The Weekendist: Dog Days Edition
TGIF, Nashville. It’s hot. The only things we really want to do this weekend are: a) Play in a sprinkler and/or kiddie pool in the backyard b) Have a contest to see who can keep their head in the freezer the longest c) Only eat frozen things, preferably ice cream d) Build a tent over [...]
The Weekendist: Memorializing Edition
Frist Friday featuring Same As It Ever Was. Friday, May 27 at the Frist Center, 6-9pm, $10 or free for members/under 18. If this looks familiar, it’s because we wrote about it a few moments ago, so head over there to read about the summer series! Tonight’s event features Same As It Ever Was, a [...]
Bright & Early: Head Desk Edition
Good morning, Nashville. State Sen. Thelma Harper, perhaps best known for her incredible hat collection, has been holding a giant annual Easter egg hunt for almost 30 years. This year, however, someone thought it was a good idea to schedule a “Felony Friendly Job Fair” in the same place at the same time as the Easter [...]
The Weekendist: Look At The Stars Edition
So what if you didn’t get tickets to see Amos Lee at the Ryman or to the East Nashville Beer Festival? There’s plenty to do in Nashville this weekend, so stop moping around and take a trip to the Frist, the Adventure Science Center or check out a sports game. Here are our picks for [...]
Bright & Early: You’re Doing It Wrong Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Things got a little rowdy at the Vanderbilt-UT game last night when Vanderbilt mascot Mister C totally decked a Commodores fan in the face. A Commodores fan! The guy left the arena with a bloody nose and presumably a bruised ego, having been betrayed by one of his own. And in that [...]
Bright & Early: Slow And Steady Wins The Race Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Although our water situation here has been bad (Williamson folks, you’re off the hook), at least we’re not Montgomery County. Because their sewage treatment plant has been out of commission since the flood, every time they flush a toilet, the untreated waste goes straight into the Cumberland. We would like to also point out [...]
Bright & Early: Much Ado Edition
Good morning, Nashville. The Tennessee House and Senate both passed resolutions yesterday opposing the new federal health care program. The House version, sponsored by Rep. Susan Lynn and debated for two full hours, asked Congress not to pass the overhaul which actually passed several weeks ago. Rep. John DeBerry bowed out of the vote, choosing [...]
Happy Hour: Leave It To Beaver
A North Carolinian man stole a giant Statue of Liberty replica from the front yard of a Dickson County woman and it’s sort of a sad story. They caught the thief, but the statue is irreparable. [Tennessean] Another unfortunate story that leaves us with an, er, interesting headline is this one: “Baby Unhurt After Being [...]
Nashville Sounds Introduce Thirsty-ish Throwback Thursdays
After lamenting the absence of Thirsty Thursdays last season at the newly-renovated Greer Stadium, we’re excited to deliver news of a new Nashville Sounds season promo day that’s so close to the Thirsty Thursdays of olde, we can taste it. The Nashville Sounds will introduce “Throwback Thursdays” this year, offering hot dogs, pretzels, nachos, sodas [...]
Happy Hour: MILK AND BREAD, MILK AND BREAD
The trusty fleet of TDOT salt trucks are already hitting the road to prepare for that Gigantic Winter Storm we’re supposed to get on Thursday. They’ll probably be slathering the pavement with some of that beet juice we heard about a few weeks ago, which lowers the freezing point of the salt mixture. [WKRN] Governor [...]
