Booze and Nashville: Basically our two favorite things to write about. TPAC will kick off year two of their “The Art of” series with “The Art of Jack Daniel’s” on Thursday, October 20. Jack’s Master Taster Jeff Norman will walk participants through a tasting of four of their signature whiskeys and explain the history, use [...]
Bright & Early: Manic Tuesday Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We’re running behind, so you know the drill. Your abbreviated Bright & Early: Sun is in the forecast today! Lots of sun! Hallelujah. [Nashville WX] If you see a big disturbance and a bunch of flashing emergency lights around the airport today and tomorrow, don’t freak out! They’re just doing their annual [...]
Bright & Early: Can’t Take The Heat Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We interrupt this edition Bright & Early to set the record straight on something very important: With hot chicken popping up everywhere from Church’s to some random diner in Michigan, it is absolutely vital that we remember that hot chicken started here in Nashville. No matter who tries to claim it or how many [...]
Bright & Early: Shoot For The Moon Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Mayor Dean spent Labor Day up in New York trying to woo a group of World Cup officials into selecting Nashville as a finalist for hosting the 2018 or 2022 World Cup. This idea has been floating around for a while, and Nashville is one of the 18 US cities in the [...]
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 [...]
Happy Hour: Yes, We’re Still Giggling About The Tree
We asked our Twitter friends for some artistic renderings of the Great Christmas Tree Incident of ’09 and they delivered. The above piece was submitted by Twitterers @the_beer_snob and @tndotcom, and you can see a few of our other favorites by @missbethd, @thomasruns, @justwinston, @tarajackson and @freakyweasel. Keep ‘em coming! The Christmas tree wasn’t the [...]
The Weekendist: So Many Crawfish, So Little Time Edition
FRIDAY Merrell Crawfish Boil, LP Field, 4 pm.

GWAR, Exit/In, 9 pm. If giant monster costumes, buckets of [...]
Saving Local Arts: Why We Need Tennessee Rep [Bailouts]
We definitely can’t claim to be theater buffs around here, but we’ll never forget the folks who gave us our first taste of Nashville’s local professional theater scene: the Tennessee Repertory Theater. Back in October, the Rep began a series of look-ins, or sneak peeks, for their shows which gave the community a chance to [...]
The Weekendist: Not Quite Snowed In
By the looks of the weather forecast, it’s not going to be the best weekend to be traipsing about. Luckily, we’ve got you covered with more than a few things going on indoors and far away from that massive flurry-blizzard-thing that will probably turn out to be rain anyway. FRIDAY Joan Baez @ TPAC. We’re [...]
Happy Hour: When Love Strikes
Good news for the droves of people flocking to the county clerk to get married on Valentine’s Day! Since it’s on a Saturday this year, everyone was afraid they’d be closed. But fortunately they’ll be keeping their doors open, marrying folks from 9am-3pm in St. Valentine’s Chapel of Love, handing out commemorative Valentine’s Day marriage [...]
