NuLu

Hope all is well. The semester is coming to a end and if you’re going to be in Louisville this summer this post might interest you. I went to an event called trolly hop a couple weekends ago and couldn’t believe how much fun I had. The First Friday Trolley Hop is an art show, tourist attraction, street party and celebration of downtown Louisville that brings new visitors and new life to the Main and Market streets. The Trolley Hop takes place on the first Friday of each month from 5-11pm, rain or shine. Most of the galleries close around 9 pm but the restaurants, clubs, and shops stay open later and the trolleys runs to about 11 pm. I went with a friend who was looking for art and ended up seeing a lot of old friends, cool art, free wine tastings, took funny photos, caught live music and had free food. This event takes place in a new part of town called “NuLu”. The East Market District, also referred to as NuLu, is now best known for its art galleries, specialty stores, antique shops and a growing number of local, upscale restaurants. The term “NuLu” is a portmanteau meaning “New Louisville”. As home to two LEED® certified commercial buildings, many historic restoration projects, as well as several restaurants offering organic and locally sourced ingredients, NuLu has emerged with a culture of sustainability.

Collegiate 100 6th Annual Pre Derby Gala

Hello beautiful people! Hope your week is going well, and you had a great weekend. This week I’m going to talk about my RSO, Collegiate 100, 6th annual Pre Derby Gala. This year the event is taking place at the PNC Club in Papa Johns Stadium at 8pm. It’s only one week left of classes, so I’m sure this Gala will be filled with energetic people. Collegiate 100 has brought exquisite and over the top Galas to the Univeristy of Louisville campus for the past six years. Collegiate 100 has had Frankie Beverly and maze, 112, J. Holiday to name a few performers in the past. I’m really excited this year because I’m ahead of the Gala committee and been planning this event for over two months. I think everything will fall in place and will be one of the most successful Galas we ever had. Also at our Pre Derby Gala we announce the next Miss Collegiate and reward her with a crown, sash, bouquet of roses, and a scholarship of $300. Miss Collegiate will serve the next school year and help out with events, community service, programming and more. If your interested in attending our Gala this year, tickets are only ten dollars and we’ll be in the SAC all week selling them. It will definitely be a night to remember!

National Champs!!!

Woot Woot!!! Congratulations to the Kentucky Wildcats on winning their eighth national championship Monday! Hey fellow bloggers, hope all is well and you had and excellent weekend like I had. Last time we talked I was preparing for and exciting matchup against UK and U of L. Unfortunately, U of L did not come out on top and UK moved on to the championship game verses Kansas. I thought U of L played a great game and showed up with the awesome defense. This was the first time UK has won a national championship since 1998 and the first ever for Coach Calipari. With all the adversity Coach Cal had to face, I am so glad he has a ring now. Kentucky pretty much led the whole game but had a little scared at the end of the game from a rally back of KU offense. The final score was KU- 59 and UK- 67 with Doron Lamb leading the way with 22 points. The phenom freshman Anothny Davis had only 6 points but led in every other category with 15 rebounds, 5 assist, 3 steals, and 6 blocks. This team has come so far and know the true diffention of team work. I could only wish they could stay together to dominate college basketball next year. I am sure everyone will put there self in the NBA lottey, but lets ponder on what if this team would stay together? Can we say dynasty! Have a great week fellow bloggers! Peace✌
