Hi haunters and scare addicts! We have a last-minute change of plans!!
Due to the icky weather and the fact that Field of Screams being outside, we are having to rearrange our plans. As much as we LOVE trampling around in the mud and getting filthy, we decided the adult thing to do is to push this visit back to a *HOPEFULLY* less icky weekend. We're sorry!!
But the good news is, we're taking on another first-time visit a little outside of Louisville tonight. We're visiting Fear Fair in Seymour, IN, and hoping to get scared out of our wits!
So stay tuned, there will be live updates (and hopefully interviews) on Facebook and who knows, maybe a giveaway?? Only time will tell, so make sure you like us on Facebook to find out!!
Fear Fair, we're calling YOU out now!! See you in a bit!

Here Comes the Haunting Season!
With a new haunting season upon us, Locally Louisville has gotten a facelift!
We have a LOT of new stuff coming for 2016 and we think you're going to like it. Giveaways, live updates, and a crapton (that's an exact measurement, btw) of awesome reviews for your viewing pleasure. We're even planning on awarding some haunts in several categories, such as set design, creepiest creature, and overall scariest haunt, among others. Our social media pages will be alight with activity too, so make sure you follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram!
We're visiting our first haunt this weekend. Field of Screams, we're calling you out! Be prepared to be invaded by two crazy chicks completely obsessed with fear!

LL Review: Heroes Comics and Gaming - By Ash
Hey folks! We've been quiet lately but that's about to change with the review of Louisville's newest geek spot (and I say that with enthusiasm as a fellow proud geek), Heroes Comics and Gaming!
I have to make mention of the location really quick because to be honest, we passed it and had to backtrack. It's not totally hidden, but Google Maps put it a tiny bit further down from its actual location - at least for me - and by the time we saw it, it was too late to turn. So be on the lookout, you want to turn onto Lexington Avenue from Baxter Avenue, otherwise you'll pass right by it!
That being said, we parked and made our way inside through the back door. The first room we went into was the gaming room, where a handful of folks were already engaging in RPG's. We crossed through to the store area, and I have to say I was impressed. The layout and space were functional and the decor was tasteful. There were tables set up for demos of games, other games set out that you could try out, an entire wall of board and card games, Funko toys and, of course, a ton of comics with ample room for growth in all departments. There was a lot of love put into renovating this space and it is paying off.
The staff is great - super friendly and helpful. We got to chat a bit with Chris who even posed for a candid for us, and he offered up some advice, tips, and laughs for us while we shopped.
The owner rang up our order and you can tell he takes pride in his work. Thanks for letting me be awkward and weird and giving us a pic to go along with this! We missed Kevin, but those of you following our blog would know him from the Haunted Hotel - a fan favorite and recurring review venue for LL. We'll catch him next time, though!
The variety of nerd and geek levels offered means there's something for everyone. My husband and I picked up our first RPG game (yes, I'm an entry level geek in this area) and although it tired us out figuring out how to put it together and get started, it's a pretty fun investment that will bring us hours upon hours of entertainment. Check out our spread, and mind the mess, please!
Overall, I can't lie, I love this place. I felt at home among my kind and didn't even have to pre-medicate my anxiety - these are my people. Five stars all around, this is a place I think I'll be frequenting often. (I only wish I hadn't moved out of the area last year!) We can expect a lot of great things to come from Heroes and I can't wait to spend more time there!

(A demo of a game - sorry the pic is a little blurry, he moved!)
(The display case isn't empty, I'm just short and can't get a good angle to show you all the cards for Magic and other card games!)
(My hubby Andy was enjoying the vast selection of Star Wars items available. Aren't I a lucky nerd to be married to a nerd like him?)
