Eternal Summers is the next show I plan on hitting up Would love to see Bully the next day but I'll be out of town Stoked to see the USMNT this Friday. I'm planning on seeing Scherzer pitch in Atlanta on Thursday. Should be a sweet end to the week
I wasn't in a fraternity at IU but my friends who were always went there on their formals and they always said it was great I never ate there either from what I remember
I never ate there either I do remember the radio commercial "wanna be seen at the stockyard" back in the day
I loved the place just for it being a classy place. Food was great as well. Sentimentally, I have pictures of my grandfather and father, when my father was a kid in the 50's, selling cattle and standing on the stairs of the stockyard bank when that's what it used to be.
After tomorrow Obama will have made 3 visits to TN in the past 18 months and Haslam won't have been on hand to meet him once What a gigantic piece of shit
politics aside, I despise Haslam. Rich boy, average intelligence, another billionaire Governor politics considered, I hate him more
I have written several letters to the IU AD and a letter or two to the MBA headmaster But nothing compares to the scathing email I just sent Haslam Hopefully it actually gets read
so you know all the gyro places down gallatin pike? pizza & steak, solomon's, cizar's, Chicago, etc... well I've eaten most, Solomon's is pretty good, Chicago is consistent... but man... I just had the Pomegranate marinated chicken sandwich (nothing else) at Cizar's.... holy fuck was that good. less than 4 bucks, pretty filling and goddamn good
does anyone ever watch the fireworks in North Nashville? g/fs family has a hotel there, about 1.5 miles due north of the farmer's market. trying to think of a vantage place nearby, close to germantown maybe the jefferson street bridge
little harpeth is doing this event with TN brewworks, looks like they have a nice view http://littleharpethbrewing.com/events.php
"Last year you praised Tim Corbin for being a man of character and for running his program the right way. Yet, you have no understanding of what character is and come from a family with a history of not doing things the right way. Perhaps you do have character, just not the kind that fosters an inclusive environment where individuals most in need of society's help are prioritized." "Have a great Fourth of July! There will be hundreds of thousands of people in this state needlessly suffering while you are enjoying it." Boom, head shot.
Justin Timberlake bought 126 acres on Hwy 96 in Leiper's Fork That's along the route I take on my way down Hwy 100 to Franklin when I ref soccer games out there Perhaps I'll be invited to stop by sometime
Went to hops and crafts tonight for half off drafts. Cool place. Saw one of the most smoking hot bandy girls walking by Sat Co tonight. Lord
I would drive by that field all the time from my house to my friends house. Some decent pizza by there
Unfortunately it's too cloudy to see Jupiter and Venus. Fucking wanted to see this all month and mother nature screws us on D-day. D'oh! the reason my dad is smarter than me is because at dinner tonight he calmly explained to me that despite the fact the governor should always be on hand when the POTUS visits his state, in this particular state the politics are so toxic just appearing with Obama can completely sabotage his long-awaited proposal to address the Medicaid expansion deal. How sad is that? I guess I forgot the moment Obama put funding for Dean's stupid AMP project in his budget (Dean and Freeman are boys and Freeman was Obama's biggest fundraiser in TN at one point fwiw) Lee Beaman went and got the Koch brothers involved and then the TN GOP shut it down
http://www.grimeys.com/instores/ If you buy his CD or Vinyl you get a wristband and are guaranteed to see the show plus he signs your poster.
What does this dude sing that I should listen to? Seems like an awesome opportunity to see a private-ish show. Also I don't like that the Tennessean advertised it....gotta think its going to be close to sold out at this point :(
The person that introduced Obama today was someone who rents from my step mom. My step mom got to shake Obama's hand as well. Thanks Obama. /neatstorybro
New details are out regarding the apparent abrupt closing of Midtown restaurant Bound'ry, as co-owner Brian Gruber responded to inquiries with a statement, which subsequently was posted on the restaurant's Facebook page earlier this evening: The Bound’ry will be closing for renovations, however the kitchen will remain open and our catering business will be going strong. We currently have catering events on the books through the end of the year – not only in the banquet sections of the restaurant but also off-site. The Bound’ry will continue to provide excellent cuisine to catering customers while we make the changes necessary to bring new energy and excitement to our dining rooms. Initial reports were that all employees were let go, but Gruber tells Eater via email that that's not entirely the case: "We kept part of the catering staff and we are allowing employees to pick up catering shifts." And the front door signage that read "closed for renovations 6/29 - 7/5"? Gruber says that no timeline has been set for the remodeling to be completed. While Gruber's official statement would make it sound as though Bound'ry will be back, a mass unannounced axing of employees, reports that peg lack of business as a primary reason for the shutter and no clear re-opening timeframe certainly don't bode well for the future. But as always, be sure to check back for updates.
Gruber played OL at VU back in the day and became best friends with Joe Davis who owns Gold Rush, Boundry and South Street. Davis is Dean's brother in law. He backed over his own child a couple years ago despite likely having a car with one of those rear cameras Davis is one of the biggest drunks in town. That's probably why one of his establishments is among the city's best places to drink
The proposed bill that would have banned passengers in motor vehicles from having open containers did not pass. Bunch of new laws took effect today but that wasn't one of them

Been a beautiful morning/early afternoon so far. Trying to enjoy it on a patio until those storm clouds finish rolling in. Fireworks tomorrow are supposed to be the biggest show in the country.
