CentrePointe design granted approval in contentious meeting
Blue after they took over the North Limestone restaurant space formerly occupied by Giacomo’s. But a desire to make the space fit their wishes put plans on hold until late July.
The latest design of the longdiscussed CentrePointe project in the center of downtown Lexington was granted lukewarm approval by the Courthouse Area Design Review Board as the specter of the project falling through hung over the panel.
Alltech vying for convention center naming rights Nicholasville-based bio-tech company Alltech has confirmed it is one of two companies that submitted a proposal to the Lexington Center to buy the naming rights of the city’s convention center.

“This farming-focused alliance will position central Kentucky at the forefront of sustainable agriculture and aquaculture, arguably two of our world’s most significant challenges. The work being done on KSU’s campus will not only have global implications, but will contribute to the development of a knowledge-based economy and job creation locally. It will also demonstrate how we can use technology to support smallfarm agriculture in Kentucky,” Dr. Karl Dawson, chief scientific officer at Alltech, said in a release about the alliance. The Alltech-KSU Sustainable Farming Alliance will operate from the KSU campus and has been established for an initial period of three years, after which time extension may be considered. It will be managed by a committee of three Alltech scientists and four KSU faculty members, and chaired by Dr. Teferi Tsegaye, dean of KSU’s College of Agriculture, Food Science and Sustainable Systems. Projects and activities will be selected based on their scientific merit, socioeconomic value and the potential for commercialization of the results. Initial plans include the establishment of an annual conference to promote sustainable farming and agriculture. Alltech has signed research alliances with more than a dozen universities and institutes around the world, including the University of Kentucky and Kentucky State University in the United States; NOFIMA in Norway; five Chinese universities; Kochi University in Japan; Karnataka Veterinary, Animal and Fisheries Sciences University and Bangalore University in India; AgroSup Dijon in France; Harper Adams University in the United Kingdom; and Rivalea in Australia. A total of 18 research alliances are expected to be finalized by the end of the year.

Lexmark announces plans to buy European software company for $72 million in cash Lexmark International has signed an agreement to acquire Germany-based software developer Saperion for a cash purchase price of approximately $72 million. After the sale is complete, Saperion will report to Lexmark-owned Perceptive Software. The purchase is another in a line of acquisitions aimed at transitioning Lexmark from a company that makes printers to a document management company, leaning heavily on software to store and deliver documents without the use of paper except when necessary. In addition to having a multilingual struc-
ture, Saperion's platform can integrate with all major business software known as enterprise resource planning (ERP) as well as email and document management systems. Saperion has also developed cloud-based and mobile solutions to provide access to content, even when those trying to access documents are away from their offices. Saperion has a base of customers consisting of medium-sized companies as well as global accounts, such as Schindler, E.ON (the former owners of Kentucky Utilities), Fleurop, Henkel, Lufthansa, Vodafone, Daimler and Siemen, according to a release from Lexmark. “Lexmark continues to deepen and expand its content and process capabilities and solutions, which in turn improves our ability to help our customers manage their unstructured information challenges,” Lexmark's chairman and chief executive officer Paul Rooke said in the release.
A Lexmark stated that Tuesday’s announcement falls in line with the company’s plans “to pursue acquisitions that support growth and increase software and solutions capabilities, while returning more than 50 percent of free cash flow to shareholders, on average, through quarterly dividends and share repurchases.” This announcement follows March acquisitions of San Francisco-based Twistage and Seattle-based AccessVia, for a combined investment of approximately $31.5 million, and the January purchase of Acuo Technologies, LLC, a Minneapolis-based company that specializes in streamlining health-care imaging onto one system, for approximately $45 million in cash.
Lexington Named Kentucky’s eCity by Google Lexington is the winner of the first ever Google eCity Award for Kentucky. The Google eCity Award recognizes the strongest online business community in each state, what a release from Mayor Jim Gray's office calls “the digital capitals of America.” “This award proves what we all feel — there's a whole lot of digital innovation going on here in Lexington,” Gray said. Google partnered with independent research firm Ipsos to analyze the online strength of local small businesses in cities across the country. Scoring was based on company size, web and social media presence, and e-commerce capabilities. “We’re proud to recognize the growing entrepreneurial spirit of businesses in communities such as Lexington — and the role that spirit plays in both creating jobs and sustaining local economies,” said Scott Levitan, Google’s director of small business engagement. “With 97 percent of Internet users looking for products and services online, it’s clear that success is about being connected.” According to Levitan, businesses that make use of the web are growing twice as fast and creating twice as many jobs. Google hopes that the 2013 eCity Award winners will become an inspiration to other communities across the nation. For more information in the eCity initiative, visit www.google.com/ecities. BL

RJ Corman Railroad Group founder and owner dies after 12-year cancer fight
By Erik A. Carlson
BUSINESS LEXINGTON
R
ick Corman, 58, founder and owner of the Nicholasville-based RJ Corman Railroad Group, died Aug. 23, after a 12-year battle with multiple myeloma, an incurable form of cancer. Corman started the company in 1973 upon his graduation from high school as a railroad construction business. He later expanded to become a rail service provider that now operates in more than 21 states, according to the company’s website. There are divisions of the RJ Corman Railroad Group as far west as Arizona, and the company employs more than 1,000. “Mr. Corman will be remembered for his character, energy, determination, generosity and vision,” Craig King, RJ Corman Railroad CORMAN Group president, said in a release from the company. In January 2008, the company announced Corman had a reoccurrence of multiple myeloma that had first been spotted in 2001. Corman was under the treatment of doctors at the Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center in Boston, where he underwent stem cell and bone marrow treatment. He also formed the RJ Corman Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation at Harvard to raise funds to study and treat the disease. The RJ Corman Railroad Group provides services including railroad construction, maintenance, derailment services, distribution centers, material sales yards, the My Old Kentucky Dinner Train, the recently
launched RJ Corman Lexington Dinner Train, railpower-genset locomotives, shortline and switching operations, signaling engineering, design and construction and a storm response team. A 2011 Fortune Magazine article about Corman looked into how the rail empire he launched as a recent high school graduate would continue on after his death. “The legal answer is that a trust will take over ownership of the company,” the article by Carol Loomis stated. “It will exist for a nearunimaginable 200 years and is likely to have Dana-Farber as its ultimate beneficiary. A handful of trustees will run it — people that Rick knows well and indeed trusts — and they will be paid handsomely, probably dividing one-fifth of the company's pretax profits. That would be big money. But Rick expects the trustees (who could include some of his children) to devote all their might to preserving and building the company. And if they do that, the price will seem cheap to him.” It has been requested that donations be made in lieu of flowers to The Richard Corman Research Fund in Multiple Myeloma, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, PO Box 849168, Boston, MA 02284-9168.

