Hey out there in interweb land! I just returned home, literally last night, after spending a week in the beautiful city of Nashville, Tennessee.
If you say it’s not a great place, you aren’t trying hard enough, or you aren’t with the right people.
Why was I in Nashville? I went for 100 Monkeys, Tin Tin Can and The Stevedores. If you haven’t heard of them, or listened to their music, then why are you still here? Click the links, go, NOW.
It also happened to be New Con, a Twilight type of convention, and though I am totes not a “Twi Hard”, I ended up having a blast.
Without further adieu, here you are, my top TEN (though there could have been a thousand plus) reasons that Nashville rocked my socks off.
10.) Ned Bellamy: He was awesome. Down to Earth, always had a smile, and I have to admit, I laughed every time I saw him, because without fail someone always shouted “BUTTCRACK SANTA!”
9.) Kissing sharks: Without a doubt the ONLY place I’d ever come close to a shark, let alone kiss it. You all know my fear(s) of whales and sharks…yet I puckered up to one.
8.) The Grand Ole Opry: So much musical history, I was literally in awe, that I was standing there. I know, I’m so mushy. Hey, what can I say, I have a soft spot for music!
7.) From Across the World: Meet Angie, from France, Music brings us all together, no matter the distance.
6.) Jodie Platz:: My partner in crime (one of them at least lol) not just for the weekend, but always! This girl can wail, (She beat my karaoke of Blame it on the Rain, and that was damn near impossible. lol), and she took all the pics. You should check out her stuff HERE
5.) MADDY!: There aren’t enough words for how cool this chica is, and she appreciated my dancing, so see, extra extra cool points! Plus she plays a mean set of bells!
4.) Jose Zuniga: You may know him as Mr. Molina in Twilight. I had the most interesting conversation(s) with this man, he was very entrancing. Definitely one of my favorite points of the weekend.
3.)Jessica!: This is my fellow monkey girl! She adores Ben (J not G, because well, you know. lol) and she makes hella cool jewelry, you can find her at Twitter
2.) Jammin’ with the Monkeys: No lie. They had a Jam session, I played the Cowbell, Jodie the tambourine,Maddy the bells, and it was incredible. Insert also dancing with J Action, and staring at … well we won’t go there, and you have a perfect set.
Wow.
And my number one goes to the two coolest (and hardest working) women, and man bar none, on the planet, therefore they tie!
Vi ,Heidi, and Tim: Between them I managed to lead a group down a street with no idea where I was going, serenade, sing Bohemian Rhapsody, be accosted with chicken tenders, smacked with a cowgirl hat, and literally laugh my ass off. *Checking behind me* Yep, it’s gone.

There you have it. If you’re jealous, I’m sorry..next time, hit up a Monkeys show, (Or Tin Tin Can, OR Stevedores) See what you’re missing?
