Happy Hour: ‘Twas The Night Before Debate ‘08
- Debate ‘08 roundup: Belmont wraps up its preparations for the big night tomorrow … The Tennessean takes us inside the debate hall and we’re still sort of bummed out that we don’t get to go … Belmont’s really, really, really pumped for their night in the spotlight … No, seriously, they’re REALLY pumped … Channel 5 lets us take a peek inside the media tent … Mayor Dean waxes poetic about us and Belmont and Vandy and our music scene and basically, he loves us all.
- If you’re anywhere near downtown, Gene Simmons is filming his reality show “Gene Simmons Family Jewels” at Tootsies in about an hour. Go forth and take pictures. [Tennessean]
- Metro is finally suing the security contractors hired to keep watch over the Davidson County Election Commission’s laptops that were stolen last Christmas Eve. [City Paper]
- Guy runs over fox, guy picks up “dead” fox to take it home, fox wakes up in backseat of SUV, guy freaks out and crashes SUV, fox dies. And guy’s name is Fox. [Tennessean]

Photo Of The Day: October 6, 2008
Between the Vandy game and the Celebration of Cultures, traffic at Centennial Park was a force to be reckoned with. But those who were brave enough to venture down there for the festival were treated to some incredible cultural cuisine, arts & crafts, and of course–dancing. Thanks to Allison Stillwell 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.

Ugly Mugs Brightens Up Monday Morning With Free Coffee
We just can’t get enough of our new friends at Ugly Mugs. The only problem is that sometimes they’re so busy that we can’t even find a seat, which is not a bad problem to have for a brand new business. The remedy? Jarod and Courtney are answering consumer demand for increased hours, starting today! Ugly Mugs is now open on weekdays from 6am-10pm, on Saturday from 7am-10pm and Sunday from 7am-5pm. Finally, a coffee shop that’s open past 8pm in East Nashville? Yes please!
Now here’s the free part (we know that’s why you’re still reading) – we’re proud to offer Nashvillest readers a special offer in celebration of Ugly Mugs’ extended hours. Simply print out the coupon above (click to open in a new window) and bring it in anytime this week for a sweet buy-1-get-1-free deal… But you may want to wake up early and race your fellow readers to Ugly Mugs, because the first person to bring in the coupon each day this week will get coffee for themselves and a friend for FREE! Consider this an opportunity to try out a new coffee shop risk-free, or a little reward for those who have been supporters since day one.

Bright & Early: Ballin’ Edition
Good morning, Nashville. It was a win-win weekend for us in the football department… well, make that a win-win-win. Not only did the Titans make quick work of the Ravens in Baltimore (stretching their record to 5-0), but TSU mowed right over UT-Martin 30-27 in overtime, and who can forget Vandy? In a complete upset, the Commodores took down the Tigers 14-13 and extended their own record to 5-0. The fans are the ones who really stole the show, though, when ESPN admitted that they were pretty impressed with the GameDay turnout.
- Dear Senators. In honor of the Big Day tomorrow, Mayor Dean wrote a nice note welcoming the candidates into our fair city. And by “nice note,” we mean lengthy epistle with a few policy recommendations of his own. Strangely enough, he doesn’t mention sidewalks.
- Save our Preds? The Preds have apparently defaulted on a $40M loan, which they’re blaming on Boots since Boots owes them $100M. There’s also talk of that Canadian paying it off for us, but we all know he just wants to buy the team.
- Bits & pieces. The Roma employee that was shot during the robbery last week died over the weekend … Dolly has thrown her endorsement behind Sarah Palin, saying they have a lot in common. Sort of … New celebrity baby in the house! Congrats to Dierks Bentley and his wife for the birth of Evalyn Day Bentley on Saturday … We’re glad everyone’s coming to town for the debate because we can sell them stuff.
