In the past week and a half, I’ve seen New York light up from the top of the Rockefellar Center, crossed an ocean, watched the sunrise over the coast of France, checked out the Eiffel Tower and London from the sky, sipped wine in the Paris airport, partied in the Edinburgh Castle, walked through a palace, ridden through a fake distillery in a whiskey barrel, explored an underground city, chased some bagpipes, spotted some unicorns, hung out with my family, flown over Iceland and Greenland, eaten Bolton’s spicy chicken and spent the better part of a day hunting down pumpkin ale around Nashville.
Now I’m just appreciating home before I turn around and leave it again. Next up: Sufjan and sibling time.

Above on the left is Apache Relay, who are responsible for this song and for that time I was crammed into someone’s bedroom with Mumford & Sons and Jake Gyllenhaal. On the right is Paper Route, who have been around forever and reminded me that incredible shows happen here every night and I need to go see more of them.
And well, that’s a wrap. I packed a ton of live music into this weekend and it’s been pretty amazing from start to finish. Next Big Nashville/SoundLand is one of those occasions when I get all sentimental and proud of my city and the amount of talent that’s here. And then I get indignant about the rest of the world not giving Nashville enough credit, until I realize that I actually really enjoy living in one of the best kept secrets in America.

Whatiseenashville replied to your photo: how often do you hang out at HG Hill Park?
I used to hang out there quite a bit when I worked close by. There’s a tunnel that connects the old HG Hill park to the Nashville West addition and it was the perfect lunch break hiding place. Highly recommended.
