There is no Metblog for that town. I know it's close to 'Nashvegas,' but I am also one of the sad masses who relies on the public transit system. In this neck of the world that means if it's not on the Monday - Friday working hour circuit in Nashville, I won't be going. If you're looking to add more cities - count me in for Murfreesboro ("The Boro" to it's inhabitants and the college crowd.)If not, while I'd love the chance, I don't think you want a reporter-by-proxy.

It was fun the first 20 minutes. Then our shamble of zombies walked from the Printer's Alley area to Centennial park! I walked the full-tilt shuffled - which put me in the back of the zombie march. Word of our final destination passed down the line by mouth, and I assumed that since we were walking so very far there was something waiting for us at Centennial. There was... The organizer and her friends had a car parked there, and left the rest of us with a little wave and nothing else. After walking all the way back to downtown, I was pretty disillusioned about the whole "zombie walk" thing. I'm not knocking my fellows from the undead ranks in attendance. Everyone was very friendly, and I did have a great time. I did expect more of the organizer, but hey - it was not a bad way to spend Saturday night. For anyone considering joining the next zombie walk I have a couple of pointers: >Comfy Shoes >Bus or Cab fare (know the bus route that will take you back to your car) >Be nice to the Police men. Ugh!

]]> Comment on Cyclists Celebrate Opening of Pedestrian Bridge by elkrock http://nashville.metblogs.com/2008/04/09/cyclists-celebrate-opening-of-pedestrian-bridge/comment-page-1/#comment-1394 elkrock Fri, 11 Apr 2008 23:31:18 +0000 http://nashville.metblogs.com/2008/04/09/cyclists-celebrate-opening-of-pedestrian-bridge/#comment-1394 Ugh! Why can't these kinds of things be advertised in more places sooner? It appears to be a trend in Nashville that anything cheap and interesting is only advertised the day before or day-of. I'd love to go to something like this, but - and I'm sure most of you can sympathize - my weekends are booked up usually a couple weeks in advance! Ugh!

]]> Comment on MetroBlogger Video Scoop – Gigi’s Cupcakes by elkrock http://nashville.metblogs.com/2008/03/15/metroblogger-video-scoop-gigis-cupcakes/comment-page-1/#comment-1393 elkrock Tue, 01 Apr 2008 23:14:50 +0000 http://nashville.metblogs.com/2008/03/15/metroblogger-video-scoop-gigis-cupcakes/#comment-1393 Well, I'm not sure Mary305's got their number, but as of now, I'm not a Gigi's fan. It wasn't horrific or anything, but in categories of cake flavor and icing flavor, a grocery store bakery can keep up pretty well. Admittedly, Gigi's has more flavors and flash, and it was a little fun to stop at a "cup cake shop." Unfortunately, novelty will only get you so far. Suggesstions: STEP UP Gigi's! At $33 dollars per dozen, your cupcakes aren't going to compete with $15 from the grocery store! You've got a cute look and a potentially great niche in Music city, if you can just start offering us something we can't find down the street for less.
