comment to be added.

I'm helping to save a guy named Dave's house and land from foreclosure by promoting the Save Dave Online Auction being held on LiveJournal now through November 20, 2009.
Everything ranging from tech support and professional editing to yarn and everything knitted you can imagine. Autographed first editions and TV/movie memorabilia. Want custom or handmade jewelry, or a custom quilt or book bag? Think someone might like original art or photos (or letterpressed biz cards, or custom notecards) for Upcoming Holiday Gifting? What about baked goods People are even auctioning off surprises and taking offers for custom duct tape creations!

People who don't even know this guy Dave have brought the best of themselves to help him stay in his home. Most auctions are ending around Halloween...go check out what's on offer before it's over! And if you can, spread the word about the auction. Thanks!



i put up a small purse made of brown herringbone and blue satin for auction... you can see it here. bid if you feel so inclined :) this is a good cause and i feel good supporting it.

pix post, because they are more fun!

the parthenon - it is the only built-to-scale replica of the parthenon in the world. why is there one in nashville? i have no idea. also, it's in the middle of a beautiful park, centennial park. we love centennial park.

Photobucket
lower broadway, for honky-tonkin' and tourist watchin' (it's fun! promise!)

Photobucket
robert's western world, the best honky tonk like, ever. it was listed in esquire as one of the best bars in america, no shit.

Photobucket
paradise park is another great bar on lower broadway - themed after a trailer park (wood paneling, nascar pictures, astroturf, broken toilets, etc). their in-house country band sucks big balls, but that can easily be avoided if you go earlyish on a weeknight.

Photobucket
printer's alley downtown, if only because it makes absolutely no fuckin sense in comparison with the rest of that area.

Photobucket
drivin down I-65 to view our gorgeous(tiny) skyline.

Photobucket
THE BATMAN BUILDING.

Photobucket
cafe coco for beerz and delicious hummus at 3AM.

Photobucket
dragon park so we can climb all over the dragon!

Photobucket
great escape - a huge record/comic book store that is huge enough to have two locations *and* a discount outlet.

Photobucket
pancake pantry is world-famous for it's pancakes. and yes, the line is that long pretty much every morning. it's worth it, promise.

Photobucket
gigi's cupcakes. the pink lemonade ones are my fave.

Photobucket
red door saloon. the decor is one third voodoo/skulls, one third PBR, and one third old style beer. the owner is a big cubs fan.

Photobucket
the patterson house is an uber hoity-toity bar where the cheapest cocktail is $11. the drinks are AMAZING, though - they have fresh fruit, fresh herbs, essential oils (i know that sounds weird, bear with me here) and they put on a little show when they make it in front of you. all the bartenders wear collared shirts and vests.

Photobucket
vanderbilt campus has the prettiest gardens and millions of trees. and squirrels, if you're into that kind of thing.

Photobucket
rivergate mall isn't really anything special, except it is one of the trashiest malls EVAR with prime people-watching opportunities.

Photobucket
nashville public library - i've been told it's one of the biggest libraries in the US at 300k sq ft. it has a courtyard in the middle (the library is a circle) with a fountain and lots of flowers and greenery. the library is 3 stories tall with marble staircases and tons of artwork everywhere. it is *beautiful*.

Photobucket
provence breads and cafe is like panera on CRACK. everything is handmade and local... they have dozens of cheeses, all-natural breads (like, the ingredients are flour, water, yeast... etc. nothing you can't pronounce), amazing sandwiches and coffee drinks... but the best part is the desert selection. cakes and pies and cookies and pastries and these lemon sun cookies and creme brulee and omg i'm going to provence this weekend.

Photobucket
the opryland hotel - i guess it's the biggest non-casino hotel in america? anyway, all that shit in the picture is INDOORS. it's this amazing winter wonderland during christmas. last time i went, they had gingerbread houses that were like, big enough for me to walk in.

gah, i love nashville.
so, who is coming to visit me??

  had a productive weekend! i finished the foyer (all that was left was some basic cleaning... and uhh i didn't get all the paint off the floor, whoops!), painted the hallway, painted picture frames, and hung shelves in the sewing room closet. i ended up not painting the inside of the closet... i may end up doing it at a later time, but i didn't have money to buy paint, so i was going to just use the rest of the green leftover from the sewing room and it was really fucked up and thin and watery and... oily. i don't even know. i gave up. then i fucked up the anchors for the shelves *and* broke my drill bit. fuck fuck fuck shit piss.

anyway, everything has been cleaned and put away. here are some pictures:
about 30 pictures, sry )
i guess that's it. let's talk about my walls, plz.

  west side news: a real shitty, but free, publication available downtown. they have a section called "ticked off!" that's basically a bunch of short rants anonymously submitted. this just in today:

"well, i'd like to put my two cents in. i had company, and we went to shoney's. they were too crowded, so we went to applebee's. there were about eight of us, and we were very embarassed because they said that if we wanted bread, we would have to pay for it. most places just bring bread out as long as you want. so, we were kind of upset about that. i think we ordered just a few pieces. we didn't get any more bread, not even with our meal. so, if you want to eat at applebee's, be sure to bring some rolls or something."



words cannot describe the way i feel right now.
