Thursday Night

Raining sheets of rain. We walk into the first bar we can get into nearest our hotel.
Turns out to be one of the best nights of our trip. The name of the bar is "The Capitol Grille".
Until recently it was a very exclusive, men only, downtown power meeting type of joint.
There were Senators everywhere. John and I went up to the bar and soon made best friends with everybody. I know what your thinking. Oh no. Not you two. But its twue! Paul to our left was a cement tycoon, and a super nice southern gentleman. It turns out that gentleman on our right was Kris Koenig from Interstellar Studios, an award winning documentary producer. Kris was in town town to promote his latest project and his contact was unable to meet him due to the storm.
And so he joined us on our travel through the barbecue and bars of downtown Nashville. That is Kris and I at the Capitol. What an amazing person. I was honored to meet him.
We had dinner at Jack's Bar-B-Que and then saw excellent live music at The Stage. .
To finish the night in style we returned to The Capitol Grille. This place had the most amazing retro bathroom (see the pics).
Songs have been written about our consumption on this evening.
Friday morning was rough.
