Goodbye Nashville

Emery — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 22:10:17 +0000

It’s been quiet around here right?
We’ve been really busy soaking up our last week in Nashville. Here is what it’s been like…

Ate Sushi with friends and saw Jacob Blount play at Bongo Java.
Heather and I drove to Birmingham after the show.
Hung with the Bedouins International guys.
Heather drove to Selma to look at some houses.
Ate Davenport’s Pizza with Heather. This pizza is stupid good.
Stayed with our amazing cousins Kent and Carmen. Kent cooked an amazing breakfast on Sunday morning while 5 inches of snow fell.
We played in the snow. Snowmen, ski instructor Kent, boogie boards, snowballs, snow angels, heaven.
Drove back to Nashville to eat with some friends.
Dinner with 2 couples turned out to be a surprise going away party that was out of sight. “Hick” themed madness! I can’t remember ever being surprised like this. It was the coolest thing ever!!
Packed all day Monday.
My last Monday night at the Flying Saucer(as a Nashville resident).
Packed all day Tuesday.
Lunch with James Capozzi on Tuesday. (click his name)
Amanda’s Birthday party at Lime on Tuesday night.
Packed until 3. Hung out with CJ and the band at Diamond Studios.
Laser Tag tonight! Yep, a bunch of 20 somethings love some laser tag.
Cookie Dough Eggrolls at Jackson’s
The movers come at 9 tomorrow morning and we are gone.

Goodbye Nashville….

Band Rehearsal

Emery — Sun, 18 Jan 2009 21:58:07 +0000

How about another random update from a random Sunday?
CJ Weems is an artist here in Nashville that I’ve been playing bass with for the last 8 months. Being a guitarist, I had never played bass with a band until CJ asked me to. I’ll be playing less since he is working towards going full time in the next month or so. So, I’m at practice right now hanging out with the guy(Jim) that is taking my place. Good times.

My point of view…..

Travels

Emery — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 02:40:26 +0000

It’s 10:41 and I walked off the stage in Greeneville, TN at 9. Now Heather and I are driving to Selma. We will be headed towards Florida tomorrow morning. We are in Cleveland, TN right now and we are feeling pretty good. The next stop will involve energy pills and Red Bull. We may have to sleep in Birmingham. I’ll toast a sugar free Red Bull to not stopping this journey until we are done.

Look at all the “villes” we are going through today……

Nashville
Cookville
Crossville, TN
Knoxville
Greeneville
Collinsville
Rainsville
Crossville, AL
Springville
Odenville
Trussville
Maplesville

That’s a ton of villes right?

County Fair

Emery — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 03:46:11 +0000

As I’ve mentioned, I play in a band for a country artist named CJ Weems. We played a show last weekend at the Cumberland County Fair in Crossville, TN. Needless to say it was pretty awesome. The whole event was just like you would expect a county fair to be. The crowd consisted of a bunch of country folk + some of our friends. I think the pictures will do a better job of taking you there…. This was the first time I’ve played live in a year and the first band I’ve played bass in. Very good times.

Highlights of the fair (other than playing):

1. There was a Camel.

2. There may have been more tractors than people. (and there were a ton of people)

3. Fried everything (oreos, nutter butters, snickers….you name it.)

4. Super Giga Beef Jerky

We just got back from Sushi night and found a great post by a fellow blogger. Kyle Campos wrote a funny post about church signs @ Our Rising Sound.

Some news: -The country band I play in has a show at a county fair this weekend. The artist is CJ Weems.