His and Her Sexist Language CONTRIBUTING WRITER
I
n Washington state, you will no longer find a clergyman, a fisherman or a journeyman plumber. Nor will you run across a freshman, watchman or policeman. At least not in the state statutes. Last month, Washington became the fourth state to rid its laws of sexist language. More than 3,500 laws — and 40,000 words — had to be changed to render the statutes gender-neutral. The most common change was the word “his,” which was amended in all cases to read “his and her.” The state also replaced clergyman with clergy; fisherman with fisher; journeyman plumber with journey-level plumber; freshman with first-year student; and watchman with security guard. Even the word penmanship did not escape amendment. You’ll now find it under handwriting. Labeling penmanship sexist seems like a stretch to me, but it’s a good practice to avoid using genuinely sexist language. Why? On a subtle level, sexist language promotes discrimination. If CEOs are always referred to as

Indiv
he or him, girls learn that they don’t belong in a boardroom. Likewise, if nurses are always referred to as she, boys may consider nursing unmanly. Using sexist language also may alienate listeners and readers. If you happen to be talking to a roomful of CEOs, and you consistently use he to refer to them, the women in the audience are going to notice. Some of the men will too. And the speaker (whether man or woman) is likely to lose credibility. Avoiding sexist language isn’t that hard. We seem to have made a smooth transition from stewardesses to flight attendants, from firemen to firefighters. But not every “man”-based word can be de-gendered. For example, what do we do about manhole? Washington state left it alone. BL

Kentucky exports hit record high in first half of 2013
By Susan Baniak
BUSINESS LEXINGTON
W
hen Fash Asvadi launched the website for his Nicholasville, Ky.based business, Pizzaovens.com, in 1999, his intent was to serve a world of pizza-makers with no geographic limits. Despite the challenges of language barriers and bureaucratic red tape in international transactions, Asvadi has seen his niche company’s slice of the global market increase. In the early years, international clients represented less than 3 percent of total sales for Pizzaovens.com, which sells new and refurbished commercial pizza equipment. Today, exports account for almost 30 percent of the company’s business, and from Asvadi’s perspective, the exporting opportunities are just warming up. The South American market, in particular, is growing, he said, and he may be looking to add another employee to his current staff of 11 to accommodate it. “We are just beginning to scratch the surface,” he said. And Pizzaovens.com is not alone. Kentucky merchandise exports hit a record high of $12.1 billion in the first half of 2013, increasing 13 percent over the same period in 2012, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce’s International Trade Administration (ITA). “I’m just thrilled that Kentucky is on the upswing,” said Sara Melton Moreno, director of the U.S. Export Assistance Center in Lexington. “And we’re on track to have record exports again.” Several of Kentucky’s top export destination countries showed substantial increases in key industries for the state. Kentucky exports
to Saudi Arabia alone increased by 684 percent, to $389 million. Transportation equipment accounted for 85.1 percent of those exports, or roughly $331 million. Kentucky’s total exports to Germany in the first half of 2013 increased by 39 percent, with transportation equipment accounting for 28.6 percent of those exports. Other export destinations that showed significant gains included Hong Kong (33 percent), China (31 percent) and Austria (24 percent). Beyond transportation equipment, Kentucky’s key merchandise export categories included chemicals, machinery manufactures, computer and electronic products, and primary metal manufactures. Moreno works with large and small Kentucky businesses looking for exporting guidance and assistance in connecting with international buyers. Some want to incorporate exporting into their strategic plans for long-term business growth, while others are looking for simple logistical advice to fill an international order from the company’s website. Either way, Moreno said, her office is available to help. “If it has to do with exporting, we are going to be there and be supportive,” Moreno said. Asvadi said Lexington’s Export Assistance Center has been particularly useful in helping to legitimize Pizzaovens.com’s presence in the global market, especially for customers wary of investing large sums with an unknown small business located in another hemisphere. "I think the biggest hurdle, as far as being a small business goes, is trying to prove that you are a legitimate entity," Asvadi said.
Increasingly, Kentucky businesses are growing more comfortable with the idea of conducting business internationally, Moreno said, but they are still not looking to overextend. Most are content to enter one or two new markets at first, adding more under a manageable timeframe. “In a lot of ways, they are becoming less conservative, but they are still being careful,” Moreno said. In addition, the commercialization of research and development efforts at the state’s leading universities has shown promise for the state’s export potential in fields such as biotechnology, Moreno said. “Kentucky is starting to see some new and interesting businesses spring up,” Moreno said. “It is very interesting to see them emerge and almost off the bat become global players.” On the national level, United States merchandise exports hit a record $781 billion in the first six months of 2013, according to the ITA. Kentucky was one of 17 states that set record highs during that time period. Kentucky’s increase of roughly $1.4 billion was the fourth highest in dollar terms, behind Texas ($4.3 billion), Washington ($3.8 billion), and New York ($3.1 billion). But despite the recent record gains for the state, there is still a great deal of untapped opportunity in the global market for Kentucky companies, Moreno said. “There’s a lot of business to be done out there,” said Moreno, who noted that 95 percent of the world’s consumers live outside the United States. And for those that prefer to concentrate on domestic markets, Moreno said it is impor-
tant to remember that other companies increasingly are erasing those boundaries. “Their competition from overseas is already here,” Moreno said.

