Driving over from NC with my buddy.  Looking forward to it!!

Hoping for a lot of Gigaton.

Hopefully one from my "haven't seen yet" list - Gods' Dice, Thin Air, Parting Ways, Gonna See My Friend, Supersonic, Force Of Nature, Ghost, All Or None

What are woo girls?  All the bachelorette parties?

Yes. Nashville is the bachelorette party capital of the world. Broadway/downtown is full of pedal taverns, party busses and other contraptions to ride around and act stupid on.

Wife and I flying up Thursday after a quick jaunt to NYC next weekend.  See you in 114!

Georgia here as well. A lot of us Georgian's took over Greenville in 2016.  Now it's time to do it again for Nashville. 

I’ll be in my checkerboard overalls. Go Vols!

Oh no! You’re making me want to wear my UGA shirt! Go Dawgs! 😉 

I’ll be coming up from Georgia as well with my son, then heading on over to St. Louis! A teacher friend of mine at my school is going to Nashville as well. 

Looks like PJ needs to come to the Peach State next year!

I'm a teacher as well.  Great minds think alike!  I'm doing MSG too in addition to Nash.  

Nice! Hope your teaching year is getting off to a good start!

 MSG will be epic no doubt. My sole MSG PJ show was the Live at the Garden. Energy was insane. Enjoy nyc! Love that city. My sister used to live their and we would visit quite a bit.

Driving over from Athens, GA.  Going to visit the Hatch Show Print place for a tour at 2:00, then check out the downtown.  Considering driving to Louisville the next day, but DARN!, hotels at this late date are pricey over there.

Just saw two tickets in section 115 for $850 each.  They sold.

Love Athens! I’m a big R.E.M. and Drive By Truckers fan. Such a cool, historical city. I saw Linqua Franca at the 40 Watt. She was y’all’s city council person and a crazy, cool rapper!

Anyone want a ticket in Section 333?  It gets you in the door, you can stop refreshing, and if you are willing to commit to meeting me IP on the day of the show, I will sell it less than face value.

See y'all in Sec 4 Row 8. My PJ-loving older brother and I are flying down next WED from Boston for the show. Doing a Jack Daniels distillery tour that afternoon, then hitting the Ryman, Johnny Cash Museum, Country Music HoF, RCA Studio B on Thursday/Friday. Can't wait.

If you're into roots music the Americana Fest is happening all around town 9/14-17. Bands and shows every night at iconic venues, like the Station Inn and Exit/In. https://americanamusic.org/daily-schedule

ComeToTX

I may leave PJ a little early to run over and see Milk Carton Kids at City Winery.

Ah it's nice to see all the Georgia PJ fans.. I've only met 1 before but could tell more existed based on the taken personalized PJ license plates 😆

Anything worth looking into for later Thursday? Flying in and thinking about taking in another show that night - already saw Jade Bird at Ohana, wondering if something else is worth a look.

I second the Station Inn. My wife and I went years ago. $20 for hours of great bluegrass. Really enjoyed it.

Anyone else staying Embassy Suites next to Bridgestone? Booked it way back when it was still under construction so was prepared for some growing pains this stay. Been keeping tabs on reviews since it opened in July, sounds like still only 2 or 3 of the elevators are working so long waits getting in/out, some say waits of 30-40 mins and using stairs instead. Thankfully a 2 min walk to the show.

I’m there as well, those wait times sound awful.

Just a refresher for those who haven't hit broadway before or in a long time. It's not like it used to be. It's New Orleans meets Vegas plus live music. There are still some hidden gems like Roberts and just a block away from Bridgestone. This is where Ed hung out last time he played Nashville (Pilgrimage) 

If you have time take an uber or drive to Bringle's Smoking Oasis (10 min from downtown) Awesome BBQ, outdoor space, local beers, TVs etc. Right across the street is Southern Grist (top 3 Nashville local beer IMO)

Any local beers sold inside the arena?

Yeah, I haven't been this year but definitely are. At the opposite end of the stage on the lower concourse there is a bar that is Jack Daniel's themed. They always have local beers.

Second Fiddle and Robert's are where we usually end up. Avoid Tootsie's and Kid Rock's unless you like paying $9 for a warm beer

There's also a big stand by the escalators by the main entrance that serves only craft and local stuff. Lots of craft and/or local stuff throughout the arena. There are Twice Daily stores throughout that also have local or craft cans along with usually bud, miller, etc staples.

There's some good local places to eat in the arena too. Rotiers, which was a local burger place since the 40's until they closed last year, has a stand on main level by the big window's. Really good burger, but it's served on french bread, so don't be confused lol.  Puckett's (a local BBQ restaurant) has a few places around. I can't remember what it's called, but they have a full size hockey helmet filled with french fries, topped with cheese, brisket, pulled pork, bbq sauce, white sauce, and jalepenos. It's like $18 but enough food to feed a family of 4. it's pretty damn good too. There's a hot chicken helmet version too at the hot chicken stand over outside sec 111 I think.

This comment by a million 👍🏻  That guy sucks

Prince's is great but I still like Hattie Bs. They still do it well. There's a few of them outside the city too which helps if you're traveling for work or whatever. 
I discovered Peg Leg Porker BBQ last trip and it was delicious. dry rub ribs and great pulled pork. I'll be in town for work and hoping to hit some pregame spots if I have time. Keep em coming.

I’m at a Holiday Inn Express on Broadway a few blocks from Bridgestone. I’m hoping it’s decent and not a bad walk and that it runs smoothly as my flight doesn’t get in until midday of show.
