Pet Milk kicked off Saturday night in Lexington at ArtsPlace. It was shoulder to shoulder with people reading their books filled with poems and short stories as they viewed all the great artwork that was inspired by it. The night included music, cookies and what else Milk, fantastic art, and a very creative group of people. Pet Milk proves we need this more in Lexington. The interest and talent is here. Above is just a small peek at the crowd, the cool book and CD they handed out at the door plus check out the killer rabbit admission stamps. Just wish I would of picked up the very cool poster printer by Cricket Press. Congrats Kelli on a great event, we are looking forward to the next one. Read more about Pet Milk here.

Today’s Lexington Flickr Find was shot by Rebecca Higgins. You see night shots at the fair pretty often but this one really stood out. Very Cool, good work. Also check out her Lexington Fire photos.

This weekend will be a defining moment in Lexington’s entertainment history. Friday night the gritty little downtown pool hall, Buster’s will be closing. Sunday thier neighbors will follow suit. The Dame, by far the best music venue in town, will have one final show. If you’re sorry to see them go, let them know. If you’ve never experienced either of these adored establishments, stop by before it’s too late.

Thanks Haylcron for the photo!
