We drove from Greensboro to Nashville, where we got ready to play at Bongo Java. Brooke went to school at Belmont, which is right across the street, so we were able to hang out with her friends, who had a place for us to stay, as well. Bongo Java is a pretty cool place, and the after-hours theater was an intimate venue with great sound.

In Nashville I'm staying with my friend Paul Zimmerman-Clayton (who is releasing an album himself, shortly. check it out by clicking the link) and meeting some of his friends - a bunch of really cool people. I know Paul through Matty Rineer, another musician who grew up in Lancaster and moved down here to Tennessee. There's a few of those around.
Matty had off work today, so he came over, picked me up and showed me around. We visited the Pancake Pantry for some excellent pancakes - the perfect consistency and flavor and on a Thursday, mid-morning, when most restaurants are slow, there was still a line out the door. Nothing to compare with how it is on a weekend, apparently...
