A quick link to a story for Culture and Travel magazine that hits the newsstands this month. It's a blurby overview of goings-on around the Prospect 1 Biennale art show.

I'm moving to Louisville, Kentucky next week. For a day job.
(Unlikely? Maybe. But I hope not. I got a buncha movers heading to my place in New Orleans come Monday.)

Should be taking up residence in the OTHER River City by late next week (22 Dec.)
