Happy Tattoo-sday! Yep, you heard it right… I’ll be getting my second tat several years after my first, paying homage to one of my favorite projects I’ve helped put together, Salute Your Shorts night. A local film appreciation event that we brought back in March, and the next episode is TBD, so stay tuned for updates on the next one!

But enough about me for this week. I’d love to hear more about YOU and what you love to do in Nashville! I’m still taking ideas/submissions for our upcoming Local’s List entries, so nominate yourself or a friend simply by replying to this email, and aim BIG! Which Nashvillians (artists, local businesses, bloggers, show promoters, etc) would you like to hear from?
