SUMMARY:Saturday Storytime with MacKenzie Haley
DESCRIPTION:Carmichael’s is excited to host MacKenzie Haley for a special story time! \nAbout Dolly Parton’s Billy the Kid Dances His Heart Out:\nOur favorite French bulldog\, Billy the Kid\, is back! Featuring an original song by Dolly Parton\, the third book in her New York Times bestselling series follows Billy as he ruffs it out on the dance floor…and falls for his cute dance teacher. \nBilly the Kid has done it all. He’s moved to Nashville\, he’s formed a band\, and he’s rocked from coast to coast. But there’s one thing Billy hasn’t done…dance on stage. Dancing makes him nervous. And dancing in front of an audience? No way. \nThat all changes when Billy and his band nab an exciting gig as the opening act for Dolly Parton’s Doggy Dance Pawty. \nNow\, Billy is roping his friends into dance lessons. On the first day\, he watches dogs whirl and twirl. But one dancer stands out: his dance teacher\, Bella\, who is as graceful as she is beautiful\, with her auburn curls and a voice as sweet as pie. \nSoon\, Billy is trying to win Bella’s attention. But that’s difficult when he’s stumbling through dance moves and tripping over his paws. Can Billy nail the dance routine and catch Bella’s eye\, all before the big dance pawty? \nAbout Arlo:\nIn ARLO’s grim\, mechanical world\, every day is just the same. \nARLO powers up\, greases his gears\, and works on the assembly line like the rest of the robots. But unlike the others\, ARLO longs for something different. And one day\, a storm changes everything–leaving ARLO to discover\, and revel in\, the wilderness beyond the factory walls. \nJoin ARLO as he explores the unknown\, learns that home is where the metal heart is\, and that something different can be created in many ways. A story about creativity\, change\, and growing where you’re planted. \nAbout the Illustrator:\nMacKenzie Haley is an illustrator whose books include The Ninja Club Sleepover\, Pegasisters Go to Camp\, and Snitchy Witch\, among others. \nShe received her bachelor of fine arts in illustration from the University of Dayton and currently resides in Louisville\, Kentucky.

SUMMARY:Chuck Klosterman discusses 'Football' book with Pat Forde
DESCRIPTION:Carmichael’s is excited to host Chuck Klosterman for his new book\, Football. He will be joined in conversation by Pat Forde. \nThis is a ticketed event. Each ticket includes a copy of Football. Click HERE to purchase tickets. The event will be held at Highlands Community Ministries 1228 E Breckinridge St. 40204 \nAbout the book: \nA hilarious but nonetheless groundbreaking contribution to the argument about which force shapes American life the most. \nFor two kinds of readers—those who know it’s football and those who are about to find out. \n\nChuck Klosterman—New York Times bestselling critic\, journalist\, and\, yes\, football psychotic—did not write this book to deepen your appreciation of the game. He’s not trying to help you become that person at the party\, or to teach you how to make better bets\, or to validate any preexisting views you might have about the sport (positive or negative). Football does\, in fact\, do all of those things. But not in the way such things have been done in the past\, and never in a way any normal person would expect. \nCultural theorists talk about hyperobjects—phenomena that bulk so large that their true dimensions are hidden in plain sight. In 2023\, 93 of the 100 most-watched programs on U.S. television were NFL football games. This is not an anomaly. This is how society is best understood. Football is not merely the country’s most popular sport; it is engrained in almost everything that explains what America is\, even for those who barely pay attention. \nKlosterman gets to the bottom of all of it. He takes us to a metaphorical projection of Texas\, where the religion of six-man football merges with America’s Team [sic] and makes an inexplicable impact on a boy in North Dakota. He dissects the question of natural greatness\, the paradox of gambling and war\, and the timeless caricature of the uncompromising head coach. He interrogates the perfection of football’s marriage with television and the morality of acceptable risk. He even conjures an extinction-level event. If Žižek liked the SEC more than he liked cinema\, if Stephen Jay Gould cared about linebackers more than he cared about dinosaurs\, if Steve Martin played quarterback instead of the banjo . . . it would still be nothing like this. \nA century ago\, Yale’s legendary coach Walter Camp wrote his unified theory of the game. He called it Football. Chuck Klosterman has given us a new Camp for the new age\, rooted in a personal history he cannot escape \nAbout the Author: \nChuck Klosterman is the bestselling author of ten nonfiction books (including The Nineties; Sex\, Drugs\, and Cocoa Puffs; and But What If We’re Wrong?)\, two novels (Downtown Owl and The Visible Man)\, and the short story collection Raised in Captivity. He has written for The New York Times\, The Washington Post\, GQ (London)\, Esquire\, Spin\, The Guardian (London)\, The Believer\, and ESPN. Klosterman served as the Ethicist for The New York Times Magazine for three years and was an original founder of the website Grantland with Bill Simmons. He was raised in rural North Dakota and now lives in Portland\, Oregon. \nPat Forde is a senior writer for Sports Illustrated who covers college football and college basketball as well as the Olympics and horse racing. He co-hosts the “Others Receiving Votes” college football podcast and is a frequent contributor to “The Tony Kornheiser Show” and other audio and video productions. He previously worked for Yahoo Sports\, ESPN and The (Louisville) Courier-Journal. Forde has won 28 Associated Press Sports Editors writing contest awards\, has been published three times in the Best American Sports Writing book series\, and was nominated for the 1990 Pulitzer Prize. A past president and Hall of Fame member of the U.S. Basketball Writers Association\, and a member of the Football Writers Association of America\, he lives in Louisville with his wife. They have three children\, all of whom were collegiate swimmers. \n***description from eventbrite
