[Tennessean] Spring is back, Spring is back! [Nashville WX] In an effort to keep idle kiddos off the streets during Spring Break, [...]
Photo Of The Day: March 16, 2009
We’ve been meaning to post this photo by williamohare for a while, but we figured we should probably do it before it gets to be 70 degrees and Autumn becomes a total thing of the past. We love the calming composition and bluish hue reminds us of cool weather and blustery days that we hope are mostly behind us.
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.

Oops: Short & Sweet [Gems From The Nashville Craigslist]
This bitter gem was sent in by reader Jenny B., and though it may be short, it’s definitely one of the best posts we’ve seen on Craigslist lately. Additionally, if you weren’t able to get a ticket to Flight Of The Conchords, there might be something in it for you. Thanks Jenny!
One Flight of the Conchords @ Ryman Main Floor Ticket – $99 (Nashville)
Hey, I bought a couple tickets to take my girlfriend to this show from Atlanta. Unfortunately, she’s a slut so this will no longer be happening. I’m mailing my ticket to my brother who lives there and this is set up to go to his Web address if you want to buy it. Figure out the details with him. Oh, and she’s “still going”, so if there’s a 5’4″ brunette with blue eyes next to you, spill something on her.
MF-7, Row V by the way.

Bright & Early: Just Like Fine Wine Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Despite all our best efforts and heartfelt w(h)ining, it doesn’t look like we’ll be seeing wine in the grocery store anytime soon. A poll of lawmakers last week revealed that more than half of them are undecided on the issue because they’re not sure we’re ready to overhaul the state’s liquor distribution system to accommodate the change. But here’s the real kicker: Rep. Harry Tindell (D-Knoxville) says, “Just like a fine wine, I’m not sure we don’t have to wait before the supermarket issue is ready for serving.” Nice analogy there, Harry. We still say that “undecided” is better than “no,” though, so check out Red White and Food to find out what you can do. (Thanks to @thomasruns for the tip!)
- Out with the old. Kids in Nashville, take note: A 17-year old in Oak Ridge (the creepy town that we predict will probably usher in the end of the world) is running for city council, which he can do because he’ll turn 18 eleven days before the election. A special prize goes to any 17-year old who wants to run against Councilman Crafton!
- Good news for people who love bad news. At the rate we’re going, Tennessee’s unemployment fund is scheduled to go bankrupt within the next year. (And yes, we did just raise the amount by $25 per check.) Consequently, Governor Phil is working a plan to raise taxes for businesses to try and replenish the fund before it runs dry.
- Bits & pieces. None of us can find jobs, so we’re all putting off real life by going back to school … Unpredictable numbers of refugees and immigrants are just one of many reasons that Metro Schools are having a rough time … And also, the infamous Most Controversial Rezoning Plan Ever … And also, guns … Congrats to the four Tennessee teams who made it to the NCAA tournament.

St. Patty’s Day Roundup [Or "Where The Beer's At"]
Happy St. Patrick’s Day, Nashville! Well, almost. We know it’s only Monday, but we wanted to give you a day’s notice so you can plan to call in sick your day, because the fun starts early and goes all day tomorrow. So if you’re among the unemployed (or just happen to be calling in sick from work, wink wink), count yourself lucky. You’re the only ones who will be able to partake in the 11am beer specials! Have fun! And above all else, stay safe, and call a cab or Zingo if you’re going to be drinking into the wee hours of the night.
The 4th Annual Yazoo Get Lucky East Pub Crawl. 7pm-12am, East Nashville’s 5 Points. Barhop from 3 Crow Bar to Beyond The Edge to Batter’d And Fried to Red Door East with Yazoo, Team Green & Lightning 100. Drink specials and special contests for participants, plus bonus giveaways for those who visit all four bars during the evening. We <3 Yazoo and 5 Points, so this is our top pick for the evening.
The 2nd Annual McPatty’s Fest. Starts at 1pm (18+ after 10pm), 2nd Avenue downtown. 2nd Ave will be blocked off (so commuters take note) for the party all day, so come and enjoy DJs, giveaways, and beer. And more beer. And did we mention beer? Since this is actually more of a street festival, tickets are $10, but a portion of the proceeds go to Relay For Life.
St. Patrick’s Day At Riverfront Tavern. 11am-close, 101 Church St. Listen closely. Green beer starts at $0.25 (that’s a quarter!) at 11am and increases in price by $0.25 every hour. We can only imagine the possibilities. And the first 100 people get a free t-shirt. And there’s no cover charge. Free + $0.25 beer + free t-shirts seem like a pretty dang good time to us!
St. Patty’s Pandemonium With Pat Patrick. 7pm-close, Limelight. Tickets to this one will cost you a whopping $30 each, but that includes dinner, free parking, and a performance by the Pat Patrick Band (who we’ve never really heard of but imagine that they’re in high demand on at least one holiday per year).
2009 Southside Irish Parade (& Pub Crawl). Starts at 5pm, Past Perfect. The first 50 participants get free kazoos, need we say more? This parade/pub crawl will drag participants down Broadway from Past Perfect to Paradise Park to Broadway Brewhouse to Doc Hollidays. Top it all off with a Wii tournament and free keg party (what, are we in college?) and you’ve got yourself a pretty exciting St. Patty’s evening.
3rd & Lindsley Celebrates St. Patrick’s Day. 5pm-close, 3rd & Lindsley. Headlined by The Blair Band, tickets to this party are only $10 and the price includes a beer. Also promised are some Irish dancers, woohoo!
Dan McGuinness Kegs, Eggs & More. 8:30am-close, both Dan McGuinness locations. A pint o’Guinness and some Irish scrambled eggs for only $9 until 11am, then party all day with free shuttle service between the downtown and Cool Springs locations. $10 cover charge to enjoy live music and great food & drink specials all day.
