Blogs from Tennessee, United States, North America - page 105

Ja, het werd wel weer eens tijd voor een blogje ;).. Op dit moment zit ik even in de bieb hier op de campus en moet ik weer helemaal wennen aan college. Afijn, afgelopen week had ik thanksgiving holiday (19-26 november) en ben ik met Lauren, een meisje dat ik heb leren kennen via paardrijden, naar haar huis in Knoxville gegaan: Knoxville ligt in de staat Tennessee, ongeveer 180 miles, ik denk zo'n 300 km van Greenville en is vernoemd naar Henry Knox... Vrijdag om 13.00 smiddags vertrokken we, waarna we ongeveer om kwart voor vier bij haar huis aankwamen.. nou, dat was een behoorlijk groot Amerikaans huis: ze wonen in een wijk, de polo club nogwattes :P, dat zelfs een eigen clubhuis, zwembad en golfbaan heeft.. nou, dan weet je het wel ;) Afijn, daar ... read more

11/17/2006 2:05 PM On the road again traveling north on I-65 to Louisville, Kentucky. The show in Nashville was interesting to say the least. We arrived a bit late but it was actually a better time to arrive. As we pulled into the parking lot of the club the sign said that “The Attrition” (instead of “Attrition”) which we all had a laugh at. After setting up the stage Brian readied Attrition for sound check which proved to be challenging to say the least. Major cabling problems. The snake had very few channels that actually worked. The walls were brick with nothing covering them except a coat of black paint and some cigarette smoke. The first band took the stage and had major problems with feedback. By the time HBS (High Blue Star) took the stage ... read more

So last weekend I went caving. I had been looking forward to this trip for ages as it was overnight caving and I knew it was going to be lots of fun. We were really lucky that the weather was quite warm so the actual cave wasnt too cold, well not during the day anyway. So we drove to Tenessee (which is only an hour n half away) to Worleys cave. We had to cave for about 20 mins carrying all our sleeping and cooking equipment until we were at the spot where we were going to sleep for the night. Once we had settled in there we went off in groups just exploring and finding different holes and paths to follow. Was so much fun just being able to explore....felt like I was in The ... read more

I really like Nashville. Everyone is so friendly and fun. From eating at Boundry, to going into every honky tonk...roberts, stage, tootsies, etc, to printers alley....to the 2nd ave action. I need a hat and some boots and I think I would really fit in. It is a clean city with such a good atmosphere and vibe to it. I love the live music...especially at tootsies...it was a new experience for me. From abby, mr anderson and others...and now myself..i have developed and interest and liking for country music..the more i hear and listen..the more i enjoy it. I think people who don't understand country music need to come to nashville...as understanding the culture and people behind the music def does help. Regardless country music is my new thing. ... read more

I also have a myspace page that includes a lot of blogs. But it has everyday life stuff rather than travel stuff. I will probably not duplicate info between the two sites. So if you are interested, you can go see the rest of me there. http://blog.myspace.com/debbieville ... read more
