Happy Hour: Yes He Did
- Gail Kerr from the Tennessean gives us a good roundup of lucky Nashvillians who made it to DC for the inauguration. [Tennessean]
- Jack Daniels knows how to celebrate- For the first time in a long long time, they’ve rolled out the inauguration barrel with some presidential whiskey. Not that we’ll ever get to drink it but we feel like it’s a cause for celebration. [Yahoo!]
- Okay, so Tim McGraw maybe won’t be our next governor. Or maybe he will! J/K LOL? [Pith In The Wind]
- A guy wanted for murder in Illinois fled from a Tennessee state trooper this morning at 7th and Union and ended up driving up on the sidewalk and mowing down two pedestrians. Everyone’s alive, but everyone including the murder suspect is in the hospital. [WTVF]
- Four days out from the big election, Eric Crafton lied again. Anyone surprised? [Pith In The Wind]
- A TDOT truck almost knocked down a bridge in East Tennessee this morning while it was salting for that HUGE BLIZZARD we had last night. [WSMV]

Bright & Early: This Day In History Edition
Good morning, Nashville. So today’s the day, huh? We’re having a tough time tearing ourselves away from the inauguration coverage long enough to peruse the local headlines, so we’re going to keep it short this morning. Happy Inauguration Day!
- MLK day. Hundreds of Nashvillians turned out for the MLK march down Jefferson Street yesterday, which for some, led up to the day of community service called for by the incoming Prez.
- Yikes. The word on the street is that, yes, Tim McGraw is totally planning on running for governor on the Democratic ticket. We don’t really know whether to laugh or cry.
- Bits & pieces. People are predicting we’re going to lose 15K jobs in Tennessee next year, bringing our unemployment rate to a cool 7.4% … One of the Tennessean woman who was on the plane that crashed last week gives her harrowing first-hand account … What is this about the Preds being booed off the ice after sucking it up against the Thrashers this weekend?

Collect Those Free Cosmetics, Nashville [Freebies]
Given the big events of today, a trip to the mall may be the last thing on your mind. So we’ll make this short and sweet – Basically, a bunch of department stores are settling a class-action lawsuit today by giving away 175 million dollars in free cosmetic products. You’re a member of the class if you’ve purchased a product from a very long list of cosmetic products between 1994 and 2003. As with all class-action lawsuits, you’re entitled to your (tiny) piece of the settlement. Collect by showing up at one of the qualifying stores (Macy’s and Dillards, in the Nashville area) and head to the cosmetics department, where you will grab a product valued at $25 for free. You may be asked to sign a form stating that you purchased a covered product between May 29, 1994 and July 16, 2003. And that’s it! It’s really that simple. [Consumerist, CosmeticsSettlement.com]

Where To Watch The Inauguration In Nashville
Most of us will be chained to our desks at work or in school today during the inaugural festivities, but for those lucky enough to be free this morning, you have a couple options that don’t involve sitting on your couch with a remote.
- Front Row Seat For History, The Belcourt, 9am-12pm: Join Nashville For All Of Us to watch the inauguration on the big screen. The event is free and open to the public, but new & gently used children’s book donations are being accepted for Book ‘Em & the Pencil Foundation.
- The Arts Company’s Inauguration Party, The Arts Company, 11am-2pm: Watch live coverage of the inauguration and browse political artwork done by four artists.
- At School: Most of the area colleges and universities are hosting big-screen viewings of inauguration coverage. This Tennessean article lists viewings for Belmont, Vandy and Fisk.
- At Home: Okay, okay, so you can still watch the inauguration live without “sitting on your couch with a remote” …technically. If for whatever reason you can’t be by your television (say, if you can spare a few seconds at work or something), online video sites Hulu and Joost are streaming live coverage all day.

Inauguration Day Means… Free Doughnuts? [Freebies]
Krispy Kreme is giving away a free doughnut today to celebrate Inauguration Day. Despite the fact that you can usually walk into Krispy Kreme and get a free glazed doughnut pretty much any day, you can get the sprinkly kind today if you want. Upgrade! We’ll probably grab a whole wheat glazed doughnut or something. J/K!!!1 Bring on that starch.
Krispy Kreme Doughnuts’ Inauguration Day promotion on Tuesday, January 20, 2009, is offering one, free doughnut of a customer’s choice at participating Krispy Kreme locations nationwide. No purchase is necessary. The promotion allows customers to commemorate Inauguration Day by selecting one free doughnut of any variety at local participating stores. On Election Day, November 4, 2008, Krispy Kreme ran a promotion that provided customers with one free star-shaped doughnut at stores nationwide. The Inauguration Day promotion is not about any social or political issue.
