Gibson Guitar Prepares To Take Second Life By A Storm
Ever the pioneers, Nashville’s very own Gibson Guitar has bought an island in Second Life where everyone can go try out their guitars for free. Virtually, anyway. If that isn’t enough to tempt you, they’ll also be holding concerts by real celebrities like Fleetwood Mac’s Bob Welch–actually, his avatar Bob Welch Magic–who will play at the launch party on Wednesday at 8pm CST. Tempting, but we’ve misplaced our virtual lawn chairs.

Happy Hour: Duck And Cover, Oak Ridge
- Nuclear waste from the Manhattan Project that’s being stored in Oak Ridge will soon be moving out of town, with 60-120 loads headed out to New Mexico over the next three years. [WTVF]
- Speaking of nuclear things in Oak Ridge, their East Tennessee Technology Park had kind of a scare today when it had to be evacuated for an accidental chemical reaction. Small wonder that the Oak Ridge folks aren’t glowing in the dark by now. [Tennessean]
- Even though MTA just cut a few bus routes, they’re adding express service from Sumner County into Nashville. [WSMV]
- Tennessee’s tax collections are about $60M less than everyone thought. [WTVF]
- The story that’s been all over the blogs this week is finally in the news: An undocumented pregnant woman who was taken into custody after driving without a license was made to wear restraints while she had a kid and for several hours after. [WSMV]
- The Williamson County Schools data snafu could end up setting them back about $100K. [WSMV]

Photo Of The Day: July 14, 2008
You probably recognize the subject of today’s photo as the San Antonio Taco Company, or SATCO. The food is a little questionable, but it’s sort of a Nashville staple. Either way, we loved this shot by fairytales.are.true that captured some great lighting and made good use of a blue color highlight.
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.

Gems From The Nashville Craigslist: Reform School
If dating a married ex-con is on your to-do list, we’ve got you covered. Why browse Craigslist when Nashvillest does it for you?
You pick my nose and I’ll pick yours… ohh wait thats not it.. – 35 (Nashville)
Ok, Well if your looking for walks along the beach during a great sunset move along. If your looking for that man that drinks wine and listens to Mozart move along, if your looking for some dumb flowers well you got it by now…..move along
I am not here to lie or sell myself to you like the other cornballs here I am bluntly honest. To start off I am not the best speller thats why I have to have a job with my name on my shirt. Ok that was a lie, I just wanted to prove I am a man.
I am not lonely nor am I needing a mommy to cook, clean for me. But if you think cooking cleaning and whoopie are cities in China than ya know the deal,, move along…
I am married thats why I havent posted my picture here along with its against my probation rules. I am on house arrest so I am looking for a woman that can come over when my wife is at work. I live on the first floor of an apartment complex so just incase my wife does come home you can climb out my bedroom window, which leads me to body requirements. If you cant climb out a window than most likely I wont want you in my bedroom in the first place.
I should have my ankle monitoring device off within 2 weeks so who knows after that we might be able to go out on a real date or something, as I said forget the walk along the beach. I am more into sitting on a curb and watching cars go by type of guy. If we do that it cant be close to where my wife works cause she does drive around Nashville.
Hey we all arent perfect but hopefully some of us have a sense of humor along with an arrest record, if you are a convicted felon than thats a plus in my book, and who knows maybe than we will have something to talk about ya know jail roomate stories etc.
Whats your take on this?
Our take on this is simple: run for the hills.

Bright & Early: Close Calls Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Our neighbors in Cumberland County had a rough weekend after an 18-wheeler carrying some hazardous and toxic chemicals wrecked on I-40 near Crossville. Police evacuated everyone within a 2-mile radius, saying that even though none of the material spilled, a chemical reaction with the rain could make things unsafe for the residents. An 80-mile stretch of I-40 was closed while Hazmat teams cleaned things up, but the coast should be clear now. Whew!
- Boots’ trail of destruction. It’s been a while since we heard anything about Preds minority owner William “Boots” Del Biaggio and all of those lawsuits we lost count of, but local Preds owners have decided to put up the $9.8M needed to keep the Preds from being in violation of their Sommet Center lease.
- Things we never knew. Despite the rain delays, Cindy McCain was able to make her trek around the Firestone Indy 200 on Saturday, immediately hopping out of the car and screaming, “That was great! Oh my god!” Come to find out, she and her son rebuilt a drifting car one time and did a little mother-son drifting, gaining her some serious street cred among the racing fans. And giving the rest of us something to giggle about this morning.
- Bits & pieces. The elusive Green Hills coyote attacked and killed a pet dog over the weekend … We’ve come to expect this, but it’s still sad: the Sounds lost. Twice … Bad storms knocked out power to a lot of Tennesseans … Titans tickets sold out in 30 minutes.
