South and North Again
So, we're back from Nashville. Here's the (very) abridged rundown.
We hit the road more or less on time at 4:30pm. Boolah nearly overslept, but a quick phone call got him rolling. The trip up was alright. We stopped briefly in E-ville for Hooter's Wings and gas (both the vehicular type and otherwise...). From there, it was a mostly straight up drive to Nashville. We got a little confused trying to find the Pennyrile Highway outside of Henderson, KY, but otherwise the trip went well. We were all a little out of it, so conversation was a little on the light side. Only bit I can remember was when we did our "Top 5 People We'd Like to Have 5 Minutes Alone with (and not in a Sexual Way) List" in honor of the Pantera Song. Not surprisingly, our Lists consisted mostly of celebrities and politicians.
Anyway, got to Nashville, which, roadwise, is like some giant Labrynth that's constantly under construction. Very confusing. Got to Katie's in one try all the same, and bid Boolah adieu as he departed with his Lady Fair for Chattanooga. Bro, Fitchy, and myself charged into Katie's apartment. Katie greeted us, gave us a short tour. Bro and Fitch drank some Pabst, some stories were swapped, and we decided to hit a bar real quick. We went to the Flying Saucer, which had nice enough decor, but was crowded full of skinny little college kids all watching some basketball game on a big screen. We met up with a mutual acquaintance of Fitch and Katie's, hung out, other folks drank stuff, I sat around and added to the occassional story and had dirty thoughts about the waitresses who were all dressed like Naughty Schoolgirls. We closed out the bar and went to Krystal. Krystal is essentially White Castle with slightly different food. The crew ordered a 12 pack of steamed burgers, and we returned to Katie's. I can't eat slimey food past 8pm, so I passed on the burgers. No problem, Bro and Fitch wiped em out and drank more Pabst. It was 3am by now, so sleep was warranted.
I'm awake and ready to go at 7am. I stumbled into the living room (I got to sleep on the guest bed, while Bro got the living room couch, and Fitch took the floor). Fitch had never seen Pulp Fiction before, so we watched that. I quoted lines and giggled alot, which is what I do everytime I watch Pulp Fiction. The movie wrapped up, I got cleaned up, watched the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Katie got up and ready, and we rolled to breakfast. Breakfast was at a place called the, uh, Pancake Pantry (?). The line to get inside was hella long, but we entertained ourselves swapping stories. Once inside, much food was ordered. I got the Chocolate Sin, which was good, but not nearly chocolatey or sinful enough. Everyone was satisified and stuffed, so we rolled to The Great Escape, a killer resale shop which sold CDs, Videos, and Comics. I picked up a buttload of comics, Bro and Fitch scored CDs, and all was right with the Universe.
Okay, this is my third attempt at publishing this, so we're gonna get really abbreviated. Went to Tower Records. Bought DVDs. Went to another comic shop. Bought more comics. Went barhopping. Drank OJ and played Foosball poorly. Crashed at Katie's. Reunited with Boolah at Noon next day. Went home. Nashville's a nice town. The end.

Sounds like it was a fun trip. I'd like to go to nashville sometime. I've never been farther south then Iowa or Illinois whichever is farther south. Both trips were to the norther parts of the states.
