Happy Hour: Hug A Hilltopper
Big news this afternoon as the Western Kentucky campus and several local schools were put on lockdown after some gunmen dressed in black were reportedly running around Pierce-Ford Tower (that giant dorm on Main Campus). The lockdown was lifted a little while ago and five students were taken into custody. We’re happy to report that [...]
Bright & Early: Feelin’ Frosty Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Hopefully you brought your plants inside last night since we had our first frost of the season. And though we were a little sad to hang up the flip flops this weekend, we’ve always bragged that Tennessee is one of the best places in the world to be in the fall. We’re [...]
Happy Hour: Raining On Our Parade
Well guys, with 57.7% of the city tuning into last night’s debate, we’d say we won. [Tennessean]
Even some country stars got in on the action! [WTVF]
Speaking of that, as promised, we managed to dig up the disastrous video footage of John Rich performing a rousing rendition of “Raisin’ McCain” on the CBS Early Show in [...]
Bright & Early: Business As Usual Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We’re pretty exhausted after our epic night in the international spotlight, and what’s all this about water falling from the sky? It’s raining, you say? We’ll believe it when we see it. At any rate, the candidates are pulling out of town as we speak, trying to put last night’s colorful debate [...]
Bright & Early: D-Day Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Debate Day is finally here, and it’s already gotten off to an interesting start, complete with motorcade traffic all over Broadway and John Rich getting mobbed by Obama supporters on the CBS Early Show (look for that one on Youtube later). We don’t really know what else to say, except that we [...]
Bright & Early: Ballin’ Edition
Good morning, Nashville. It was a win-win weekend for us in the football department… well, make that a win-win-win. Not only did the Titans make quick work of the Ravens in Baltimore (stretching their record to 5-0), but TSU mowed right over UT-Martin 30-27 in overtime, and who can forget Vandy? In a complete upset, [...]
Happy Hour: Have A Comcastic Weekend
Following suit with the TVA and NES, Comcast is getting ready to jack up their rates by 3.5%. AT&T says they’re coming to the rescue, though. [WKRN]
Speaking of bills and such, if you’re not registered to vote, you may be totally excited to hear that you can register to vote while you pay your astronomically [...]
Raisin’ McCain At The Belmont Mansion [John Rich]
If John McCain is going to be anywhere in the vicinity, then we know John Rich probably isn’t too far away. Tuesday’s debate is no exception since we’ve just learned that Rich will be at the Belmont Mansion early Tuesday morning to show off his rhinestone Wranglers to the world on a special live filming [...]
Bright & Early: Oh Yes They Can Edition
Good morning, Nashville. With just four days (and 10 hours and 52 minutes…) until the Belmont Debate-Oh-Eight, there’s no telling what the local political junkies have up their sleeves. Well, we can tell you one thing: Obama supporters are plotting a 4pm march from Hillsboro Village to Belmont’s campus on Tuesday evening, which should be [...]
Happy Hour: Things With Wings
West Nile: The gift that just keeps giving! [WSMV]
Looks like we’ll be seeing Bret Michaels around town for a while, though not under the greatest circumstances. A member of his crew fell asleep behind the wheel on his way to their next date in Illinois and crossed the median, killing two young women. Michaels has [...]
