Kentucky Nearly Swallowed Us
It began with a phone call to one Edwin Kagin, I'd read an article about how his atheist organization was right nearby the Creation Museum. I was sold, so a few calls later we were on our way to Union, KY. Edwin and his wife Helen were two of the most interesting and amazing people we had ever met!
What was supposed to be a couple hour interview turned into a three or four day adventure, and by the time we left they were like family.
The Creation Museum was fascinating, though we may not agree with all that they said the museum was incredible - designed by an amusement park designer, and it did raise some interesting questions.
From Union we headed to Lexington where we stayed with Marceline and Mark who we met on Craigslist. They live in the historic Jessamine county and there we could have spent weeks filming the history and the people, very interesting stuff coming up.
We made it to Corbin just a few days ago to the Colonel Sanders museum which was very interesting and our guide Junior gave us a fantastic tour!
So much to do, so much footage to edit, where will we ever find the time!!!
yeow...
Is this trip a trip.
We've definitely bit off more than we can chew as far
as updating the site everyday.
Mainly because we're spending the days getting to know
the folks we're staying with... we're getting so much
video it's impossible to show it all here, so expect
some sorta DVD when we finnish this journey.
Below, please enjoy some photos and PLEASE subscribe to
the THREE subscriptions we offer - Radio, T.V. and the
written word.
In Little Rock, Ar. we spoke with the author of The
Devil's Knot - a book detailing the West Memphis Three
case. It seems it has also wrongly accused Mark Byers
of the murders. Lot's of controversy surrounding the
case - we went to Little Rock supporters and left
feeling the WM3 case had more to do with fame and
fortune rather than liberty and justice.
We stayed whit family over x-mas - it was great and
DuQuoin, Il. ain't that bad either.
Sabina, Oh - Santa and Bail for Jail go hand in hand.
Sabina, OH. is also the home to Eugene - a Dead fella
they kept on display for 33 years before
burial.
Amy has baked cookies at each house we've stayed at..
her cookies make smiles and that's really what livin is
about, right?
Happy New Year 2008 has Risen
It's been a busy few days, but we are now taking a little break in small town Ohio with an old friend and his family. More on that coming soon.
Louisville was a blast! After my housekeeper gig, I worked a gun show for the fellas at fastholster.com, they have this ingenius little invention, it is a magnetic strip that mounts anywhere in your home, business, or car -- you screw it in and your firearm can hang from it. This way it is out of sight - Mount it under a cabinet, behind your headboard, or high up in a closet, it is the ultimate home defense accessory. Did I mention it will never scratch your weapon?
After hawking the fast holster we got to visit the one, the only, the great Jeff Gaither, and we were allowed into his super secret studio to see where the magic happens. Jeff has been a fixture in the underground - and above ground too - art world for decades now. He's done work for The Accused, Guns & Roses, and Thge Misfits. Once you see his work, it is unmistakeable. Look for some great audio and video coming up from our visit.
We also toured Louisvilles most incredibale cemetary - Cave Hill Cemetary, it dates from before the civil war, and is the current home of fried chicken hero Colonel Sanders. We had some of the best coffee on earth at Highland Coffee - That Hair Raiser sure did the trick! And, we ate something called a Kentucky Hot Brown thanks to our beautiful hostess Kristina. Thank you!!!
We also had some pizza, okay we had a lot of pizza. Apparently, Louisville is a pizza town, so we had our own, very un-scientific pizza tasting, and the CLEAR WINNER was Clifton's on Frankfurt Ave. If you need pizza, and you are passing through Louisville that is THE spot for it! Look for a Clifton's video coming soon.
Overall, Louisville was a really great time and a great town. They are certainly on our list of maybes for a future homebase!
Also, I should mention, things have been such a whirlwind, we have not had the chance to even write about all the fun and excitment we have thus far encountered, there are videos as far back as Chicago that we just did not have the time to edit yet, and that is a shame. We are working hard to catch up on all this stuff, but between driving, and earning money, and trying to keep up with emails and editing, and podcasts and photos, and sharing 1 computer, we have had a tough time.
Thanks to everyone who has hosted us, who has fed us, and who have donated money. We thank you with our whole hearts for your help and support!
More to come....
Amy
