Fans attending will receive a free opening night t-shirt, and there will be other festivities including a pre-game party on the plaza.

I will begin this writing with yet another glimpse of someone I was in my past. I am not really sure where I got the idea; perhaps it was from the movie “Fight Club;” perhaps it was something that I read. I just know that one day I decided that I wanted to attend some “anonymous” meetings. You know: the ones for alcoholics, drug addicts, food addicts and sex addicts. I remember clearly looking these meetings up in the Yellow Pages. Over the span of a few weeks I attended various meetings. I never spoke. I merely listened to others as they poured out their lives with addiction. I know that initially I went for the gossip-column feel. I wanted to hear the juicy stories of others as they discussed what they had done. Each meeting was progressively worse for me, and the voyeuristic approach to the pain of others was losing its appeal. My last meeting involved someone telling what appeared at her low point of sexual addiction. The story made me cringe and made me want to cry. However, I knew that I wouldn’t be crying for her but because of my failure as a human to want to enjoy her pain on some perverted level. That was my last meeting, which was about 10 years ago. I am still ashamed of what I did, and even telling it now makes me think of what a lowlife I once was. .

The I’m Too Young for This! Cancer Foundation has a special history with us here at Back. We first brought them to Nashville for the inaugural I’m Still Beautiful event in 2008, our very first event as a team. Since then, the event has grown as has i2y’s presence here in town. Now, we have an official i2y Nashville chapter for young adult cancer survivors to socialize and support each other right here in our community. Heading up i2y Nashville is breast cancer survivor Tara Ellis, who you may recognize as the face on our most recent I’m Still Beautiful event poster!

This weekend is “light it up” time across the USA. Grills and Smokers will be pushed to the limit with the sole charge of the creating the perfect BBQ! Secret recipes for sauces, baked beans, potato salad, coleslaw–the list goes on—will be fought for and protected like our countries sovereignty. The casualties of war will remain untouched, neglected and abandoned strewn across tables laced with red and white gingham. But the victors will stand perched and poised after the days battles and lift that celebratory concoction—that “brew” and toast to the triumph of their valor with one drink… ice cold beer.

We’ve all read the answers here on why homes don’t sell or get showings. It’s a “no duh” moment when people say (1) it’s priced too high, (2) it needs to be staged, (3) the location is bad, (4) it’s in poor condition. We all know that. Your problem here is you’re listed with someone [...]

If you can’t tell by the title….this show is made up of a group of funny females sharing personal stories. Writer/Comedian Melanie Vare who is a stand-up comedian and the creator of the show has also been seen on Comedy Central started this hilarious event in California and has brought it all the way to Nashville. The show has been compared to “The Vagina Monologues” and rightfully so. I had the pleasure of attending the debut show in Nashville at Bongo Java After Hours Theater, which is an intimate cozy little spot above the popular coffee house. What better blend? An iced latte and a bunch of women creating laughter! When I sat in my seat I wasn’t really sure what to expect. Well actually I had some insight…..my fellow blogger Coco Warbucks was part of this talented line up as well as Melanie Vare (the creator), Paulina Combow, Amanda Elend, and Mandy-Ray Jones.
