Howdyyyyyyy!

So I broke my promise to myself, I didn't go to Dollwood today. The rain continued through the night into this morning, so I decided to drive straight to Nashville instead. But once I got there the skies where completely clear, just in time for me to get in touch with my Country roots... HEY! I could be a little bit country, but I guess I'm mostly a little bit rock n' roll (Ok ok, that was a horrible joke, but I'm a corn-ball, you all know this).


I spent a good portion of the day at the Grand Ole Opry, taking the back stage tour and walking through the Opry Mill mall. The tour was a lot of fun; I can't get enough of the southern twang everyone has down here and the history of the Opry House was actually pretty interesting. They took a peice of the old stage that every performer stood on and put it in center stage of the new one so all the new artist could stand where their idols once stood.


Country may not be my favorite genre, but I have a few artists that I like and I really admire their strong sense of community. The mall was pretty nice too. I geeked out over Marvel Comics with the guy in Barnes&Noble and I had some free time, so I saw "The Proposal" at their theater. I really liked it. It was very well written, especially for a romantic comedy, and I love Sandra Bullock, Ryan Reynolds, and of course Betty White.

Then I went to see the Parthanon. I'm not entirely sure why Nashville is the site for the full sized replica of the famous Greek temple, but I figured it was a must see for a Greek boy. It was pretty impressive. They had it all painted and sculpted the way historians believe it looked when it was originally built.


I've come up with quite a few ideas for my movie so far, but I pose this separate idea to you guys... the Housewives of Nashville!
