I happened to be in the WRFL offices today just in time to overhear (that's a nice way to say "eavesdrop on") a discussion about the station's annual music festival, which is called Boomslang (not this boomslang - that would be scary, but this Boomslang), & there are some exciting things happening when the event takes place in September. Maybe I wasn't supposed to overhear & therefore I shouldn't talk about the "unconfirmed" guests, but I can say you should keep an eye on the official Boomslang website because there might be a reason to visit in September. I got an extra room.
If anything, one contributing factor to a visit has to be the weather. It's been really hot (by Kentucky standards) the last few days - over 100 degrees Fahrenheit today, & I don't think it's been that hot in this region in the three years I've been here. But I took the dogs for a walk just now & it feels fine out there. For one, there's usually a nice breeze. In Texas, the breezes get trapped by the dead trees, who suck the life out of them. The boys were panty & I got a little sweaty, but 8 pm in Lexington on a late June day is different than Austin, even when the highs are the same - it's ten degrees cooler here than there at that time. Although the humidity is the same. So maybe it wasn't honest sweat.
But in September, ah! There was a discussion about an outdoor event at last year's Boomslang & I recall it was decided not to have it at night because "it would be too cold." Too cold at night! In September.
That's a thing to like about living in the midwest.
