    Yeah or a code phrase like "Excuse me, do you know how I can get a spot a Lukin's?"

    Nice. The Peabody has been taken over.

    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    I am arranging my travel plans. Coming from Italy. I am thinking about spending two nights in Nashville (sun and mon) and two nights in Memphis (tue and wed). Would it be fine? Suggestions from locals are very welcome. I regret to miss the Grand Ole Opry since I cannot be in Nashville on Friday and Sunday, but it seems to be rather commercial, doesn't it?
    I plan to have the writers' night at the Bluebird on Sunday and the Time Jumpers at the 3rd & Lindsley on Monday in Nashville: is it a good choice?

    Yeah, those are good bets. 3rd and Lindsley is a nice little place. For the BlueBird, make sure and get there somewhat early as it's first come first served on seating (for the free show that usually starts around 6pm but you can also call for reservations for some shows. usually the late show will have a cover, but not always). Plus, you never know who will show up. Dave Grohl showed up and played an hour long acoustic set there 2 weeks ago. If you're into records, hit up Third Man Records (Jack White's store) and Grimey's. and like someone else pointed out, try and do the Ryman tour and if it's nice outside, a walk around Centennial Park

    I am at the Westin but now I'm thinking all the fun will be at the Peabody? There is no guarantee that you will get it for $115 through Priceline though right? Also, what is the story on the double beds there... Need something bigger... (w/ wife)...

    If you are into concert posters Hatch Show Print has a little place by The Omni across from convention center if you are downtown. I haven't been inside even though it's right by my parking spot for hockey. It looks like one of those things that might be fun to check out if you happen to be walking by but not cool enough to go out of you way to see. Not to jinx it but the weather should be awesome that time of year.

    Just booked the Peabody through Priceline for name your own price for $115 like everyone else...that place is going to be backed with PJ fans(similar to the Pittsburgh show last year when a ton of us all got insane deals at the same hotel downtown). I will be coming in the night before the show and staying two nights. Hopefully there will be some good local shows/parties Monday night!

    Count me in for some blues on Monday. I'm hoping the Peabody crew will want to meet at the hotel bar first because as a woman I'm a little wary of wandering around Memphis by myself at night.

    My friend and I are staying at the Peabody (also women). We are arriving Sun night and staying till Thu. We are of the more "mature" age, but enjoy the finer things in life like good music, food and booze . You can wander around with us, if you would like.
