Happy Hour: Surrendering To The ‘Roo
- The Bonnaroo lineup has been trickling out all day and so far includes The Flaming Lips, Weezer, GWAR, Dave Matthews Band, She & Him, Jay-Z, and holy crap we’re salivating already. Stay glued to Mobileroo, the Tennessean‘s killer Bonnaroo hub, for all the latest additions. [Tennessean]
- Metro is snatching up a span of riverfront property for that mysterious and fun-sounding “adventure play park” that they’ve been plotting for quite some time now. The park will take up at least part of an LP Field parking lot. [WPLN]
- State Rep. Curry Todd has proposed a bill that would ban all alcohol sales (including bars and restaurants) after midnight, “because nothing good happens after midnight.” [WKRN]
- Metro Police made the largest pot bust in the city’s history, arresting nine people and seizing 4,000 pounds of marijuana. [WKRN]

Will You ‘Roo? Bonnaroo 2010 Lineup & Tickets Available Today
The internets are all ablaze today due to Bonnaroo’s excruciatingly-slow lineup leak for the 2010 festival. While the flashy animated cuckoo clock on their Myspace is cute for about three seconds, if they don’t finish the announcements soon, we’ll be on our way to the festival before they’re done telling us who’s playing. Speaking of heading to Bonnaroo, tickets are going fast – we’re already looking at the third price tier ($234.50 plus fees) or more if you didn’t get tickets the minute they went on sale.
Bonnaroo has already announced headliners Jay-Z, Dave Matthews Band and Kings of Leon, and we should be seeing a Stevie Wonder announcement pretty soon. Other officially-announced acts include:

Bright & Early: Why The Heck Is It Still Snowing Edition
Good morning, Nashville. So how about that surprise snowstorm last night? Here we were expecting a small dusting and then the sky started falling. After all the slush clears out this morning, we’ll see temperatures drop from Cold to Very Cold. According to the weatherfolk over at Nashville WX, we could have another Situation brewing towards the end of the month. In the meantime, we’re looking at some more wintry weather on Friday and then maybe some more next week and… oi. We’re pretty much going to have snow coming out our ears by the end of February.
- Vetoing the veto. Governor Phil’s calorie count bill veto was overridden in the state House yesterday after being overridden in the Senate as well. The bill would require that only elected officials, rather than appointed health boards, could decide whether or not to require restaurants to post calorie counts.
- Library merge. Metro school libraries could soon be merged with Nashville’s public library system once the program is tested out in three local high schools. The plan has been in the works for about a year now, and Mayor Dean will announce the pilot program today.
- Bits & pieces. A Dickson man found $72,000 in cash and checks lying around in the snow and returned it to the nursing home it belonged to … People are still trying to save the Fairgrounds … News Channel 5 is getting called out all over the internet this morning for a controversial investigative piece on an Islamic community in Tennessee.
