Here in Middle Tennessee, the day that Bonnaroo music festival’s lineup is announced is practically a holiday. The Manchester, TN festival, which this year will be June 9- 12, announced many of the artists this morning. It’s going to be a great time!

I took last weekend off and spent it in Louisville, our unassuming neighbor to the north. I wasn’t sure what to expect from the city. It had been a while since I’d visited. I stayed at the 21c, a gem of a hotel right downtown that features an impressive collection of contemporary art. And bourbons. The people were extraordinarily friendly and the accommodations were appropriately luxe. In short, I thoroughly enjoyed my time away.

In an article released today, Urbanpohile.com asks, “Is Nashville the next boomtown of the New South?” The short answer is yes, counting ambition as a big reason: our multi-lane highways, high rise condo buildings, and 1.2 million square foot convention center as a “why not us?” response to Atlanta and Charlotte. Also, our low costs and taxes compared with other southern cities, and the way we embrace our heritage are among other reasons listed.

A few months ago one of my days was spent doing laundry, cleaning, and generally being domestic. It was one of those rare days when my phone did not start ringing and beeping regularly until around 2 PM.

I happened to catch the announcement of the nominees for the 2011 Academy Awards this morning. Now it was quite by accident. I don’t usually set my TiVo for this, but the TV was on as I passed by and there was Monique from Precious and some gray-haired man telling the world who the best actors and actresses of last year are. So I stopped and watched.

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.
