blueline is a new resource for the Lexington-Louisville-Cincy triangle and the surrounding areas. The ultimate purpose of the site is to keep locals and visitors up to date with opportunities to enjoy music, art, culture and various forms of entertainment in the region. If it comes off as a Lexington fan page, well, that's becase I live here and I am. I hope to keep a balance and am particularly looking for input regarding shows and happenings outside of Lexington.
I foresee the format and nature of the content changing over time; that said, the purpose of the page may very well change or evolve over time. One thing that will remain central is an active and accessible regional music calendar with information about local talent and venues.
If you have any suggestions for improvement, bring 'em.
