Feathered Friend & Musical Love

My inanimate feathered friend , the one in my hair, is my new favorite piece of "jewelry" to wear. Its from Fire Finch- of course! Also in the new favorites category is the band, Novelift. They have been around Nashville for a couple years, I believe, but I've just recently gotten into them. And now I can't stop. I could listen to "a Lullabye Sketch Idea" forever. Hopefully they play around town soon! Until then, check out their music here!

This is the CUTEST thing I have ever seen! Made my day.

Your Itinerary

It's almost time for the First Saturday Downtown Art Event! Yipeee!!!
Here is my suggestion:
Start the evening off eating dinner with friends at Downtown Presbyterian's Art Luck Dinner (I have 3 pieces here).
Walk up Fifth to the Arcade and peruse the many sights.
Saunter over to Eighth (also Rosa Parks Blvd) for Estel's new exhibition.
Now down Broadway for some tourist watching and to the Take 121 gallery on Third.
Still wanting more? My illustrious employer, Susan, and April will be keeping the Downtown Fire Finch open until 8:30.
Or, directly across from Take 121, visit Past Perfect (a cozy bar spot). Channing Lee and Quinn Matthews will be performing at 9:00. They are great, and there is no cover at the door!

Oscar was in Nashville Last Night!

Beth Gilmore and I strike our best red carpet poses! I think I need to work on mine a little!!!

In case you've been living in a hole in the ground, the Oscar Awards were last night. Was it the most exciting awards ceremony ever? Mmmm... maybe not... but it was an exciting evening that I spent with friends at a fabulous party at the Belcourt Theater!!!
From the moment we walked in on the red carpet (complete with hysterical "paparazzi") to the screening of the show, to the tempting food and drinks, it was perfection! Details were not forgotten- we even received Oscar 2008 books, the same ones used at the live ceremony.
The event is an annual fundraiser for the historic Belcourt Theater; Nashville has quite a few unique gems and this is one of them. If you haven't been recently- get out there! The Belcourt is an independent theater that thrives on local support.
