on the road again... yep, we're on our way to Chicago. I'm excited. last night we had a film viewing at the Belcourt theater in Nashville, TN (It's the only Indie film theater in the whole city! and it's also the oldest... it started out as a silent movie theater then became the home of the Grand ole Opry for a bit, then became a live theater house and then on back to films, and music performances, very cool place!) We had a showing of "Seasons" it's a downhill Mountain bike movie... the guys in the film are truly insane! we're showing it in Boulder and in Denver at the end of July so please keep your ears open for that! it's going to be FREE and you get to see where I've been living this whole time (Suga Bugga) and you get free clif bar samples and t-shirts and schwag! FUN!! i'm pretty sure we'll be showing the movie on a big blow-up screen next to the clock tower on 16th street mall. okay, I'll stop plugging the movie and Clif Bar.
After our showing we took 4 of our 8 bikes out of the bus and rode to downtown Nashville... it was pretty cool, even Bill our bus driver got on a bike and rode with us. we ended up at the Station Inn where we saw an amazing bluegrass band and some of their guests... I swear everyone in that town has talent! they would look out in the audience and say, "hey, Michelle, want to come up and join us for a song?" then Michelle would stand up there and belt out some song with an absolutely amazing voice... this happened quite a few times, they brought up guitar players, a violin player, a few girls sang... it was great. then we rode our bikes back to the hotel, loaded them up in the bus and as we were walking back towards the front door of the hotel... I saw it... MY INITIALS ON A LICENSE PLATE!!! yes, I'm a total dork, but I love seeing my initials on license plates and I've only seen mine ONCE and that was about 10 years ago when I was in Dallas with the little girl I was nannying for. anyway, I took my photo with the plate and it will go into my collection of 2, Texas & Tennessee. But the REALLY cool thing about this plate is that the numbers on it are my birthday... 854-SYM ... 8 (August) 5+4=9 (The day I was born) so cool!
We're now headed for Chi-town and we're all hoping that we get a phone call from someone with connections at Wrigley Field so that we can see the Cubs play the White Sox... it's totally sold out... so we may have to settle for next Wednesday nights game... I don't really care... I just want to see the Cubbys play at Wrigley Field! It's a dream of mine and I'd love to fullfill it this week! so I'll keep everyone posted on that.
Life has been good to me out here so far, and as long as I don't need to wear a mini-skirt or a bathing suit I'll be fine... if I do need to wear one of those items, I'm going to look pretty nasty... I have so many bruises on my legs that I'm beginning to look like a texican dalmation... I'm not kidding. it's not attractive by any means. oh well... I guess it goes with the territory.
I miss everyone so much and I hope you're all doing well.
lots of love... xoxo
