Fort.  It has a nice little hiking trail around the perimeter, so we walked it and looked out over the city the way they would have during the war.  It's funny because the Confederate sites are all covered in signs, monuments and flags.  Meanwhile, the union sites barely even have a plaque.  Although they lost the war, the south takes great care to keep their history very visible.

Fort Granger

We went from there to Winstead Hill which was the command post for the confederate general.  We were able to look back to where we had just come from and imagine what they saw so many years ago and get a visual grasp on how everything went down during the Battle of Franklin.

That was our final stop before heading back to the house.  We took some fun pictures at the house to post on couchsurfing.org and cap off the awesome weekend we had.  Then we loaded up my car and I headed back to Indy.

The whole crazy whirlwind of fun was something I will remember for the rest of my life.  I'm so thankful for my new friend and his incredible hospitality.  I foresee some future adventures with him for sure!  I'll keep y'all posted!  

Couchsurfing (Part One)

I just had the most spontaneous, action-packed, fun-filled weekend getaway ever!  And I did it as a couchsurfer.

Last week, I decided it was time to get healthy dose of my favorite city, Nashville.  It's such a great city and it always feels like home.  I was thinking about heading down on Friday after work and considering where I might stay.  Then I remembered something I had learned about in college called couchsurfing.  Couchsurfing is a way of finding a place to stay, meeting new people and sharing experiences.

I got on couchsurfing.org and searched for hosts in Nashville and found an abundance of potential hosts.  I started reading profile after profile, deciding who seemed safe, fun and like I would have something in common with them.  For those of you who are immediately jumping to the potential negatives of this form of tourism, let me throw out a couple of mind-easing tidbits.  The site is an incredible resource that offers piece of mind in many ways.  Some users have gone through a process to be verified for their identity and location.  All users have reviews if they have used the service as a surfer or a host, much like reviews on eBay.  You should check out the site.  It's really cool.  Everyone has a profile and you really get a good sense of who it is you are going to meet.

Garth Brooks sang, "I'll admit I tend to sing a different song.  Sometimes you just can't be afraid to wear a different hat.  If Columbus had complied this old world might still be flat.  Nothing ventured, nothing gained, sometimes you've got to go against the grain."

I kind of look at life that way, and I certainly look at couchsurfing that way.  Life is one big lesson in assessing risks vs. potential benefits.  When I found someone's profile who I assessed as being low-risk, with very high potential benefits  I sent a request to stay with him for the weekend.

A short bit after I sent the request I got an email telling me my request had been accepted and I got a note from my host with his address and phone number.

Lots more details on the the experiences of my super-fun, action-packed weekend to come in another blog post this evening.

My host and me being silly with Prince Charming.

Zoolala!

Many of the people in my world are in the events industry like I am.  Because we are all so accustomed to the lifestyle of the industry, it is easy to take for granted how many cool opportunities we get.  This morning I got a reminder from my BFF (yes, I use the term BFF).  She  lives in the suburbs of Chicago and she sent me a text saying she was going to a networking event in downtown Chicago today and that she feels like she's living my life for a day.  I got such a kick out of that.  It was a great reminder of how unique my industry is.  Though I enjoy going to and being a part of so many events, I do take them for granted.  To many people, each one of those events would be a really big deal or at least a super cool reason to get out of the office.  To me, it is the norm.

It's common for me to go to luncheons, networking events, restaurant and venue openings... and on and on.  I regularly get to eat extra delicious food from caterers and restaurants.  Cocktails are often involved as well.  In fact, just yesterday I was at a luncheon for wedding professionals that was held at Indianapolis's newest hotel, The Alexander.  There was wine and a champagne toast followed by a scrumptious meal.

I also must not forget to mention the event industry in Indianapolis allows for great friendships.  In most industries, a networking event calls for a suit and a lot of handshaking.  For us, you wear whatever suits your style and your greetings are typically hugs.  By and large, we are all truly friends.  We know what is going on in everyone's lives, the names of their kids and pets and lots of other fun facts.  It's kind of like a big family.

So in the spirit of being thankful for the fun and friendships I get to have as a result of my career, I want to share an event with you that I got to help with and attend last weekend.

Zoolala is a fundraising event geared toward young professionals and supporting the Indianapolis Zoo.  This was the first year for the event so there was a great deal of excitement surrounding it.  Being that the attendees were largely under 30, it was a very fun crowd for a fundraising event.

The day prior to the event, I had a crew of people bring in some items from our company and begin setting up.  One of the unique opportunities my job often offers is spending time at venues that are closed to the public while we set up.  In this case, it was the dolphin dome.  During setup, our staff and a few others were the only ones in there.  Although we were busy busy busy, it was really cool to have the opportunity to have the dolphins all to ourselves.  One of the guys working on the setup was putting vinyl logos on the glass of the dome and the dolphins found very it very interesting.  He also discovered they would do little tricks when he put his tape measure against the glass.  What a special experience to have the attention of the dolphins for a few moments.

The event itself was so much fun.  There was great entertainment, plenty of booze and the venue looked amazing!

Here are some highlight photos!

Taking a little break from standing in our heels before the event.