BookReview
Facebook COO digs into perplexing gender biases in the workplace By Paul Sanders COLUMNIST: BUSINESS BOOK REVIEWS
W
hen I shared with a female colleague of mine that I was writing a review of Sheryl Sandberg’s Lean In: Women, Work, And the Will to Lead, she asked a pointed question: would it be difficult for me as a man to review without bias a book about women in the workplace? The question stayed with me as I began reading this book by the COO of Facebook, which has been on the New York Times Best Sellers list for 20 weeks and counting. What I found was that Sandberg quickly answered the question for me. While the book is ostensibly about the lack of equality in the workplace, it’s really about subconscious biases — by both men and women. While women became 50 percent of college graduates in the United States in the early 1980s, only 21 of the Fortune 500 CEOs are women. Women hold 14 percent of executive officer positions and constitute 18 percent of our elected congressional officials. Pay inequity is striking. In 1970, working women in America were paid 59 cents for every dollar their male counterparts made. By 2010, that amount had been raised to only 77 cents for every dollar men made. While many Americans may attribute these facts to historical discrimination or a
glass ceiling that has now been cracked in most industries, Sandberg argues that this is not the case. In the past two decades, equity in the workforce has stalled. Sandberg digs for answers to this inequity by using two sets of tools: professional and personal. The book is packed with footnoted hard data and referenced studies. But it is the personal anecdotes recalling Sandberg’s own struggles in making choices regarding family and career that make the subject approachable and immediate. In doing so, Sandberg makes herself vulnerable, and “just like us.” This is a commendable stance (and ultimately a powerful one) for an individual who is ranked on Fortune’s list of 50 Most Powerful Women in Business and TIME’s 100 most Influential People in the World. Her personal anecdotes are enlightening. For example, she shares the story that two years after joining Facebook as COO, she was in New York for a meeting with a private equity firm. When the meeting broke, she asked the senior partner where the women’s restroom was. He had no idea. It appeared that she was the only woman ever to have come for a meeting during the man’s tenure. The conversations with her husband about sharing child care and other issues are similar to those taking place in most American homes with two working parents of small children. Sandberg shares her struggles in her
career advancement, particularly those related to raising a family. Sandberg presents a comprehensive review of why there is not equity in the workplace. There are indeed historic gender biases that favor men (for example, Sandberg admits to never having had a female boss). There are also many ways women limit themselves when making choices about careers. While we like to think that gender bias is part of the past, statistics show otherwise. A 2012 study found when identical resumes for a manager position were submitted from a male student and a female student, scientists of both sexes gave better marks to the male applicant. Though the applicants listed the same experience and qualifications, the female was judged less competent and offered a lower starting salary. Sandberg doesn’t hesitate to point out that women often hold themselves and other women back. “Often without realizing it, women internalize disparaging cultural attitudes and then echo them back,” she says. “Women are not just victims of sexism, they can also be perpetrators.” Sandberg calls for women to “lean in” and to empower themselves and others. She quotes former secretary of state Madeleine Albright, who once said, “There’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help other women.” The book does more than highlight an
often overlooked problem and explore its underlying causes. It is also filled with actual solutions and examples of how they have worked. Businesses and industries of all kinds have become increasingly committed to making a difference in this area. In addition, women are “leaning in” more and more to take on new roles. While the book acknowledges that women in the developed world are better off than ever, the goal of equality has not been reached. To move forward, both men and women have to understand our biases and agree to work through them. “We are a new generation,” the author writes, “and we need a new approach.” Sandberg’s book is a strong first step.

SEC makes it easier to advertise to accredited investors
By Brian Powers
CONTRIBUTING WRITER
T
he Securities and Exchange Commission adopted a new rule that, effective Sept. 23, will end the ban on general solicitation to accredited investors. General solicitation in this case refers to any contact with an investor where there was not a prior relationship of some kind. It includes any form of advertising to the general public, even one-on-one solicitations such as cold-calling. The SEC’s decision, made on July 10, is one of several provisions in the JOBS Act of 2012, designed to facilitate capital formation and will make access to potential investors easier. “In the past, if you engaged in public advertising of an offering, you must have registered [that offering] with the SEC,” said Thomas Rutledge, an attorney in the Louisville, Ky., office of Stoll Keenon Ogden. Rich Mains, an attorney in SKO’s Lexington office, described that registration process as “expensive and time-consuming.” The S-1 form required for such a registration can easily run hundreds of pages. Completed forms must include a narrative history of the company, which is a lengthy and onerous task to complete. “[To avoid registration] you could sell a lot of securities, but only to accredited people with whom you’ve had prior contact,” said Rutledge. “There has been, for many years, a safe harbor — Rule 506. If you jump through the hoops, registration is not required,” said Rutledge. Rule 506 previously allowed raising unlimited capital from an unlimited number of accredited investors and up to 35 non-accredited investors, as long as there was a mandatory disclosure and no general solicitation. Accredited investors are those who meet minimum standards of assets and income. If there are only accredited investors, there is no mandatory disclosure. The newly issued rules create a new exemption under Rule 506 that now allows for a general solicitation. Under the new rule 506(c), “provided you sell only to verified accredited investors, you can publicly advertise your offering,” Rutledge said. For instance, a manufacturing company in western Kentucky could advertise through several different channels that they are seeking accredited investors for a private offering. These advertisements could be as basic as a blurb on a website or as far-reaching as an ad in a national publication. Investors would then have to be verified by the offering promoters themselves as to their accredited status. “Obviously, this hugely opens up the pool of investors for any particular business,” said Rutledge. He noted that the pool of accredited investors is only about 3.5 percent of the population and is fairly dispersed, making general solicitation a far more efficient way for capital formation to take place. “It allows investors and companies that need to grow to speak to each other in a parallel track,” said Rutledge. The breadth of general solicitation can also be focused toward specific groups of investors. “For instance, say someone in Lexington has an idea for a new medical device. He could, with the new rules, send a letter to all doctors in the area, soliciting investors, where that was arguably prohibited in the past,” said Mains. While the rule against general solicitation was designed to protect investors against
fraudulent or misleading investments, accredited investors are likely more savvy. “These are people who have the business acumen to know what they’re investing in,” said Rutledge. “They’re people who don’t need the protection of the registration process.” While the new rules allowing general solicitation don’t contain any mandatory disclosure requirements, Rutledge and Mains suggested that all companies engaging in a general solicitation provide a disclosure document to protect against issues with the antifraud provisions of securities regulations. Companies are also still required to make a Form D filing with the SEC for any offerings, although this specific filing is negligible in com-
parison to the prior registration requirement. “It’s a short, fill-in-the-blank form. It’s not a narrative account,” Mains said. These new rules are part of a larger set of rules that will also open the door to equity crowdfunding. Crowdfunding, of course, relies heavily on general solicitation, although it will also open the door to non-accredited investors and will come with restrictions on the amounts of funds supporters can invest and promoters can solicit. It should, of course, be noted that this article greatly simplifies the regulations and issues at play, and any interested parties should consult counsel for greater detail on the new regulations. BL
Who is an accredited investor? Under Rule 501 of SEC Regulation D, a person qualifies as an accredited investor if he or she has either: • an individual net worth or joint net worth with a spouse that exceeds $1 million at the time of the purchase, excluding the value (and any related indebtedness) of a primary residence, or • an individual annual income that exceeded $200,000 in each of the two most recent years or a joint annual income with a spouse exceeding $300,000 for those years, and a reasonable expectation of the same income level in the current year. www.sec.gov/news/press/2013/2013-124-item1.htm

