Happy Hour: When The Circus Came To Town (And Never, Ever Left)

Don’t forget! There’s a big debate going down between Basil Marceaux and some other candidates we haven’t heard of tonight at Scarritt Bennett at 6:30pm. Sadly, our other favorite candidate James Reesor declined to participate. [Post Politics] More importantly, tomorrow is election day and you should not forget to vote. Even if it’s just for [...]

Happy Hour: Keep The Music Playing

Congressman Jim Cooper toured the Schermerhorn today and it’s still looking pretty pitiful. Get well soon, Nashville Symphony! [WKRN] Bloody mattress and bed bug horror stories aside, the Metro Health Department found that the Stadium Inn is in tip-top shape. For the Stadium Inn. [WTVF] Kids are starting school next week (already!?) and it looks [...]

Happy Hour: Crank It To Eleven

FEMA has approved more than $118 million in aid for flood victims so far, and the Small Business Administration has doled out nearly $10 million in loans. [WTVF] We’re not sure what to think of this new public art installation, but anything that involves a “massive and indestructible crank” (challenge!) at least deserves a chance, [...]

Happy Hour: The David Briley Show!

After going back and forth a few times, Eric Crafton has decided that he’s definitely not showing up for the English Only debate with David Briley on NPT and definitely isn’t sending someone into the fire in his place. So uh, looks like David Briley will be arguing with himself. [Pith In The Wind] The [...]

Happy Hour: This Is When It Gets Ugly

Following the joint press conference with Mayor Dean and Gov. Bredesen this morning, Loews Vanderbilt Hotel owner and Nashville For All Of Us leader Tom Negri was nearly run over by a woman who was trying to steal an anti-English Only yard sign from outside the election commission. Police were called, but the woman was [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Happy Hour: Let The Games Begin

Check out the live C-SPAN Debate cam for some riveting live footage of the media tent. It might get rowdy later with Anheuser-Busch’s tent next door. [CSPAN] There’s also some footage of Barry’s motorcade rolling down Wedgewood and turning onto 12th Ave. earlier this afternoon. [Pith In The Wind] All eyes are on us! Well, [...]

Bright & Early: We Can See Georgia From Our House Edition

Good morning, Nashville. The Vice Presidential debate is upon us (8pm CST!) and Nashvillians are excited. Last week, Nashville and Memphis both made the list of top 5 cities that viewed the first presidential debate (Nashville at 44% and Memphis at 49.5%). It looks like the viewing party options are limited this time around with [...]
