A few weeks back, we got word that Sports Illustrated had inexplicably chosen Nashville as the location to host their 2015 Swimsuit Fan Festival, an event to celebrate the release of their popular, annual Swimsuit issue (which hits newsstands Feb. 9).

A week ago today, we were arriving in Louisville, Ky. for the annual Forecastle Festival. A three-day celebration of music, art, and activism set on the banks of the Ohio River, Forecastle is more than just a junior version of Bonnaroo.
