Rainbow flags & American Idiot

COVINGTON, Ky. – (Cue walk-up music. Maybe “Back in Black,” Gwen Stefani’s “Let Me Reintroduce Myself,” or “Back from the Dead.” … Then barge in doing the Conor McGregor strut … )   Did you miss us?   We grudgingly put the Thursday evening “Weekend in #LoveTheCov” narrative events calendar feature on ice during th...

Art, crafts & caution

COVINGTON, Ky. – Last year we used this space to crack jokes about the odd-sounding names for Santa Claus around the world. This year, we’re mourning.   Bars and restaurants are now allowed to use up to 50 percent of their indoor seating capacity, and we strongly urge you to support them. We also hope you patronize Covington’s small retailers as you work down your Christmas...

We're back -- be safe!

COVINGTON, Ky. – Weekend in LoveTheCov has been on hiatus because we in good conscience couldn’t urge people to get out in public with COVID-19 numbers in Kentucky setting record after record.   We’re back – not because the threat is over, because it is not (although there are hopeful signs) – but because we’re trying to balance a range of needs that seem t...

Vote counts & staying safe

COVINGTON, Ky. – Math. Tabulations.   If you’re like the rest of America, your primary source of entertainment right now is a 24/7 following of any news site giving a running account of The Count.   That’s the presidential election, of course, in which America turned out in record numbers to decide whether to replace Donald Trump with Joe Biden. (As of this moment, we...

'Nightmare' & a sensitive zombie

COVINGTON, Ky. – Halloween isn’t just taking a sharpened object to a harvested orange cultivar of a gourd or hoping your neighbor this year gives out more than Dum Dums and Tootsie Roll Minis (guilty!)   If you really want to expand your horizons, get on the Internet and start reading about Samhain, Allhallowtide, Totensonntag, Hop-tu-Naa, and Nos Galan Gaeaf.   But enough o...

Steeles & strolls

COVINGTON, Ky. – So we typically publish this on Thursday evening, but … well … it didn’t happen. The good news is that there’s all sorts of things to do in The Cov this weekend, including a one-mile fun loop through a park this afternoon, an outdoor movie, a “Tiny” Concert, a 5K and live art.   Goebel Getdown today Get yourself to the Goebel Getdow...

‘Secret Women’ & spooky songs

COVINGTON, Ky. – Other than the safety protocols in place at each event – and we strongly urge you to follow them – this weekend makes it possible to feel like fun still exists.   Spooky COVID cabaret This weekend’s “Tiny Concert Series” at The Carnegie features fun pop songs with a scary theme from the likes of “Rocky Horror Picture Show,” &ldq...

Pumpkins & the freshest art

COVINGTON, Ky. - With this weekend’s events featuring pumpkins, voting, hiking, and BCM’s annual art festival and fund-raiser, it’s most definitely beginning to sound a lot like … autumn.   28 years of art “Bid high and bid often” is an oft-urged mantra of auctions around the world. Come Sunday, the stunning talent of regional artists might inspire you to...

Indie & the Cinder girl

COVINGTON, Ky. - Catch an Indie flick outside or a made-for-TV in a fancy setting. Or pull on your lederhosen and drink a themed beer.   And of course, there are multiple places to buy food and flora, pop-up style.   ‘Oktoberfest,’ 2020 “Oktoberfuel” on tap. German-themed cuisine (from Parlor on Seventh). Music by Zinzinnati Bierband.   Sound familiar? &...

Green beer & pop-up at Purple P

COVINGTON, Ky. - COVID-19 still has much havoc to wreak and lives to damage. But this weekend in The Cov gives us hope that - despite the need for caution and care - fun can still be had.   From theater to pop-up art, a gallery opening to a Mexican cuisine-book event, some neighborhood cleanups to a holiday celebrated 6 months late, here are an array of events that will make going back to wor...
