Kick my ass for March Madness

We've got our March Madness game going (printable bracket at the Real Rock Website) for gobs of fun Planet goodies, but if you want the extra thrill of knowing you're better at this stuff than I am, I'm in two free bracket games online: one at Yahoo ("HerdNation.com") and one at ESPN.com ("Fans of Marshall"). It's free to sign up (if you aren't already signed up), and if you want to razz me my bracket is very clearly marked. Let the games begin!

While I have this 100-degree fever, let's talk about Lexington

A fantastic place. It's like Huntington if it actually applied itself--big-ass skyscrapers, an indie-paper worth half a damn, and--oh yeah, a 22,000 seat arena.

Highlights:

--Reevis recommended a place called Raising Cane's, and I will recommend it as well if you're heading that way--it's a restaurant that serves NOTHING BUT CHICKEN FINGERS. Great sauce too, I can't put my finger on the recipe but I think it shares a few things in common with Big Mac Sauce. Also got my first taste of Krystal.

--The show itself? Pretty damn good. A few things I didn't mention when I was twittering like crazy:

• they serve wine at the concessions stand at Rupp--$5 a glass (cheaper than beer!)
• Seether's show was by far the best; I like the whole "speak softly, kick a lot of ass" thing
• I saw a house that had been turned into a Subway. No, really.

...while I'm pointing people to my Twitter page, add The Real Rock Twitter while you're at it. Seriously, this is addictive as hell.
