If heading out to see "Mamma Mia" on the big screen isn't your idea of a good time, then how about an adventure to Louisville, Kentucky? Your lady friend--or friends?--definitely won't want to go, so stay a few days and make it a mancation.
The point of the trip is the Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory. Since guys love baseball and jokes about hardwood, it's perfect.

Whenever celebrities converge on fancy-dress premieres, the rest of the world reads all about it the next day online or in next week's US Weekly. But the 9,000 lucky residents of Maysville, Kentucky won't have to wait to read the press coverage: They'll be able to see the stars for themselves when George Clooney descends upon the town bearing the reels of his new movie "Leatherheads." (Actually, he probably won't carry them to town himself.)
The film, which was shot in North and South Carolina, stars native Kentuckian Clooney--who also directed and co-wrote the film--as the manager of a new football league in the 1920s.
It co-stars John Krasinski as a promising player and Renee Zellweger as a saucy journalist. The film officially opens April 4--except for Maysville where it opens Monday night.

Flight attendant Sarah Mills of Atlantic Southeast Airlines, and airline owned by SkyWest and operated by Delta, was recently accused of drinking on the job at Kentucky's Blue Grass Airport, and it turns out parts of the incident were caught on airport security cameras.
Mills, who allegedly reeked of alcohol, admits she was thinking about punching people, and drops an F bomb when an officer takes her flight attendant ID.
That is my wings...I'm a f'ing flight attendant.
Then she thanks everyone for getting her f'ing fired.
Court records say a breath test found her blood alcohol level was .032 _ lower than Kentucky's legal limit of .08 to operate a motor vehicle. Lightweight. Is .032 even one mile high mojito worth of alcohol?
She pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Delta officials were forced to cancel the Sunday flight to Atlanta that Mills was scheduled to work on.

Set up along the Ohio River, the Abbey Road shindig is "the Greatest Beatle Tribute Festival In The World," which means while The Beatles (obviously) won't be playing, a bunch of bands that look and sound like them will. The three biggest days are Friday, Saturday and Sunday, when groups like "Lucy in the Sky," "Eight Days a Week" and "British Export" will be rehashing the golden days of Brit pop. To find out more about the bands--and we're not kidding about this--check out the festival's MySpace page.

The Blue Grass Airport in Lexington, Kentucky, isn't normally the kind of airfield we'd cover. True, it does have non-stops to Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas, New York and DC, but something about Lexington, KY, lacks that certain travel sex appeal.
Until of course we got on the horn with LEX's Executive Director Michael Gobb. Not only did he and his family meet the Queen of England when she passed through on her way to the Kentucky Derby, but had the queen wanted to check up on what we were saying about her and her doppelganger, it wouldn't have been a problem.
See, Blue Grass was the first airport in the country to offer high-speed, wireless access throughout the terminal. And it is today what it was then: free. Now that's the royal treatment.

Jeff Ruby, owner of restaurants in Cincinnati, Louisville, and Belterra, Indiana, has become a bit of a cult hero in Kentucky. Not because he served a great steak, but instead because he refused to serve O.J. Simpson at his surf and turf joint on derby eve.
Ruby said he found Simpson in the Churchhill room of his "Jeff Ruby's Louisville" steakhouse and told Simpson, "I'm not serving you."
After telling Simpson to leave, he said the former NFL football star was "classy" about it, rounded up his party and left.
Then, Ruby said, he went into the Churchill Room to be sure they were gone and people at other tables started standing. "They all got up and gave me a standing ovation, started applauding."
Sounds like the Courier-Journal may want to re-think their Jeff Ruby's restaurant review:
They're not quite perfect for romantic dining tête-à-tête, but Jeff Ruby's Louisville, an outpost of an idiosyncratic mini-chain of steakhouses based in Cincinnati, doesn't pretend to offer an intimate experience.
So if you are are looking for a steakhouse in Louisville, that is sure to be O.J. free, look no further.
