apparently Ed wasnt on the electronics fast as we were.
his blog caught me by surprise…hence the title?
sorta.
let me explain.
starts with an N…and ends with an ASHVILLE
give up?
okay i’ll tell.
WERE IN NASHVILLE!!!
i know, i know…we beat the odds, we conquered the villians, we fought the law. and we won.
not entirely.
but we did indeed make it.
rolled into the Blood Water headquarters on friday around…i think it was maybe 3-ish?
heavy on the ish…light on the 3
so what have we done?
well, we hung out with the Blood Water fellas and fella-ets (<–read one of my past posts to get that one) and then they showed us a great spot for dinner. PM i think was the name. just PM. but im not sure. they had this really good burger…and i got sushi!
oh yummy delight!
i dont even know what that means but that sums it up.
and then we walked down into a part of the town that has all the cute shops and coffee shops and what-not.
then walked back to Belmont University in which we are staying. and we slept.
and we not only slept, but we slept in.
glorious!
then we woke up…walked to the pancake pantry and had a wonderful brunch, and the hashbrowns there are amazing! you know, just incase your in the area and need a bite to eat.
be prepared for a wait tho, we waited about an hour.
then we started our first de-brief. we had to go out and buy one thing for $5 that sums up the trip for us.
i had a most difficult time, but in the end i found what was searching for me at A Thousand Faces.
and after i was done i took a stroll to a tattoo shop and got me some ink.
im not joking either. its a sweet tat. sorry if it offends anyone. its just kinda what i like and its the souvenier(SP?!?) that i wanted to take back with me from Nashville and the trip.
the day still isnt over…oh no. the best is yet to come
actually, it is over, but not in this story. so hold tight, for my audience, the best is yet to come…
Ten out of Tenn
its ten artists out of Tennessee
and we saw them play at a local venue
and it was absolutely delightful
what they did in the show was…instead of having their band up there, they played lead and vocals while the other people played the other instruments.
let me explain that better…*so john doe would go up and play guitar and sing while stanly white plays drums (the drummer was the same for everyone). john doe would then finish and introduce vocal vicky, and while miss vicky is playing lead guitar and singing vocals, john doe is now playing bass. misss vicky finishes and then introduces rythm randy, and missss vicky now switches to tambourine, while mr doe stays on bass and randy is taking up lead and vocals.*
trust me, it was sweet. it was like watching a play and being at a concert.
double the trouble, double the fun.
and thats the end of the day.
dont know whats up for tomorrow. but its gona be cool.
how do i know?
were in Nashville, dude.
you could trip on the sidewalk and it would be cool.
people of California, what are you waiting for.
come visit.
you owe it to yourself.
just make sure to not stop in or drive through Kansas.
alright, its like…oh, 1am or something.
so im going to sleep.
hope this sorta sums up whats going on in our lives.
oh, i totaly didnt talk about missouri at all.
i voted it most fun to cycle through.
there were lots of little hills, like maybe a couple hundred feet elevation gain at most. most were prolly more around, i dunno…40-58? i totally pulled that number out of nowhere so dont quote me at all.
anywho, they were short and steep and fun.
except for one hill.
it sucked.
but missouri was sweet overall. and we got to chill with a youth group and talk at it, and it was sweet.
okay. goodnight.
oh…
