The university handed us a four-day weekend, so Butch and I made the most of it by doing nearly nothing. Well, we did drive up to Louisville on Friday night for the IBMA conference. Not because we love bluegrass, but because we wanted to see ol' Scott Atkinson, who was there selling magazine subscriptions to Sing Out. The best part was being able to watch the presidential debate on television inside a bourbon bar on the 25th floor of the Galt House Hotel overlooking the entire city of Louisville. Who won in the debate? We did! Thanks, Scott, for putting us up and buying us breakfast, and also thanks to Erika Brady (who must be psychic) for calling us just in time with the free passes.
