Then we heard from a hometown gal who&#8217;s taking <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pioneerplayhouse.com\/\">Pioneer Playhouse<\/a> by storm this summer, and that got me thinking about my young chum <a href=\"http:\/\/www.xorph.com\/nb\/nb.cgi\/view\/uj\/2005\/08\/02\">Andrew<\/a>. Holly Henson, daughter of the Playhouse founder, gave her pitch about next year&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.raintreecountyfestival.com\/\">Raintree County 50th Anniversary Festival<\/a>. She made us realize that in 1956, it was the most expensive domestic motion picture ever made, and that 40% of it was shot in and around <a href=\"http:\/\/www.danvillekentucky.com\/index.php\">Danville\/Boyle County<\/a>. She made what I thought was an amusing remark&#8212; &#8220;What if 50 years later everyone had forgotten that the movie <span style=\"font-style: italic\">Titanic<\/span> was filmed at Herrington Lake?&#8221; Later in the afternoon, I had coffee with a rookie staff writer for the local newspaper to promote the &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/transportation.ky.gov\/planning\/bike_walk\/sharetheroadrally.asp\">Share the Road Rally<\/a>&#8221; in Frankfort next Saturday. I&#8217;m also in the process of raising the profile of the bicycling advocacy group that a few of us local cyclists have organized this year. We have some lofty goals, and decided it was time to &#8220;go public.&#8221; We&#8217;re committed to a long-term effort and agree it&#8217;s too late to put on the brakes now. We&#8217;ll press on and see what happens. After that, Dana and I cruised to Lexington for the Gallery Hop, grabbed dinner and a glass of wine at Alfalfa&#8217;s downtown eatery, and settled in for an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0420087\/\">Altman picture<\/a> at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.troubashow.com\/theater_info.htm \">State Theatre<\/a>.
