Happy Hour: Good News & Bad News
- In case you missed the anonymous Scientology protests on Music Row this weekend, there’s a video on Youtube. We’re not sure if it was intentional or not, but they definitely rickrolled the Celebrity Centre. [Youtube]
- Gov. Bredesen is giving his budget speech as we blog. “Tennessee is a great idea,” he says. We’ll say. Look out for lots of job cuts and no love for pre-K, among other depressing news. [WTVF]
- While we’re talking about speeches, Mayor Dean will be giving the State of the Metro speech tomorrow morning at 10:30am at the Nashville Public Library downtown. He hasn’t done this before, so it’s probably going to be good. If we were real geeks we’d liveblog it, but just look for the highlights tomorrow. [Tennessean]
- For all you Preds fans out there, Martin Erat is here to stay to the tune of $31.5M. He scores a lot of goals, so we’re pretty happy. Please don’t leave us, Preds. [City Paper]

Photo Of The Day: Brainz.
The Nashvillest Flickr pool has gotten off to a great start today. Thanks to all who have submitted your shots so far. Keep it up and spread the word! This one comes to us from gratiot, one of our first donors. We felt like it was just creepy enough to get the zombies out of our system. Happy Monday.
Photo Of The Day will be a recurring feature for Nashvillest as long you keep giving us stuff to post. Don’t worry- We’ll give you props. Just add them to the pool or tag them with “Nashvillest” if you’re feeling lazy.

What Exactly Is Nashvillest, Anyway?
The short answer: Nashvillest is for you.
The long answer: Nashvillest is for you, too.
In Nashville, we have it great. We’re a stone’s throw from Memphis, Knoxville, Chattanooga, Atlanta, Asheville, Birmingham, Indianapolis, Louisville, Cincinnati, St. Louis, even Chicago. We live in a vibrant and diverse city with no shortage of dining and entertainment options. Our city is rich with historical significance and quirky landmarks. Here at Nashvillest, we’re aiming high – We’re giving Nashville the respect it deserves. We’re more than just a city with deep country music roots – We’re bloggers, geeks, hipsters, zombies, sports fiends, actors, agriculturists, history buffs, artists, art enthusiasts, animal lovers, coffee drinkers, concertgoers, activists, parents, students, outdoor adventurers, marathon runners, music lovers, photographers, sushi eaters – and of course, musicians and tourists. And more.
Nashvillest is here to bridge the gap. Yes, we’ll be at the Twitter meetup (we’re huge Twitter geeks), but we’ll also be at the Sounds game and at Movies In The Park with our friends. We’ll also try the new Krayp Kafe and maybe swing by Fat Straw or Gigi’s Cupcakes for dessert, so we can give you a heads up on what to expect. And we’re going to let you know when everything happens, because we died a little inside when we heard about the presidential candidates coming to town… after they were gone. Our mission is to never let that happen again.
We told you we were aiming high.
Want to help? Nashvillest welcomes guest bloggers with open arms (we’re talking giant bear hugs, here). Right now, Nashvillest is just two people taking on a big task and hoping that Nashvillians will share with us along the way. We’re especially in need of good sports and food/drink coverage. Send submissions, questions, comments and complaints to tips@nashvillest.com. If you have an idea, we want to hear it!
Because we mean it when we say that Nashvillest is here for you.

Bright & (Not So) Early: Undead Edition
Good morning, Nashville. As we reported last week, the undead took to the streets of Nashville on Saturday, scaring tourists and dripping fake blood from Riverfront Park to the Parthenon. We’re not sure what the final count was, but we’re pretty sure it was well over 100, with a few more wandering around looking lost. More photos over here. Share your own snapshots in the Nashvillest Flickr pool, and who knows: We might just toss a few up here for everyone to see.
- Gone With The Wind. If you were stuck in traffic on I-65 yesterday morning, you may have noticed that semi that blew over in some of the 40 mph gusts. Another semi and and SUV weren’t able to swerve in time and resulted in a pretty big pile-up that shut down the entire southbound side, but everyone was alright. Moral of the story: Heed those wind warnings.
- We Can Has E-mail? We hope you stocked up on your Forever stamps, because starting today, it’ll cost 42 cents to mail a letter. Nashville Is Talking can’t figure out why it matters, since no one really mails letters anyway. We have to admit that we’re not real sure, either.
- Goodbye, Longhorn. If you work near Music Row, you might be interested in hearing this one: the Lyle Avenue Longhorn Steakhouse is officially closing next Saturday. We at Nashvillest would like to suggest Otters on Demonbreun if you’re in mourning. We realize it’s all “apples and oranges” and everything, but is there really a bad time for Otters?
- Recycle, Reduce, Reuse. Our friends at Curby are painting the town green this summer, setting out their trademark recycling bins at most of the big festivals and events around town. Thanks, Curby!
- Department of Wrong Numbers: A guy out in Warren County accidentally called a deputy to order some marijuana. And yes, they arrested him.
