The WHY Louisville Blog has moved!

Our blog has a new home at WHYLouisville.com! It's nestled warmly in our shiny new website. Head over to WHYLouisville.com to check it out!

We'll leave the good ol' Blogger blog online for posterity's sake, but be sure to check out WHYLouisville.com for the new product highlights and humorous witticisms you've come to tolerate here on this site.

Attractions & Oddities

All of the strange and wonderful things you find at WHY Louisville now have their own home on the Web. Check out our new Attractions & Oddities page to learn more about The Bearwolf, our spinning Wheel of Awesome, the Mysterious Half Door, and other fun WHY Louisville-isms.

You-Doo Dolls

Got an inkjet printer and an insatiable blood vendetta against someone who's inconveniently filed a restraining order against you?

No? Just us?

Regardless, anyone can enjoy a You-Doo Doll from Noted LLC. It's a whole kit for creating a Voodoo doll of virtually anyone. The kit includes an inkjet iron-on transfer sheet and doll-sized shirt, skirt, and pants.

As you can see, we've taken the liberty of Voodooing Tricia and Jonathan. Go ahead and right-click their picture and "save-as" to magically transfer Tricia and Jonathan into your computer where they'll have to battle a Tron-esque super-villain in order to escape.

Stay Classy, Louisville

You've come to know and love WHY Louisville as the place to get a ridiculous, or adorable, or ridiculously adorable T-shirt. But sometimes your in-laws come over for dinner. You have to throw that T-shirt in the closet and put on something a little fancier. Something you might even use a clothes hanger for. There's no need to head to the Mall-o-Plex just yet. We've still got you covered.



Fleur-de-Lis Polo Tee
It'll work on the golf course. Or in da club. Or anywhere else you may be apt to wear a polo shirt. Printed on 100% cotton American Apparel brand polo tees.



Fleur-de-Lis Leisure Dress
There's nothing classier than a Louisville lady in a leisure dress. Printed on 100% combed cotton American Apparel brand leisure dresses.

Five Year Anniversary Wrap-up

We had a blast this past weekend celebrating five years of WHY Louisville-ness. Between the celebrities, the free T-shirts, and the unveiling of our new sidewalk sign, there was hardly enough Saturday to contain all of the fun!

Here's a little taste of what you were missing if you couldn't make it down. Check out even more photos on our Facebook page. A big, big thanks to John Wurth at Hatch Creative for the excellent photography.

It's our birthday!

Did you know that WHY Louisville is turning five years old? That's, like, ancient in Bearwolf years. We'll be celebrating the occasion on June 19 with some great birthday party treats:

• Live Appearances by The Bearwolf, Abraham Lincoln, and Colonel Sanders
• A free T-shirt giveaway with purchases over $15
• Public unveiling of our new carnival cutout sign (illustrated by Col. JD Wilkes of The Legendary Shack*Shakers)
• Fun, games, surprises, What-Have-You!

Celebrations will be going on all day, and live appearances will be from 1:00 to 2:00. Come on down to 1583 Bardstown Road on June 19 to see what all the fuss is about!