Getting a better handle on crowdfunding Kentucky group hopes to shorten the learning curve for investors as SEC irons out regulations By Brian Powers CONTRIBUTING WRITER
W
hen the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 passed, the Securities and Exchange Commission was given the task of promulgating rules to allow and promote the crowdfunding of equity (currently limited by law for non-accredited investors). The creatively titled portion of the law — the Capital Raising Online While Deterring Fraud and Unethical Non-Disclosure Act, or CROWDFUND Act — called for this rulemaking to take place within 270 days of the passing of the legislation, which would have been Dec. 31, 2012. So far, the SEC has yet to create all the necessary rules, but that hasn’t stopped one group from banding together to make the commonwealth receptive to equity crowdfunding when it finally clears regulatory hurdles. CommonWealth Crowdfunding formed early in 2013 with an eye toward educating the state at large on the forthcoming opportunities presented with equity crowdfunding. Its stated mission is to “support capital and job formation in the region by gaining knowledge of, and building awareness and support for, crowdfund investing,” according to the group’s general background statement. “We got interested in crowdfunding because we think it’s a very large and coming trend, and with the president signing the
JOBS Act in 2012, it opened the door for a very large pool of participation in early-stage companies,” said Kent Oyler, chair of CommonWealth Crowdfunding and managing director of OPM Financial. After researching crowdfunding, Oyler and others realized the potential that these regulation changes could have for equity investment. “We think there’s literally trillions of dollars — with a ‘T’ — that could be unleashed out of IRAs and savings accounts and other things in a responsible way,” Oyler said. The group members took it upon themselves to form a grassroots committee made of entrepreneurs, investors and other interested stakeholders based in the Louisville region of Kentucky. Despite the Louisville roots, Oyler maintains that this is a statewide effort. “It's not a Louisville, Lexington or northern Kentucky thing, but very much a regional movement to make sure the commonwealth of Kentucky is not left behind when it comes to having companies that are well prepared to accept crowdfunded financing and to have investors who are well prepared in how to invest in crowdfunded companies.” The group is regimented into several committees with defined focus areas, including communications, infrastructure, education, and advocacy and awareness. Education and advocacy are the centerpiece efforts for
this group as a whole, however, with several upcoming educational events planned. “We want to prepare entrepreneurs and small-business owners for these opportunities that lie ahead,” said Mary Thorsby, CEO of Thorsby & Associates and a founder of CommonWealth Crowdfunding. “And we also want to prepare vendors who can help support those campaigns.”
“We think there’s literally trillions of dollars — with a ‘T’ — that could be unleashed out of IRAs and savings accounts and other things in a responsible way.” KENT OYLER CHAIR OF COMMONWEALTH CROWDFUNDING AND MANAGING DIRECTOR OF OPM FINANCIAL
The necessary securities regulations are still a moving target. A recent loosening of limitations on general solicitation is the first step in the process, and a signal that the rest of the regulations may not be far behind. In spite of the uncertain timing, the group decided to get out in front of the curve and take decisive action. “There are people in regions who will be leaders in crowdfunding and others will be
laggards. In Kentucky, we don’t have the luxury of being a laggard. We need to be a leader,” Oyler said. To that end, CommonWealth Crowdfunding is already working with other varieties of crowdfunding as a way of divining what is and isn't working. There are four basic types of crowdfunding: donation-based, where supporters donate to the campaign; rewardsbased, where supporters receive rewards for funds; lending/debt-based, where supporters make loans to the campaign; and equity-based, where supporters receive company equity in exchange for funds. The group has adopted two rewards-based campaigns: one to fund an edition of a book on tailgating in the Southeastern Conference, and another to fund an entrant in a Red Bull Flugtag, a flight show that highlights homemade flying machines. The ultimate goal, according to Oyler, is to get Kentuckians in on the ground floor with equity crowdfunding. “The main thing is we want Kentuckians to understand what equity crowdfunding is, to be very comfortable with it,” Oyler said, “and when Kentucky-based companies are ready with their equity campaigns, so are investors.” When the regulations are finally issued, equity crowdfunding will face a few restrictions. According to the JOBS Act, equity crowdfunding will be restricted to portals that have been approved by the Financial Industry Regulation Authority within the SEC, and each equity crowdfunding campaign will be able to receive a maximum of $1 million per 12-month period.

Fail to succeed: Tales of ups and downs in launching small businesses
By Dan Dickson
CONTRIBUTING WRITER
T
homas Edison, the prolific American inventor, is said to have experimented with thousands of fibers before hitting upon the right type of carbon fiber to light and sustain his first commercial incandescent bulb. A lot of time wasted? Edison hardly thought so. “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work,” he stated. Many entrepreneurs feel that way today — you’ve got to try, fail and try again. “Entrepreneurs are business owners/scientists. No one questions scientists trying to find cures for cancer. It is one day at a time and thousands of little experiments. You learn from each one,” explained Randall Stevens, owner of Punndit, a Lexington start-up whose app, RaceFace, lets competitive runners tag themselves and friends in photos and videos for sharing on social media. One common mistake made by entrepreneurs is thinking they know the fertile markets. “You’ve got to figure out if customers are willing to part with their money,” said Stevens. “The quicker you do the sooner you move on.” In Punndit’s case, there are 28,000 timed races each year in the United States, ranging from the New York City Marathon to little weekend social runs. Stevens hasn’t quite figured it out yet, but he is working on handling the load and the marketplace. “There must be 27,500 race directors out there. How do you get to them?” he said. Pheeva, another fledgling Lexington start-up, is a rewards platform for online video games. It was launched in 2010 by Lafe Taylor and Lamar Wilson, who freely admit to the mistakes they made. “When we started, we had 400 people playing on it. We focused heavily on building an HTML5 platform but then realized it wasn’t ready for mobile devices just yet. We also saw the service we were pushing to game developers may not have been something developers wanted,” Wilson said. The problem has yet to be solved, and the pair continues to work day jobs at another local tech company, 212ths, where they write custom software applications for businesses. “I can’t say we completely failed, because it’s still out there, but our initial hypothesis failed,” Wilson continued. “We got it wrong with HTML5. We made assumptions that developers wanted it, and it was hard to find any who did. We even offered to pay them. That’s a tell-tale sign we needed to figure out something else.” Taylor said they got out too far on their own thoughts and beliefs. “Test ideas. Get it in front of customers as early as possible. That’s what we learned. With Pheeva, we went on our own assumptions — what we wanted, like game rewards — but people building the games were fine with the revenue streams they already had,” he said. Rebecca Fields, owner of a young start-up called Premier Dance, felt growing pains, too. “Mistakes — oh, yes, there were many of those,” she said. “But it’s a learning experience.” Fields has danced since she was two-anda-half at studios. She attended SCAPA (School for the Creative and Performing Arts) in Lexington and had a dance minor at the University of Kentucky. After graduating, she stopped dancing and missed it. “I realized there were many adults who grew up dancing and missed it too,” she said. The biggest lesson Fields learned is that everyone has an opinion on how you should run your business, but every business is different and not every piece of advice applies. Also, she said, it is important to get a good mentor. “Put yourself into a community of people
who are doing similar things, like starting a business,” Fields said. Fields did that by obtaining space at Awesome Inc., an entrepreneurial incubator for start-up tech businesses in downtown Lexington. Though her business isn’t tech-related, she has learned much from people coming and going there. “Awesome Inc. has been a huge blessing,” she said. Another mistake Fields made was initially failing to offer the dance classes her customers really wanted, instead offering classes oriented to her favorite styles. She learned to bend to the marketplace. Brian Rainey, co-founder of Awesome Inc., started Book Exchange, an online market-
place for textbooks, with two other Awesome Inc. co-founders while all were in college. “We had thousands of users and thousands of transactions occurring with books being sold by vendors, but we never found enough people who would pay for the service, assuming it was free,” said Rainey. They tried getting advertisers but couldn’t sign enough to make the business go. “We made tons of mistakes,” Rainey said. “Our biggest one was not listening to customers about our website features. We wanted to install a course-ratings feature and one for the professors. We didn’t ask any students if they wanted it. We spent a whole semester building it, and nobody wanted it or used it — a
massive waste of time and resources.” Local entrepreneurs are so aware of the ups and downs of start-up businesses, they held a “Fail Party” recently, at which panel members shared their stories of the pitfalls of starting a new enterprise. Sharing both failures and successes can be cathartic, and the lessons learned from other entrepreneurs can help to improve the next effort. But entrepreneurs agreed that it is important to get start-up business ideas in front of people and gather input early in the process, for better or worse. “Get out of your development office and test, test, test,” Wilson said. “See if there’s room for your ideas to breathe.” BL

