Nashville = lots of fun. Nashville with amyth, Jess, juliana, and smonster? Made of awesome, y'all.
Karaoke in Nashville? Hilarious to an INCREDIBLE degree.
Totally! And juliana's being modest and not mentioning her fabulous rendition of "Proud Mary" (obnoxious drunk air-guitaring spotlight-stealing chick notwithstanding), all sexy and growly and fantastic. That was so much fun.
(I put my name in for Dolly Parton's "9 to 5" but the list was way too long, so we had to leave before my turn came up. Sad!)
Other highlights of the weekend: touring the Ryman, buying a ridiculous number of boots, eating Jack's Bar-B-Que, winning Haunted Tavern Tour shotglasses (Team Winchester for the win!), attempting to track down Fernet and instead being given free drinks by the bar owner (who, to nobody's surprise, had met juliana a few months ago in SF) when no Fernet was forthcoming, and then--possibly my favorite part--waking up on Sunday morning to discover that the early birds had gone down and procured a huge (and hangover-curing) breakfast spread for us all, followed by several hours of lazing around the hotel suite, watching country music videos (oh yes), and just hanging out and talking.
Sigh. Can every weekend be a Buffista weekend?
I think it was the combination of all of us - I misremember who found the Haunted Tavern tour, but that was a brilliant idea (plus, trivia! The categories were Alcohol, Scary Movies, and Music and the prize was a shot glass. The other teams didn't really have a chance). Kate P. was the one who drove the karaoke (we didn't go looking for it, but we found it anyway). I did have a mile-long list of bars to go to and people to talk to.
And, as smonster said, the problem in Nashville is not finding live music &/or the party, it's avoiding it.
watching country music videos (oh yes)
It was decided that Toby Keith, while still frighteningly pop-country, is one sexy hunk of a man with big hands (also a Democrat, so we LOVE).
Y'all are making me miss Nashville.

That was VERY sad. I wanted to hear you sing!

that'd be nice....
So which of you is going to start pimping it for the F2F? (Because I would totally be down for that.)
A Democrat? I did not know that.
I thought we'd decided on a rest stop in Jersey.
I would be ALL OVER Nashvegas for a F2F, but I thought the lack of localistas was a drawback?
There's the Joyce Kilmer rest stop on the turnpike. We could all recite "Trees" in between banging on the vending machines and passing toilet paper beneath the stalls.
I am so very jealous. Nashville! With those incredible women!
