With Huntsville, AL in the rearview, I've got my sights set on the Derby Festiival Marathon in Louisville, KY. Kentucky is the birth place of bourbon, the mint julep, Kentucky Fried Chicken, and home to the Kentucky Derby. While technically a southern state, Louisville is at the top of the state straddling the good old Midwest. With Indiana being just a few miles away, I'll get a second chance at finding the coveted Zombie Dust by 3 Floyd's Brewery. 

Here are all of my favorite things of 2016 that don't have a place anywhere else.  Bacon is delicious.

My in depth review.

Bell Biv DeVoe, BBD, ABC, 123, I like cheese are back with their first album since 2001's BBD. I saw them at Yoshi's San Francisco (RIP SF location) on December 2010 with a live band. It was like I was transported back in time. They did all of their signature dance moves and had a very entertaining live show. Also, Poison, the song that everyone wanted to hear, sounded awesome with the opening snare drum fill played by an actual drummer.