IndependentBusiness Innkeeping it in the family Beaumont Inn keeps growing with Bourbon Trail partnership and soon its own bourbon label By Kathie Stamps COLUMNIST: INDEPENDENT BUSINESS
T
he hospitality industry has been in the DNA of the Dedman family for five generations, as innkeepers of Beaumont Inn in Harrodsburg, Ky. With 31 guest rooms, three restaurants and a spa on the property, the Dedmans’ business model is that of a full-service country inn and tourist destination. In keeping with that model, Beaumont Inn partnered with the increasingly popular Kentucky Bourbon Trail in 2012. “We’re a perfect destination for people who come to do the Bourbon Trail,” said current innkeeper Dixon Dedman. “We are equidistant from all the major distilleries.” Beaumont Inn has 85 bourbons on the menu and is in the process of releasing its own label, Kentucky Owl, which should be available by early next year. When the city of Harrodsburg went moist in 2003 (alcohol sales permitted with 100 seats and at least 70 percent of revenue derived from food sales), the Dedmans used the limestone foundation of a former carriage house on the property to
build Old Owl Tavern, a 90-seat casual restaurant and bar. “That became a real big draw for the locals,” Dedman said. Demand for a casual restaurant with a bar was so great, in fact, Beaumont Inn added the Owl’s Nest Pub near the inn’s main restaurant in 2009. Local industries in Harrodsburg were expanding even through the economic downturn, so between corporate travelers and the popularity of “staycation” getaways for people in neigh- DIXON DEDMAN boring cities and states, Beaumont Inn weathered the storm and is in a good position to continue growing. “You don’t stay in business for 100 years without being able to adapt and fight through those tough times,” Dedman said. “You make changes and hunker down when you need to.” Employing about 60 people during its high season in the summer, Beaumont Inn also stays booked during the spring and fall
meets of Keeneland. Thanksgiving is the inn’s biggest day of the year. Beaumont Inn’s main building houses guestrooms, a gift shop and a fine-dining restaurant. It was built around 1845. “We still operate within the original footprint of the main building,” Dedman said. In the 1930s, three other buildings for lodging were added to the grounds: Greystone Hall, Goddard Hall and Bell Cottage. “There are not very many properties nationwide, still family-owned and operated, that are our size and offer as much as we offer,” Dedman said. Formerly an institute of higher learning for women, Beaumont Inn was known as Daughters College and then Beaumont College from the mid-1800s until the school closed in 1916. Dedman’s great-great-grandmother, Annie Bell Goddard, purchased the property in 1917. She had been the dean of Beaumont College, and the grounds soon became a place for visiting alumni to stay. As Goddard fed and housed them, Beaumont Inn was born. The second-generation innkeeper was her daughter, Pauline Goddard Dedman, whose son, Thomas Curry Dedman, followed in the family footsteps. One of his children, Charles “Chuck” Dedman, was the fourth generation to run Beaumont Inn. Today he and his wife, Helen, still live on the property and are semi-retired. Their son, Dixon Dedman, is the fifth-generation proprietor. “We have a 2-year-old little girl we’re try-
ing to train to wash dishes and bus tables,” Dixon Dedman said. His wife, Elizabeth, also works at the inn, as have spouses and siblings in the Dedman family throughout the years. Dixon Dedman majored in English and sociology at Wofford College in Spartanburg, S.C., but knew he would come back to work at Beaumont Inn. “I graduated on a Sunday, and my dad said, ‘See you at work on Thursday,’” he said. That was 10 years ago, and now Dixon Dedman is handling day-to-day operations of the inn and the restaurants. “Ultimately it means that before the day is over, I’ll bus a few tables, wash a few dishes and fry a little chicken,” he said. “That’s the fun part. I would never survive at a desk. I’d never do very well if I had to look at a computer screen all the time.” He remembers his grandfather, the thirdgeneration innkeeper, telling him that three factors contributed to the success of the inn. The first was the automobile, which made travel easy. The second was Duncan Hines, the original travel writer and Bowling Green, Ky., native who was a huge fan of the inn’s food. The third was — and still is — Shaker Village. “We send guests back and forth,” Dedman said of the nearby tourist attraction. “Shaker Village is a wonderful asset to this community and a good partner in tourism for us here at the inn.” For more information about Beaumont Inn, visit www.beaumontinn.com.

