Day 2- Nashville

L: Sister Kisser spent most of the morning travelling to our first destination, Nashville. We got up, got ready and were back on the road by 9:00AMish. We didn't really sleep much from arriving to our hotel at 1:00AMish the night before. In fact once we were settled in the hotel Elle, Alienwhere and myself had a cocktail and checked our e-mails, etc. while Marconi gave my guitar Fernando a complete, overhaul cleaning him up and changing his strings.

While online, I showed Elle and Alienwhere these hysterical videos done by a recent acquaintance of mine. Please check out [NSFW audio] "Cat News", "Mommy Time" and "Welcome To Our Home" on her MySpace page.

These videos had us laughing so hard and so loud that Marconi feared being reported to the front desk by another guest and being thrown out of the hotel completely. Anyhow, after settling down, none of us really slept that well as the beds were highly uncomfortable and we knew we had to be up early the next morning.

In hitting the road on Day 2, Alienwhere and I spent most of the morning preparing posts in a text file on the remainder of the trip to Nashville, still 4 or 5 hours away.

Once we got to the next hotel at roughly 1:00PMish, Alienwhere quickly set up the laptop and within minutes Sisterkissing was born. We posted all the entries we had written in the van all morning and had plans to attend a BBQ a friend was throwing for us with a few industry friends.

The BBQ was AWESOME. We met up with some friends we hadn’t seen in years. Dutch, our host, and his band were going to be our opening act for Monday night, the first show of our tour. We had a great afternoon catching up eating burgers, dogs, having beers, roasting marshmallows.And for dessert a guest had made and brought frozen watermelon vodka soup. YUM!!!

A: OMG, that soup was so good. She brought it out and put it on the table for everyone, and we all had a little, then Lioux and I looked at each other and just finished the rest of the big bowl ourselves. It was awesome. And the marshmallows – oh, what a great afternoon. I’m so shamefully easy to please sometimes. And we are totally making that vodka soup as soon as we get home.

L: Later that night, Sister Kisser and another guest decided to hit the town and went bar hopping up and down Music Row. Some of the places we hit? Tootsie’s, The Stage and we ended the night at The Wheel, an ultra cool bar with a rockabilly slant. The band was amazing and the crowd seemed really cool It took the rest of the band a little while to figure out said crowd was mostly gay and lesbian oriented. TOTAL bonus. When everything was said and done we had a great night.

A: Speaking of gay/lesbian oriented, there was this total ubergay jackass prancing around with a camera, being all coy and snapping pictures, all the while dancing around and causing a spectacle. Lioux had me in stitches because he leans over and whispers, “If I ever start acting like that, you have my permission to beat me” to which I replied “You won’t have to ask twice”. And then when this asshat continued his little show, Lioux kept saying audibly “NOTICE ME” which again was so hysterical, basically if for no other reason than the context in which it was muttered. I think he annoyed the crap out of everyone he was near. I almost beat him to death on general principle.

It was a rad night, though, as Lioux already pointed out. We saw some freaking great t-shirts, which apparently Nashville is real big on. Here are two from that evening alone.

“I’d kick your ass, but I’m afraid I’d hurt the gerbil.”

And

“24 hours in a day. 24 beers in a case. Coincidence?"

Classic. I’ll talk some more about sick t-shirts later on.
