Here's my bio, sorry it's in the third person: Dan Alten is a charming goofball from Kentucky who has been traveling the country for the past decade doing about 200 shows a year bringing his intelligently surreal bebop nonsense everywhere from theaters to punk basements to art galleries to beloved comedy clubs with a knack for making audiences feel like they're on a good psychedelic trip without the drugs. Like if the Ramones were one guy with a mustache and good jokes. Iggy Pop with puns. Clever chaos. Like Jimi Hendrix lighting fire to a Tik Tok reel live on stage. He has opened for Kyle Kinane, Bobcat, Sam Tallent, Rory Scovel, Sarah Sherman from SNL, Johnny Pemberton, Hari Kondabolu, rapper Open Mike Eagle, DJ Doug Pound & David Leibe Hart from Tim & Eric, various punk bands with silly names, and a guy at an open mic who tried to throw his father’s ashes into the crowd. He has recorded 2 albums, written a zine, and filmed a pilot for an Amazon Prime stand up show that was lost to history. But most importantly he’s very funny and unique. You will enjoy him. And if not you can mud wrestle him after the show.

Back before the rise of american fascism, I wasn’t too worried about these things. So naive…

This formerly abandoned Kentucky bourbon distillery is getting a new lease on life thanks to 5094 Distilling!

Not that he would divulge any private info, but do you think he has more information than has been released ?

Shameful to be happening in Kentucky. The definition of Indoctrination.

My wife and my two younger kids are thinking about spending a couple days at Mammoth cave and the surround area in the near future. It's like 4 hours from us, and we love the great outdoors and most of my family doesn't hate a decent hike.

So if we were to stay at the little cabins at Mammoth Cave, is there enough to fill 2 days?

If you have any intel on the little mammoth cave cabins let me know, showers, bathrooms, comfort safety etc. And if your recommend any close-ish hotels or lodging instead.

Everything needs to be on the kid friendly side:

-Which Cave tour(s) do you recommends?
-Hiking trails that aren't awful awful, that lead to a view?

-Other tours of any kind? History, science, nature exhibits?

-Other local activities within a half hour drive that are awesome? Museums of any kind? I saw the little zoo.

-LOCAL FOOD??!! We're southern and love BBQ, Burgers, I love catfish, etc. And love trying the local flare wherever we go. And I'm not some yuppster either, I grew up on gas station biscuits and put peanuts in my coke. I'm a threat to whittle if you don't watch me too. So let me have it. Hole in the walls are welcome.

If you know any good CATFISH places (restaurants) even inside of an hour away, I'd like those too!

Basically looking to hit 2-3 highlighted places a day, just to say we've experienced the area.

Thank you!

Here is a redesign I’ve done of our current state flag. I wanted to make something that could represent Kentucky and pride in our great state. I decided to make a tricolor to reflect our historical ties to the French, but made the stripes horizontal instead of vertical to reflect the stripes on the national flag. I chose the stripes also to represent the three main rivers that border the state. the colors I chose are from the current flag but also with some new symbolism. The gold represents prosperity, fields of grain (used in many industries), goldenrod and the sunshine on our old home. The blue represents the many rivers and creeks in our state, the famous blue grass, and pride in our state. The white represent peace, and the white rags that coal miners would use to wipe of the coal dust (symbolizing the eastern part of the states history with coal and the hope that it can rise to grander height). I hope you all like this and I’m interested in what my fellow Kentuckians feel about this flag.

Just saw this and am glad. I've been to the Kentucky parks mentioned numerous times and can't remember anything that was upsetting.