FaceToFace MSI Production Services’ Sam White gives local events their ‘whoa’ factor By Erik A. Carlson BUSINESS LEXINGTON
J
ohnny Cash had a whole song to explain why he was “The Man in Black,� but the answer to “why you never see bright colors on my back� was different for the late country star than for a man whose last name, ironically, is White. Sam White can often be found at the back of many Lexington ballrooms during an event, wearing his industry-standard black outfit. He owns MSI Production Services, which he started in 1992 and went full-time with in 1998, after spending the early part of his career on the road with touring bands. “Some of us cut our hair; I still have guys that don’t,� said White, who toured with rock and Christian acts out of high school. “But it’s funny — A lot of my clients think it’s cool. They love the fact that there’s a guy there with a long ponytail and gray hair. They figure the guy’s been around the block a couple times.� So has White, who prides himself in making sure an annual event looks and feels different year after year. MSI originally started as a simple AV provider for presentations but has evolved into a full-service events company, offering tents, tables, linens, chairs, staging, audio, visual, film and more. “For years, you did these corporate meetings, and they did this pipe and black drape up in the back, and a light and a couple screens up, and you plugged a microphone in the wall,� he said. “What we call a corporate event now is pretty much everything but the band [for a rock show].� While he can often been spotted in Lexington overseeing the operation and setup of the stage, sound, lights and video for dinners like the Commerce Lexington annual dinner or press conferences and ribbon cuttings attended by the governor, White also gets to see the world doing presentations for companies. (Or at least he gets to see hotel conference rooms in Hawaii, the Caribbean and at the occasional major golf tournament.)
“We’re almost like an outsourced event department for some of these companies,â€? said White, who did not want to disclose the names of the clients he travels with. “We call ourselves the ‘kings of cheap theatrics.’ I’ve taken sheets of plastic, barbed wire, whatever, and made it look ‌ very expensive. But it’s always a gimmick for me to show them how I did it,â€? he said. He also has a tight balancing act on how he accomplishes it all, as he said at least 80 percent of his workforce is made up of freelancers who are hired for days at a time during events. But almost every day, White said, you can find his dad, a retired engineer, working on something housed in his warehouse off Fortune Drive. Shipping sensitive sound equipment and computers around the city or country tends to shorten their lifespans unless they are regularly maintained, so White trusts his father to that. His wife has an office for keeping MSI’s books while White himself keeps booking events. When putting together plans for an event, White utilizes 3D renderings to show how everything will look and fit in a room, from tables and chairs to sound, screens, a stage, plants, displays and more — even with images of the room’s carpeting. For White, that all builds up to the first time a client and event’s attendees see MSI’s work. “I always love to sit out in the pre-function area and just watch people when they come in and go ‘Whoa!’â€? White said. “That’s what we want our clients to have. We want that ‘Whoa!’ factor from them.â€? BL

Coffee Times and Lexington Coffee and Tea owner Terri Wood PHOTO BY AMY EDDIE
d Thurman developed a taste for high-quality coffee and espresso while traveling through Europe for work. Kate Roberts, a recent high school graduate, said she learned to rely on coffee to keep her up at night to study. Leo Brown uses the local coffee shop to conduct meetings with clients, and he likes to try new blends at each visit. For the past 30 years, Coffee Times coffee shop has filled a myriad of roles in customers’ lives — providing specialty coffee by the pound, original blends and a low-key atmosphere. “I really like being able to provide coffee for every part of your life,” owner Terri Wood said. Wood, along with her husband, Jeff, and parents Bob and Gloria Walker, celebrated the Coffee Times’ 30th anniversary in July. The coffee shop and the family’s wholesale coffee business, Lexington Coffee and Tea, began in the Woods’ garage on Armstrong Mill Road in Lexington. At the time, Terri Wood said, she did not anticipate opening a coffee shop but hoped to eventually sell customers freshly roasted coffee by the pound. “We were just trying to get enough customers to warrant buying a roaster,” Wood said. As a self-described lover of coffee and natural businesswoman, Wood said that when the opportunity to combine the two presented itself, it seemed like a natural fit. By 1983, Wood had built an ample customer base of local retailers and was able to set up shop on Regency Road. Lexington Coffee and Tea also offers a coffee service for offices. When the retail space opened, Wood said the focus was providing customers with what they needed to make quality coffee at home, including coffee and espresso machines, to go with their own roasted coffee. The coffee bar began as a way to sample different flavors. “Coffee by the pound is the driver in this business,” Wood said.
In 1990, Coffee Times expanded into a full-service coffee shop, and customers began viewing it not just as a place to buy coffee, but as a destination in itself. “We end up covering all the bases. People love the environment,” Wood said. Leo Brown is a DJ at Real Life Radio and operates his own mobile DJ business. He has been a friend of the Woods for 20 years, and Coffee Times has become an integral part of his life, providing coffee for the radio station, fresh coffee on the go and a meeting place. “It’s all top notch,” Brown said. “You’re not going to get that at a corporate place.” Ed Thurman said his travels around the world have helped him develop a taste for the best quality coffee, something that can be hard to find. He enjoys buying different coffees to try at home, and he can often be found at the shop. When his work as a mining engineer took him to remote locations where coffee would be hard to find, he carried Coffee Times blends in his suitcase. On a recent Wednesday, customers of all demographics were seated around the shop, some working on laptops and others talking in friendly groups. Brown sat in a corner working with a client. Customer Kate Roberts shared coffee and dessert with her mother, Sandra Roberts, and a friend, Jenny Lowe, before heading to church. “It’s my meeting place of choice,” Kate Roberts said. “I used to work across the street, so I used to come here for two hours every day.” While a student at Clays Mill Christian Academy, Roberts convinced the principal to let her go to Coffee Times and get an order for the school. She has become friendly with the staff and likes that they know more about her than her coffee order. “I cut my hair, and they’re like, ‘Oh my goodness, it’s different,’” Roberts said. Success is something Wood said she does not take for granted, even after 30 years. “It was hard when I started, and it’s still hard today, but it’s what I love to do,” Wood said. “I’ve tried to hold up my end of the bargain.” BL

