Ever since I heard about 21c on NPR during my morning commute to work last winter, I've been dying to check it out. Finally, in June, thanks to a combination of factors including J having an unheard of weekend off work and me being employed (whoo!) we're heading to Louisville (Louhvul?) Ky. for the weekend. A minibreak, if you will. And I couldn't be more excited...Really what makes 21c different from all other hotels is it's vast private art collection, amassed by owners Laura Lee Brown and Steve Wilson. This is modern art: crazy paintings of men caressing mannequins, conceptual films with accompanying dioramas. Red penguins everywhere. Modern art, like my favorite - the Hirshhorn - oh how I would love to work there...
Our agenda for the weekend:- leisurely, five hour drive from Huntsville to Louhvul with a potential stop in E-Town (as Mr. Addis calls it)
- if we can swing the work schedules, an organic wine dinner featuring french bistro food at 610 Magnolia
- perusing the downtown Louhvul art scene, including two(!) glassblowing workshops
- more eating, at Proof on Main, 21c's on site (and apparently fabulous) restaurant and wine bar
- troll the Urban Bourbon Trail
- music and dancing?
- and brunch. no vacation is complete with out at least one brunch.
Woohooo Friday!
