Happy Hour: Out Of The Deep End
- Tennessee’s unemployment rate decreased by two tenths of a point last month which is probably the most in a few years. [Tennessean]
- The Tennessean has been nearly peeing themselves over the amazing exclusive Garth Brooks news they were able to break afternoon, so be sure to keep your eyes glued there. And it turns out that, lo and behold, there are Vegas shows in the cards as everyone reported this morning. [Tune In Music City]
- Clarksville’s homicide rate has almost doubled since last year… hence the whole “Worst Place to Raise a Family” thing? [WSMV]
- Most state agencies are probably going to have to cut nearly a quarter of their budgets next year. And what does a 23% budget cut look like, exactly, as far as its impact on services? Guess we’ll find out! [WSMV]

Saturday: See The Soon-To-Be-Homeless Rollergirls Close The 2009 Season
The Nashville Rollergirls are back in town this Saturday for their first home bout in over two months (and the last one of the 2009 season), and we’re just hoping that it’s not one of their last bouts ever. Our Rollergirls are looking for a new home, as the clock ticks away to June 30, 2010, when the Tennessee State Fairgrounds will close down. If you’re hiding a moderately-sized sports arena in your backyard and wish to play host to the roller derby, or if you know of someone who does, drop them a line at nashville.rollergirls@gmail.com.
As we mentioned, Saturday’s bout is the last of the 2009 season, so grab your tickets and come out to see the X-Pistols take on the Assault Rivals this weekend. This season’s bouts have been selling out, but you can still get tickets at a number of retail locations or online here.

Bright & Early: Raining On Our Parade Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We can’t help but get a little bit bitter about the buckets and buckets of rain that we’re getting, especially when it starts destroying our pumpkin crops. Reports from a few weeks ago said that the rain was actually helping stave off a pumpkin shortage, but now we’re learning that it’s reducing the overall size of the pumpkins. Way to ruin everything, rain.
- News of the weird. The Murfreesboro teacher who we credit with having the creepiest mugshot/newspaper photo ever was apparently allowed to teach even after he was accused of inviting some kids over and video-taping them having sex.
- Big news for country music fans. Garth Brooks, best-selling solo artist of the 20th century, is officially ending his retirement soon and playing a big show in Vegas.
- Bits & pieces. H1N1 flu vaccine injections are here, sort of … Dickson County’s balanced budget was short-lived … Legendary blues musician Johnny Jones passed away age age 73 … Laura Bush is in Nashville … A state trooper working at the Capitol is suspended for sending out a racist email.
