Nashville Roll Call

[johnnYYac]

I'm staying two nights at the Comfort Inn on Demonbreun St.  My first time in Nashville.  I trust you locals to tell me where to go, before and after.  

I mentioned this before.  I originally reserved two nights at the Nashville Knights Inn, but it sounds very sketchy.  I couldn't get a refund, so there's a room available to someone if they want it.  I'm travelling alone and not quite as brave and adventurous at 42 as I was at 24.  Its on Spring St.  Goggle Google it if you're considering my offer.  I won't ask you to pay me for the room (just under $100 for two nights), but you can't blame me if you catch a disease or wake up next to a crack whore.

UPDATE:

I appreciate the sentiment, and "hemorrhaging" money might be a good characterization of my trip, but I'm still a newbie.  This trip is meant to move me out of the minor leagues.  I'm tired of savoring my one and only live MMJ experience (which you and I shared as strangers, I might add).  I still think its a bargain and I'm saving a lot of money since I quit smoking last November, so that pays for the trip.  I expect the entire 5 day/4 night/3 show trip to run under $1000.  We'll see...

And to be clear, I'm not making fun at your expense.   I must admit I can't help but chuckle when I keep seeing your posts about how you are taking losses left and right on your trip, but really - I meant it - BRAVO - you are going to have a blast and meet a bunch of cool people I bet.

Hey fellow Nashvegas-bound peeps, hows about getting a meet-up organized before the show? I gotta eat, and drink, and I want to meet more of you guys! Flyguy mentioned The Flying Saucer or Beer Sellar...has this already been taken care of and I've missed it?

Also, anybody else staying at the Doubletree?

my foursome is staying there, a group of bald or balding 40-somethings with no desire to grow old.  

would be nice to put some faces to some names, but since i have to work wednesday, looks like we'll be arriving wth little time to spare before the show.  and we're heading out early thursday to play golf on the way back home, so extra partying afterward isn't a wise move.

but if any of you happen to spot the 4 old dudes with at least one beer in each hand, don't hesitate to give a shout.

Well hell, man...here's another balding 40-something age-denier, so if I spot myself running around there I'll shout!

I hear ya on the losses.  Things do add up and I couldn't stay in that fleabag shithole in Nashville.  As far as the ticket upgrade, it hurts to pay so much and get such a low price on eBay for the other, but my regular priced ticket to MMJ in Boston was pretty much $100 all told and I could barely see the stage.  So its all good.  I keep forgetting how many on here are college students and how we are in a recession (or slowly coming out of it), and ticket prices are so ridiculous lately.  I pulled out an old ticket stub from a Grateful Dead show I saw in 1987 (making "album art" for the recording I found online).  They had Little Feat open for them and the ticket was $25.  Even that seems high.  And then all the fees, parking, etc.  Uncool.