PEDAL POWER BUILDS UP 40 YEARS OF STEAM
By Rachel Gilliam
CONTRIBUTING WRITER
B
illy Yates was first introduced to cycling in the early ’90s as a student at Morehead State University. A friend offered to let Yates ride his mountain bike, and it didn’t take long for him to become hooked. “I immediately fell in love ... I’ve ridden bikes all my life, but I’d never ridden a good one. This was a good one, and it was like totally night and day — a different experience,” Yates said.
Now the owner of a successful bike shop, Yates spends his days helping keep those who are already hooked on the roads or the trails. But equally as important is serving the customer who is new to biking and trying things out for the first time, he said. As Pedal Power Bike Shop manager Alan Brady said, “Lexington’s a very diverse place, and we have to fit the needs.” Fitting the needs of local bike riders has kept Pedal Power in business for 40 years, as cycling’s popularity has experienced the ebb and flow of changing times and hobbies.
“[Bicycles] are very practical and quite efficient getting around in traffic,” Yates said. “You can do a lot of different things on a bicycle. I’ve seen a lot of changes over the years. The town has really improved in a lot of ways. Is there still room for improvement? Of course. But I think we have made major strides in a direction we cyclists can appreciate.” Yates first came to Pedal Power in 1995, working for the original owner, Gary Collins. After five years, the opportunity to buy the shop presented itself, and Yates said he and his wife decided to try running the business Pedal Power Bike themselves. Shop manager “I was an avid cyBilly Yates (left) clist and now do mostly and the Pedal family riding with my Power staff wife and my children PHOTO BY AMY EDDIE and try to help with local advocacy as much as possible,” Yates said. Alan Brady also came to the shop in 2004 because of his love of cycling. At the time, Brady was an architecture student at the University of Kentucky and took a job at Pedal Power as a break from school. After graduation, Brady decided to stay on at the shop and was eventually promoted to manager. “I just liked the atmosphere here,” Brady said. “I’ve gone from a nameless mechanic to manager.” During his nine years at the shop, Brady has served bike commuters, road cyclists and mountain bikers. Staff members at Pedal Power are trained to help customers select the right bikes for their needs and to maintain those bikes for optimal performance. “You get the commuters that come in pretty regularly, and people who say, ‘I haven’t
15
ridden a bike in 30 years,’” Brady said. The shop’s proximity to UK on Upper Street has also been a boon to business, Brady said. Students frequently come in looking for bikes to help them get around campus so they don’t have to pay for parking a car. “We continually stay educated and go to trade shows. We go to maintenance classes. We are members of all the cycling advocacy groups, and we try to keep our finger on the pulse of what’s going on, both in cycling and in business trends,” Yates said. Ultimately, Yates said, the shop’s success depends on knowing the product and listening to customers to better serve their needs. “We feel if we take care of them, they’ll want to do business with us,” Yates said. During his years of working in bike shops, including a shop in Louisville, Ky., prior to coming to Lexington, Brady said he has seen attitudes toward biking change. In the ’90s, for example, mountain biking took off in popularity, and in 2008, with the economic downturn and high gas prices, there was a growing trend toward commuting. “We in the industry as a whole were scrambling to fill the need,” Brady said. Now, in addition to the economic benefits, cyclists also are seeing the health benefits of cycling, Brady said. And Pedal Power has been filling those needs for decades. Both Brady and Yates are passionate about getting people on bikes, whatever their goals. “We succeed because we listen to our customers. If you are on a bike, you are a cyclist in our eyes,” Brady said. Pedal Power is located at 401 S. Upper St. For more information, visit www.pedalpowerbikeshop.com. BL

Next-generation real estate As 30-somethings, Block + Lot Real Estate owners hope to leverage youthful energy with growing experience in the commercial real-estate market By Erik A. Carlson BUSINESS LEXINGTON
L
ate last year, Clay Angelucci began talking with two of his friends in the commercial real estate industry about forming a new group, to be headed by the three of them. Angelucci had been working on his own since 2010, running ACRE Commercial Real Estate, and began discussions with Peter Barr and Greg Leveridge, then both of Haymaker/Bean. It’s not all that uncommon for real estate brokers and agents to leave one office and form another. Having a triumvirate, with the oldest owner being 33 years of age, is a different story — especially in an industry dependent on older, seasoned decision makers. “Part of this company is our youth, but along with experience,” said Barr, 32. “We have quite a few years under our belt; it was just time for us. All three of us have an entrepreneurial spirit, and it’s just something that excited us — to put your own mark on something, to put your own brand on something.” In mid-March, the three launched Block + Lot Real Estate, focusing mainly on commercial listings, and the company expects to have 100 properties marketed by the fourth quarter of 2013.
“I’ve been playing the youth card — you know, young and motivated — but [I’ve been doing this for] 10 years; in a lot of realms, you’re a veteran after 10 years,” said Leveridge, 33, who handled residential real estate in Manhattan before moving back to his hometown of Lexington. The three said they have built the agency on a philosophy focused on the urban center, a mindset that guides their growth and could be an attribute of their generation. “We like the downtown market because of how proud we are of Lexington,” Angelucci, 30, said. “We do brokerage all around Kentucky, and we certainly want to grow our database, but Lexington is important to us.” Around Lexington, the group’s stark black-and-white signs are prominent, as are their family names, which were intentionally left off the company. “All three of us were blessed to have great family names and were very fortunate with that,” said Leveridge, whose father, Glenn Leveridge, has spent years in the central Kentucky banking industry, including a time as the head of Chase for the market. Glenn Leveridge is now an executive with Central Bank. Barr’s father, Garland Barr, is a founder of Barr Anderson & Roberts PSC, a 37-year-old accounting firm in Lexington
from which he is retired; his brother, Andy Barr, is in Congress. Angelucci’s father, Kenny Angelucci, has spent years in real estate and development, and his uncle, Steve Angelucci, is president of Lexington Catholic. “Our families have been successful, and I think we have each learned different things from our parents and our families in regard to business,” Peter Barr said. “Most of all, from
“We don’t want it to be about us, we want it to be about the properties, about the clients. We want to help with bringing more businesses to Kentucky.” CLAY ANGELUCCI CO-OWNER OF BLOCK + LOT REAL ESTATE

my side, is to conduct your business ethically, honestly, and to work hard. It’s as simple as that. If you treat it that way, then your business volume is going to compound.” But tying their company to their respective lineages would be counter to their mission, Angelucci said. “We don’t want it to be about us, we want it to be about the properties, about the clients,” he said. One of those aspects is working with companies looking to come to town, either with a new office or restaurant concept. “We want to help with bringing more businesses to Kentucky,” Angelucci said. Leveridge said he and Angelucci seemed to be seeing a lot of each other when it came to urban infill properties in the Distillery District, along North Limestone and on National Avenue, before Block + Lot was formed. “We realized we were either going to be competing with each other as brokers or we can join forces, and so we’ve teamed up with each other on all of those and we’ve seen traction on those too, which is real exciting,” he said. But the group and their other agents are looking at much more than the inner core of Lexington. “Though Lexington is the second largest market in Kentucky, it’s too small to specialize,” Barr said. “We really do need to focus on all different property types, because of the size of the market.” BL

