Happy Hour: Hope You Gassed Up!
- It seems like only yesterday we were complaining about $4 gas. Now if only we could actually find gas to pay $4 for. [WTVF]
- And if you’re running low on gas, the last thing you really want to do is to wait for five hours behind a mile-long train like some folks did in Williamson County. [WSMV]
- But hey, at least your house didn’t get fire-bombed (again). [WSMV]
- And even if you run out of money for heat this winter, you probably won’t have to go without. [WTVF]
- So see? Happy hour is still pretty happy. Even if someone’s building a giant Bible-themed amusement park in your back yard. [WSMV]

Google Bus Rides Into Town… And Back Out
One of our readers happened to catch the Google Bus on its brief trip through town today – And you can too, if you’re quick on your feet and located somewhere near Vanderbilt. Google has packed up an eco-friendly school bus and they’re traipsing around the country to raise awareness for their Google Apps for Education program. Remembering how excited everyone was to see the Google Streetcar zipping through town and videotaping us all, we can’t help but feel a little sad that we missed out on the Google Bus. And we hear they’re handing out free Google swag. Keep an eye on the Google Road Trip page to see if they post any photos or footage from Nashville!
If you hurry, you can catch them before they take off at 4pm from The Commons at Vanderbilt. Thanks to @yogariffic for the tip!

Photo Of The Day: September 18, 2008
By the way the light shoots out from the moon, you may have a hard time telling it from the sun in this photo. Thanks to Flickr user VistaBonita for the submission!
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.

Bright & Early: Did You Hear Belmont’s Hosting A Debate Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We’re 19 days (and 11 hours and 27 minutes according to the website…) out from the Belmont debate, and this week seems to be the start of that crucial period of time where we probably won’t stop hearing about it in the news. Don’t get us wrong–we’re totally proud of our alma mater, but we’re ready to get this thing underway. This morning brings us the news that there might not be any protesters (ha, ha, ha) and that a lot of people are shelling out a lot of money to get their name on the program. Bear with us over the next few weeks as we slowly go insane.
- Freedom riders awarded degrees. TSU is finally awarding honorary doctorates to 14 former students who ditched school to join the Freedom Rides in 1961. It’s been an uphill battle getting it approved by the Tennessee Board of Regents, but it’s happening today.
- Prostitution busts. Apparently 5th Avenue South is quite the gathering spot for male prostitutes. We had no idea. Metro Police are doing their best to arrest the ones they see, but it’s only a misdemeanor, which means they’re likely to end up right back where they started.
- Bits & pieces. Vanderbilt University Medical Center signed a contract saying they’d be the main health provider for the Preds, taking over where the Saint Thomas left off … A Metro school bus drops a 5-year old girl off more than a mile from her house by accident … Even AAA wants to know why our gas is so dang expensive … The TVA wants to put themselves way, way, way into debt by building some more nuclear facilities.

Next Big Weekend: Americana Music Festival
Next Big Nashville not really your thing? That’s okay, because Nashville always has something for everyone. In this case, it’s back to back weeks of incredible music festivals. While the Americana Music Festival is much smaller in scale than Next Big Nashville, it showcases some of the best talents in the nation, and includes a solid schedule of music industry events and educational conference sessions. We’re still wiped out from our rendezvous with 2am (times 4 days) last week, but a bunch of the showcases have piqued our interest. With performances scheduled by artists from Buddy Miller to Ben Kweller (and everyone in between), there really is a show for everyone. Wristbands for all four nights (whoops, only three left) are only $35 and can be purchased at Grimey’s, Country Music Hall of Fame, or The Groove.
