Nice pics.  You are looking like a grown man, all filled out and such in a nice way.  I don't mean to sound lecherous, just when I saw them I was all "Awe, inev isn't a boy anymore!"  I know you said some negative things about your body image recently, so just know from the outside, things look good.  Whoever took a lot of those pics has a good eye BTW.

Also, I would worry if I were in Nashville that all I would do is sit in a barbecue restaurant and eat meat all day, everyday, until I had to go home.  I mean ideally there would be authentic Nashville hometown music in the background -- maybe even a live band -- but if all I heard was the sound of my own masticulation, I'd be okay with that too.

I did not eat any BBQ or Hot Chicken, unfortunately.

Yeah, most of the pictures I posted were taken by me. There are also a few by my friend, who took great pictures all weekend. She took winners like this, this, and most importantly this.

The cute girl I stayed with is very good at covering her face in every picture. And I am very good at not being wherever my friends are when a picture is being taken. With the number of cameras around you'd think I'd be in more than one picture!

It didn't even occur to me that Nashville might have good BBQ. I wanted to eat Hot Chicken because it is a Nashville-only thing. I have heard of Memphis BBQ, Carolina BBQ, Kansas City BBQ... but not Nashville BBQ. We ate lots of delicious Mexican food, and breakfast sandwiches. Lots of strife about finding places that were vegetarian friendly. But every place we ate was delicious.

Did I mention we got an inside tour of Third Man Records, Jack White's record label? Their offices are just as insane as you would imagine. Completely filled with weird antiques, every surface is either yellow or black or white. No pictures allowed.

S_S, thanks a lot for the compliment. I think I have recently realized that I might be kind of a good looking guy.

WTF

There's your problem right there.

My laid-back boss is being transferred and replaced by the manager of another department, who is unpleasant and mean. Time to start looking seriously for jobs again.

This guy has a lot of power struggles with my current boss, mostly centered around thinking my boss is too relaxed with employees. Yikes. He is going to fire everyone and then act surprised when he can't find replacements.
If I stick around, it will be because I am disgustingly good at putting my head down and doing what I'm told. But who knows, maybe I'll pack my car up and move to Nashville. Or something.

Go to Danger Boy's special needs teacher conference and find out that he's been doing extraordinarily well in school, especially since track in, and we have no idea why. This is exactly the kind of great news that underscores the fact that I have absolutely no control or understanding.

I'm flying out there tomorrow. Any specific restaurants you recommend for breakfast sandwiches? I love me a good breakfast sandwich.

And anything else I need to check out? Record stores, honky-tonks, titty bars, whorehouses, museums? Anything like that?

Record Store: Grimey's, and next door to it, Grimey's Too. The main one is new records and CDs, and the second is music books and used stuff.

Fido and Pancake Pantry are on 21st avenue. The first has coffee and good breakfast sandwiches. I got "The Hangover." The second has pancakes.
I also liked Local Taco. Which is a taco place. They had good giraffe tacos.
Bolton's Spicy Chicken and giraffe is the place the cute girl wanted to take me, but we didn't get to go due to those vegetarians.
She is also a big fan of Las Paletas, whose paletas are sold somewhere on 21st. The actual shop is on 12th avenue.
(did I ever tell you guys that Cupcake Girl was the wrong nickname for the Popsicle Princess I dated? Apparently cute girls like Mexican Popsicles.)

The main drag downtown (Broadway) has most of the other stuff. Vintage guitar stores, Hatch Show Print (show poster printing press that has been around for like 150 years), lots of live country music.

The museum of country music is also supposed to be great.

We also stopped by Imogene + Willie because we happened to walk past it after our Paletas and coffee at Foaming Monkey (who serve the coffee roasted by my company). I had read an article about them before, because I am the kind of guy who reads articles about companies that make jeans. Really cool little shop even if you don't want any $300 jeans. They have some good boots, and Warby Parker glasses.

Resisting urge to post on Facebook to the effect of "Hey, it's Pi Day! Did you know it's Pi Day? Because it's 3/14! And pi is 3.14! Also, pi sounds like pie, and everybody loves pie. P.S. it's Pi Day, in case you hadn't heard."

But that would be kinda dickish.
