Go Ask Alice

It was an odd evening here at The Compound last night. Odd in the fact that we could hear the Alice Cooper concert that was going on across the river at the Horsehoe Casino. The Compound is about a quarter of a mile from the Ohio River, and if you were to launch a boat at the boat docks just below us, you would only have to travel about two miles up river to get to the casino. Unfortunately for those of us in this part of the 'Ville that like to patronize Horsehoe, we have travel almost to downtown Louisville, cross over one of the bridges into southern Indiana and then backtrack to get to the casino. But I digress.

When they first started having the outdoor summer concerts at the casino, our neighbors told us that they could hear it. We scoffed at them and thought there's no way in hell you could hear music like that two miles away. But today I'm going up to their house and apologize for not believing them. I could hear the concert from inside the house, even. It started at 8:00 so I was pretty sure it would be over by the time I went to bed at 11:00, but just in case I put in my trusty ear plugs and went on to sleep.
