I just made this page.

We had a good turn out and real good response. This was part of Iraq Summer. We had rallies all over Ky. What you see here is the end of a 24 hour vigil. At the end we read off the names of the Kentucky dead. It was so sad. It was the first time I've cried in a long time.

5. I was handing them out on the street. People were popping their trunks

so I can put them in. I gave out about 20 that way. It was a heady experience.

Alfalfa, one of my favorite eateries.

8. You know, I've never actually eaten there.

I should probably check it out sometime, huh?

[alfredo]

10. You should Their soups are excellent.

Brunch features something called a Pancake Sandwich. It is two big whole wheat blueberry buckwheat pancakes. There's sausage between them. Butter and syrup is provided. Try the cinnamon coffee.

They've been around for over 30 years, and for good reason.

15. I love Natasha's.

Have you ever had their turkish coffee? It's fantastic.

[alfredo]

17. Yes. I've known Gene for a good 30 years. Natasha was a teacher in

the Ukraine. Gene was there looking for items for an earlier business when he met her.

He used to be a fixture at Alfalfa.

They are in full support of progressive causes.

Another progressive cafe is Third Street Stuff. That's right up Limestone from you.

19. I'm a Common Grounds flunkie, myself.

I know I need to check out Third Street, but I'd feel like I'm cheating on CG.

future location of Change For Kentucky meetings.

13. I was there today!!!

In fact, in the last picture, I'm the fellow in the background with the black t-shirt and Chuck Taylors... They had excellent speakers there, though I wish the crowd had been a bit bigger... The closing ceremony where we read the dead soldiers' names and ages was really touching...

[alfredo]

14. I was the guy behind the camera! Actually, I was the first person

to read a name and age.
