EXCITING NEWS CINCINNATI!!
LUSH is Coming Soon to Kenwood Towne Center!!!!!!!
I am so excited. Although a little wary because LUSH is expensive but oh, so fun. I like the solid shampoos and the bath bombs. My long-time wish is coming true! My very own LUSH right here in Cincinnati. Not 10 miles from my house.
www.LUSH.com
Lots of other good stuff coming to Kenwood. I saw a sign for The Body Shop. We all know about Nordstrom and Crate & Barrel. With all this so close, it will take me awhile to trek out to the new IKEA when it opens.
I might need to get a second job to keep up with all the great shopping that's coming!

MidPoint Music Festival
I just got back from MidPoint. http://www.mpmf.com/bands.php I'm home early I know. I went to the pre-party to hear Superdrag. http://www.superdrag.com/ What a fun band! Then I went to the Know Theatre wher the International bands are playing. As I was leaving The Exchange, Sean Rhiney, one of the founders of MidPoint, told me that one of the international bands called Vanderpark were really good and I should stay at the Know long enough to hear them. Lori and I got there before any shows started and there was a very low-key happy hour going on. Free Christian Moerlein 5th and Vine Ale. Nice! Sponsor ICB Audio was giving everyone glowing blue star necklaces to make the night even better. A little after 9:00 the first band got on stage and started playing. They were quite good. After the first song they announced "We are called Vanderpark and we're from Toronto, Ontario, Canada." Sean was right! Vanderpark is really good. http://www.vanderpark.com/ I even bought a CD on my way out and I don't usually buy CDs spur-of-the-moment.
I wish I could do a music review of these bands but I am just unable to do them justice. You'll just have to take my word for it.
Tomorrow I will be working at MidPoint all night long. I hope I get to hear some good bands.

The next two weeks are packed. I am not a morning person, or a late-night exerciser. Tell me, when am I supposed to go to the gym??
Tuesday 9/18: The only time available to both Alecia and I to buy party supplies for the CincyUpdate Oktoberfest kickoff on Friday. If I wasn't doing this, or if I had a clone, I would go to the Brueggeman Center at Xavier University for a talk by Fred Starr: Discussing Critical Issues Afghanistan and Greater Central Asia: An Unexpected Opportunity. Actually, I think I will have time to do both.
Wednesday 9/19: Golf class (yes, golf. I'm a lawyer after all, I should know something about that game) and Community Night at Kona Bistro benefiting the kitties at O'bryonville Animal Rescue. If it weren't for both of those, I would consider YPKC Community Council Happy Hour and meet some city council candidates.
Thursday 9/20: I have been wanting to go to a monthly Green Drinks (http://greendrinkscincy.blogspot.com/) meeting for many months now, but I never seem to make it. This Thursday there is a free International wine tasting and "networking" event at TQL (Total Quality Logistics). Although it is sort of invite-only, it seems that every YP group was invited to invite all their members, or even all their mailing list. I heard about it both from Club Red and Freedom YP. I need a clone so she could go to Night on the Serengeti at the Freedom Center to benefit Village Life Outreach. I should go to that! There's another Meet the Candidates forum, in case you missed yesterday's, but I'll have to miss both.
Friday 9/21: The CincyUpdate Unofficial Kickoff to Oktoberfest at The Pavilion in Mt. Adams! It should be a good time. If I had a clone, she would go to Tha Blast 12th Street Block Party, Fashion Show, and Indian Summer party. Whew!
Saturday 9/22: Nothing on my calendar! Wow! Just that it is Oktoberfest weekend so I will head downtown at some point. (Hey, maybe I could go to the gym today.) Check www.Cincyupdate.com for other happenings like the Johnny Cash tribute at Southgate House.
Sunday 9/23: My friend Michelle is having an afternoon wine tasting on her porch. I hope the weather is nice. There is not much else going on today except Oktoberfest.
Right, that's just this week. Next week is a little slower. Monday and Tuesday I have Cincinnati Bar Assoc. and Red Cross obligations. Both during the day, so maybe I will make it to yoga in the evening.
Wednesday 9/26 Golf class again! My clone would go to the tea tasting at Essencha Tea House in Oakley. It sounds interesting.
Thursday 9/27: Empty calendar! Yoga class! But wait. There is another candidate forum and today is the first day of MidPoint Music Festival. I'll have to check out the schedule at www.mpmf.com
Friday 9/28: I will be working the door, somewhere, for MidPoint. I had a great time last year at Guido's Corner Tap. The bar owners couldn't have been nicer or more supportive of the music.
Friday also marks the beginning of the 20/20 Art Festival. 20 days and 20 nights of Arts programming around town. Check out the schedule at http://www.20days20nights.com/index.php By the way, "the arts" includes making your own pizza at Dewey's. Yum!
If I wasn't going to be at MidPoint all night I would go to the Zoo's Best Garden Party and send my clone to the Cincinnati Parks Hiking Club Kickoff. All this stuff is listed on http://www.cincyupdate.com
Saturday 9/29: In the morning I'll be helping to build a playground with the Bar Association. Hopefully I'll have time for a nap in the afternoon because MidPoint continues, 20/20 continues, and we add the Downtown Hoparound! Downtown is going to be rockin' tonight!! But before that, I want to go to a World Affairs Council program with several visitors from around the world who are all involved in combating human trafficking. Then go out and party downtown.
Sunday 9/30: 20/20 continues (there are 18 more days of it) and The Downtown Tour of Living. I love peeking into the fabulous homes of cool people living downtown. I missed this the last two years, so I have to go this time. I heard some rumors about some super-secret Red Cup Society associate with this. What's that all about?
I haven't even looked into what's going on at Newport on the Levee or the Covington Arts District for these last two weeks of September. This is just the tip of the iceberg. These are just the things going on that interest me. It appears that October will be calmer, although there's the return of One World Wednesday on the 3rd and the Reggae Run on the 6th, Zoo Brews on the 11th (maybe Thane Maynard will let YOU hold a gator)...
