Lonnie's Western Room, on Printer's Alley in Nashville. Printer's Alley is a string of dive bars that was home to Nashville's speakeasies during Prohibition. Western Room is where Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Tonya Tucker and other country greats sang early on in their careers. The guys sang Sweet Caroline and Friends in Low Places. Sounded really great when we were there (Several buckets of beer into the evening!) But once we listened to the video clips... oh well, its karaoke!
Justin and Ross... happy to be in Nashville's dive bars... similar to the bars in their Husker homeland.
Michelle and I... lovin Printer's Alley.
This really great band played at another bar (Fiddler's Steel Guitar?) on Printer's Alley. I thought they were great. Bought them 2 rounds of drinks Whoops!:) Total was under $40... tips included! Nothing beats cheap drinks, great entertainment, and great company. The servers and the rest of the bar were super friendly and down home also. Best thing was a guy serving hot dogs, nachos, and frito pies out of a little window that catered to the inside and outside of the bar, so under 21 could eat too. You ordered from the guy, then told the waitress your total ($9 for 2 hotdogs and a frito pie) and had her add it to your bill. Total honor system... so unheard of these days.
The night of the game... Mr. HuskerFan came out to drink too! This was at a big circle surrounded by entertainment venues pretty close to the stadium. One very, very tipsy girl tried to hit on Justin. He said thanks but no thanks, he had a fiance. She asked him if she (me) was there. Um yeah!! So I was only a teensy bit glad when she fell down a little bit later that night in front of tons of people. (No she wasn't hurt, probably didn't even remember it the next day!)
Ross celebrating the Husker win... (Un)fortunately, it was Michelle and I that drank the entire bottle! Ouch!!
Cheers to Huskers!! One glass down, the rest of the bottle to go!!
