I got to see She & Him at the Ryman tonight! For those who don’t know, Zooey and Matt are my OTP. Their set was amazing—I’m a sucker for cover songs, and they did everything from “Roll Over Beethoven” with Matt on lead vocals and shredding guitar to “Wouldn’t it Be Nice” with Zooey on ukulele. I’ve seen Matt live before and knew he would be great, but I was pleasantly surprised that Zooey sounds as good live as she does on the records. And of course, the Ryman was wonderful as always.
“Wouldn’t it Be Nice” may have been my favorite moment of the evening.
I love the Ryman but the balcony seats seem to have less room than the floor. I didn’t fit very well.
The old boiler building next door to Werthan is going to be a bar by the end of next summer. I am sad our lease will be up by then but also happy for a casual addition to Germantown.

We’re heading out to the Wilson County Fair tonight after a year hiatus. I can’t wait.
Rednecks on the radio were raising a stink about this story. They cited poor handwriting as a problem of today’s youth and that the use of iPads in the classroom will only increase the problem.
I have a problem with people not accepting the possibility that this is good. I believe these whiners are disconnected from education and should go back to saving money for their Tea Party conventions.
I feel saucy today. :-)

It rained a lot yesterday.

“Flood” & “Hell” are hilarious. Blizzard makes us sound like pussies… which we are.

Dear Nashville,
I understand that it looks like I urinated with my shorts on. I am mostly certain it was from sweat. Nevertheless, please stop staring at my kibbles and bits.
Love, Tyler
Neko Case cancelled her TPAC show. I had awesome seats in the first row of the balcony too.

I mentioned a poster three weeks ago that listed Nashville neighborhoods. Beth & I planned to buy a print as soon as we found it. But the following day Beth got the idea to have two other posters made for Central Illinois, our home area, and Southern Illinois, our home through college. We created two lists of places and sent them to Hannah, the artist, who quickly sent backs some comps.
Poof! Our bare, living room wall is home to meaningful, custom art from a Nashvillian.
We bought an Effingham print for Holly since she has desired more items on her walls and is moving to a new apartment. I was happy we were there to see her open it when it arrived on Tuesday of last week.
I noticed a man in Minneapolis who was on our flight and wore slacks with a matching Red Sox hat and jersey. He also had a very pronounced belly.
This morning I saw a cyclist approaching me on 18th. I could only see a matching hat and baseball jersey at first. I immediately thought of the pudgy Red Sox fan. As the car between us moved, I confirmed my hunch. Hello small world.