The Show Must Go On, and On Studio Players celebrates 60 years of community theater
By Cynthia Ellingsen
CONTRIBUTING WRITER
S
ixty years ago, The Studio Players lifted the curtain on their very first production, “The Play’s the Thing.” The performance was held in the dressing room of a dance studio because the non-profit theater group did not yet have a stage to call its own. The troupe spent the next six years performing wherever it could, including the University High School, and even Keeneland, before finding a home in 1959 at the Carriage House in Bell Court. Bob Lynch, a veteran of Studio Players, remembers those early days. “We did a play called ‘Three Men On a Horse’ out at Keeneland in the round. We were lifting furniture over the audiences head to get it in place,” he said, laughing. “The Carriage House made a big difference. Just having one place where you keep everything, you could keep all your materials and paint in one spot. You didn’t have to move around to have a show.” Since the Carriage House was literally a place where horses and carriages were kept, turning the space into a theatre took some hard work. “We had to build a stage in there and make it ready to have an audience,” Lynch said. In addition to the stage, wooden risers and roughly 1900 seats from the Woodland Auditorium were installed. Over the years, small improvements were made as funds and resources allowed, but it wasn’t until 1994 that a full renovation took place. “We got to add on the vestibule with the nice restrooms,” Lynch said. “The audience
members used to have to go upstairs where the actors were.” The location and the unique history of the building certainly helped the Studio Players to build a presence in the community. It’s nearly impossible to walk, drive or bike by the park in Bell Court without noticing the bright white structure that sits at the edge of the park and serves as the community theatre. “The people who live in the Bell Court area, their kids will play [in the park], they’ll walk their dogs; they will walk by and see what’s going on,” said Mylissa Crutcher, the current board president of the Studio Players. “Because something is always going on.” Studio Players is often busy, as it runs a full production schedule of five plays per year. When one production is rehearsing, the next one is auditioning. The high volume of the theatre means that the organization has a variety of roles to fill, both on and off the stage. As a result, community involvement is highly encouraged, through helping with the set or costumes, to acting. Some of the actors have prior experience, such as in college, and others are ingénues to the stage. “For people who have a job and a family,” Crutcher said, “community theatre might be a better opportunity to get onstage because those dreams are closer to home.” If history is any indication, participation in the Studio Players may become a lifelong journey. Bob Lynch and his family have been a part of the organization since the early ’50s. His parents, Jack and Grace Lynch, were involved in theatre in both New Jersey and
Chicago before moving to Lexington. They sought out a theatre group in their new home and found the newly formed Studio Players. Lynch’s family has remained involved with the Studio Players for the entirety of its run. His mother was president of the board three times, and his father and brother also served terms as president. Lynch served on the board and, from 1968 to 1979, performed in roughly two to three plays per year. Mylissa Crutcher also attributes family ties to her involvement with the group. Brenda Crutcher, her mother, served as the stage manager of a show in 2002. She recruited her daughter to assist the scenic designer with painting sets. Crutcher remembers her first task with the Studio Players as painting “many, many bricks on a porch.” Since Crutcher was trained in Design and Tech in Theatre from the University of Kentucky, the Studio Players also invited her to
“We want to keep bringing people and generations in, having them experience the theatre and wanting to be involved. That’s what it’s all about – being able to appreciate the craft, demonstrate that to other people, so they can appreciate it as well.” MELYSSA CRUTCHER
BOARD PRESIDENT OF THE STUDIO PLAYERS
put those skills to work. Before long, she was working as the lighting designer for two shows a year, and once an entire season. Her passion for the organization quickly earned her an invitation to join the board. The board at Studio Players is a working board, which means everyone is involved in the shows in some capacity. The board is made up of those who are involved in the theatre and show sincere interest in the direction of the group. Crutcher served as presidentelect in 2012 and was moved to her current position in June of this year. She is responsible for officiating meetings and trying to get everyone on the same page. “When decisions have to be made,” she said, “you have to look at everyone’s input and try to be a good voice of reason in decision making.” The input of the community also plays a starring role in steering the type of productions performed onstage. The Studio Players has several repeat season ticket holders and the board makes a point of choosing entertainment that will keep them coming back. “We rely on the opinions of our audience members and what’s popular with them,” Crutcher said. Looking ahead, Crutcher hopes the Studio Players will thrive as long as possible as a community theatre, providing a place for people to express themselves and get involved in the arts. “We want to continue the success of putting on good shows and having good people involved,” she said. “We want to keep bringing people and generations in, having them experience the theatre and wanting to be involved. That’s what it’s all about – being able to appreciate the craft, demonstrate that to other people, so they can appreciate it as well.” BL

WRFL’s Boomslang festival heads into fifth year of putting different sounds and culture on the radar
Boomslang Music Schedule
Staff Report
Friday, Sept. 20
I
t started with the 20th anniversary of Radio Free Lexington, and now WRFL FM’s annual festival Boomslang is in its fifth year as the University of Kentucky student- and volunteer-run radio station celebrates its silver anniversary. Organized primarily by WRFL’s student directors with support from community volunteers, the multivenue art and music festival expands on WRFL’s mission to provide a local platform for under-the-radar music and culture September 20 through 22. Though the event has a central theme, it does not have a central location, as entertainment, learning and religious venues around Lexington will take part in the festival. Events will be hosted at Al’s Bar, Buster’s Billiards & Backroom, the Carrick Theatre on the campus of Transylvania University, the Carnegie Center for Literacy and Learning, Cosmic Charlie’s, Embrace Church, Lynagh’s Irish Pub, Natasha’s Bistro & Bar, MoonDance at Midnight Pass in Beaumont Circle and West Sixth Brewing. In its short five-year run, Boomslang has grown offshoot events like Filmslang, a six-film event over five days in the week leading up to Boomslang at the Lexington Public Library.

Archive, an installation of cataloged items from his life — an old restaurant receipt, ashes from his late dog, his own haircut shavings. Bickett's obsession with collecting, archiving, documenting, and preserving has extended beyond things to include people. Throughout his experience as a self-taught artist, Bickett has met, befriended and accumulated relationships with extraordinary artists. For the first time ever at LAL, this exchange between artists will be examined in an exhibition curated by Bickett and featuring the work of six artists who have ties to Lexington: Aaron Michael Skolnick, Aurora Childs, R. Clint Colburn, G. Haviland
