I'm checking out Music in the City tonight. It's put on by Nashville Lifestyles. Back in the day Nashville Lifestyles would have just been the Society Pages in the local newspaper, but now I guess rich people need a whole magazine.  I'm looking forward to the Lady Antebellum portion of the evening. 
The show is at the Tin Roof, I'm not usually a fan of this place. It's got that overgrown frat boy feel that is soooooooooo 2005 for me.  Personally, I feel like if you've seen one guy in a polo shirt and khakis, you've seen them all. Also the place has a tendency to resemble a frat house orgy if you stumble in after midnight. Skinny, blonde girls stumbling in stilettos.  Bleh.

Today, I am also pimping, I mean promoting! my friend's new website WinePoor. It's all about people with champagne tastes and beer budgets.  Actually it's about people with wine tastes and beer budgets but you get my point! And it's great. Check it out if you are looking for a new spot to try a good Pinot Noir, or a cheap AND sophisticated date.

Quote of the weekend:

"If I were a lion, I would find the shy girl in the corner…and bang her." -The Artist

The Artist and I are spending a bunch of time together again. We basically had a 24 hour marathon from Friday night to Saturday night which involved: watching world cup soccer way too early in the morning, a very yummy breakfast where I insisted that a Kosher beef hot dog was in fact a perfectly respectable breakfast food, a visit to the Frist Center for the visual arts to see the new Egypt exhibit, yet more World Cup Soccer watching in an honest-to-goodness beer garden drinking Stella Artois, a stroll through the "Redneck Festival" that is the CMA Musical Fest weekend, dinner in an Irish pub, and whew! swimming in the pool. And on the 7th day We Rested.

Then I couldn't seem to avoid him on Sunday despite trying to desperately, but that's probably because we live in the same neighborhood. Ohmigoodness: I AM the "girl-next-door"
Weird.

I also went out with a new friend whom shall be referred to as the Teddybear, because he is this huge man, he's got to be 6'4" and he's big. He's a bouncer at a club and studying to be a nurse. He also has this quiet gentleness about him. He took me to Bourbon Street Blues and Boogey which had an awesome funk and blues band with a complete horn section. That was so much fun. It was a big treat for me. I love live music. And the Teddybear just took me out to be nice and cheer me up. After we left the Blues club we ended up running into the Med Student's friends and singing karaoke for awhile. I can't say it didn't give me some pleasure for Med Student's friends to see me having fun after I was treated so harshly.
I went shopping with my friend Pete. We did the whole Target, Home Depot, thing. Well, he bought stuff, basically I just told him what to buy. And what he absolutely should not buy.
I tried out a new church in Nashville. Belmont United Methodist Church. You can check it out here: www.belmontumc.org I was very impressed. I got a really good feeling there. The people were nice, a diverse crowd, and an intelligent sermon. And a beautiful sanctuary. Only problem I didn't see many people my age. Still, I think I will go again.
Actually it was as close to a great weekend as a girl can hope for. Especially given I didn't spend any money.
I live a charmed life.
