Got to a Titans game this afternoon, as it seems that any chance to see the best team in the NFL is worth seizing. The game didn’t disappoint, and those lowly Cleveland Browns got their asses handed to them. And now I can officially say that Americans are as passionate about their football as Torontonians are about their Leafs. And speaking of things people are passionate about here in Nashville, we made it to Tootsie’s (a live music country bar) last night and partied with hick folk. The night life in Nashville is among the best I’ve ever witnessed actually, and the bars and streets were packed in the entertainment discrict. The cool thing here - all the bars seemed to attract lots of people of all ages (above 21). There were even a lot of parents there with their children. People in the south do it differently I guess. We wrapped up the night at a dive that lured us in by blasting Dropkick Murphys music on the street, and we ended up watching a midget star of the Micro Wrestling Federation show off his junk while dancing on the bar. It made Pavel’s trip complete. New Orleans tomorrow…

Made it to Toledo last night, holed up in a really crappy (but at least bedbug free) Comfort Inn for the night, and hit the road early this morning. The weather was horrible until mid afternoon, and we must have seen a crash every 10-15 minutes. The highlight would definately be seeing a car on its roof teetering on a guardrail over Lake St. Clair. Things brightened up midway through Kentucky though, and the terrain was just gorgeous - rolling hills covered in a mix of forest and scrubland, with the odd farmhouse and fields scattered throughout. Got stuck in a ditch getting out of a gas station parking lot, but local Kentuckians are a friendly bunch, and we were out in no time. Back on the road, Pavel knew some folks in Clarksville, TN (through StarCraft back in the day, of all things) and we stopped in for a huge feast. Southern Hospitality is alive and well my friends.

We’re now residing in a way above our pay grade hotel in Nashville for a couple days to see what life is like down here. Gonna catch some live music tonight methinks, and we’ve got tickets for the Tennessee Titans game tomorrow. Thats right bitches - we get to see the best team in the NFL play at home. Also in store is a visit to a rather large and well established creationism museum here. Mocking comments to come….
