LexGo.com

For as badly as this town needs an entertainment calendar, I don't think anybody needs it more than I do right now. I'll be back from Iraq in eight days. My plane will land at Bluegrass Airport, I will pick up my bags and try to remember how to drive a car. Pay with a credit card. Sleep eight hours a night. Hold a conversation without an Arabic-speaking intermediary. Walk home from friends' houses without being escorted by a man with an AK-47. 

I'm maybe not so well-prepped for a good night out.

Lucky me, I knew all about the H-L's fancy-pants new entertainment Web site, LexGo.com, back when it was nameless and URL-less. We had deep, probing discussions about whether it was offensive to use orange as the background color in a Kentucky blue town. We panicked once about whether the hapless squatter sitting on LexGo.com would really let it go.

Now here it is, debuting noonish today, just liked we planned, more or less.

And just in time.

See, I still do a double take when someone here makes a crack about a pregnant Jamie Lynn. (Because I am so, so very not.)  I have no idea who is playing at The Dame, I don't know what's on the seasonal menu at Alfalfa and it's been months since I watched a movie that wasn't on a $2 pirated DVD sold on any given corner in Baghdad.

It's all there, along with my in-the-know blogging pals Rich, Harriett and Walter. And Review Revue, our compendium of what's good and bad. When I get away from War Story and back to It's All About, you should come visit me there, too.

My favorite part of it is that everybody gets to play along. You can add reviews, input your own calendar items and...basically, help me. I don't know what's going on anymore.

Tell me what I missed other than, of course, you.
