Im heading down to Nashville next weekend...I know a lot of you went down for the Birds game last year - where do I need to go?

[rjs246]

This is what I remember of Nashville:
Cheap beer everywhere.
Good BBQ everywhere.
Good, cheap rocknroll bars.
Shirtless hbionic dancing in the street.
Matt throwing things.

Details, eh, I don't remember those so good.

The area in/around Printer's Alley is where most of the bars are.  Broadway has a lot of bars, restaurants and shtein too.  There's also a Flying Saucer if you're into that sort of thing.   

Also, next weekend is Beerfest.

If I'm not mistaken, they had this going on last year when we went.

sweet - going down to vandy w a few clients - budweiser included, pretty sure we'll be doing our own beerfest

you sound like you have a sweet job DH.

me, on the other hand...drove 7 hours yesterday morning to Blacksburg to VaTech's campus to be at a project meeting that I "had to be at" it lasted 35 minutes and I had nothing else to do down there so i cancelled my hotel and drove home.

14 hours driving, 35 minute meeting.

holy shtein, thats maddening..and im sure you could have skyped or whatever from home in your undies and been just as effective.

not a doubt in the world, in fact they had people conferencing in from other locations on Windows Live Meeting.  but when i brought that option up last week to the contractor they said that in person attendance was mandatory.

[ice grillin you]

shtein you had a free hotel....i would have gotten blotto in blacksburg....then used today to drive back and not have to work

[DH]

not me, nothing I hate more than being in a town I dont know, with no one around and nothing but a hotel to go back to - which happens a lot.

Sunny can get drunk at home; why do it there?

[ice grillin you]

Any chance the fact that you/your company made the effort was not overlooked?

I'd have driven back home, too.  I hate hotels.
