Now Taking Submissions: 2009 CMApocalypse Bingo [Nashvillest Contests] [CMApocalypse 2009]

June 9, 2009 3:55 PM 16 comments

Last year, in what might be our all-time favorite post on Nashvillest, we posted a reader-submitted Fan Fair Bingo card for a little chuckle at the expense of CMA Fest tourists. It’s become nothing short of a legend, but we’re going to try our hands at the impossible and see if we can top it. Well, that’s not entirely accurate. We’re going to see if one of YOU can top it. 

Readers, this is where you come in. Send us your best shot at 2009 CMApocalypse Bingo (leave a link in the comments, or email it to tips(at)nashvillest(dot)com. We even have an awesome yet-to-be-determined prize for our winner. Submissions must be in by noon on Wednesday (tomorrow). We’ll post the winner for all to enjoy as the official 2009 bingo card, along with any other submissions that tickle our funny bones. Feel free to use last year’s bingo card as a template.

Disclaimer: We love our tourists, but we need a little fun to get the locals through the week!

    TIme Mangement Tip
    Bring as many friends as you need autographs. Look and see who has a fave star sitting at meet and greet. Everyone have a stanger shoot a photo of you and the star.
    If the artist only gives one per person call on your cell phone when your next in line hold the place for someone too.

    1. Bathing suits worn as clothes, with no pool in sight.

    I can tell from my visits to downtown during hockey season that the funky smell is always there, not just during CMA/Fan Fair!

    Downtown employees cursing under their breath as they walk 5 miles to and from an overcharged parking spot because the parking lot they ALREADY PAID FOR is under CMA “eminent domain.”
