We haven’t had one in a while, and it seems likely that a few of us will be gone when our subscriptions are up, it might be nice to have one last blow out. What say ye? ---

Don’t think we’ll make it (unless there’s hockey going on then), but [here’s](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=443232) the link for the last one for the vanity searchers! ---

Sorry to butt in, but “Nashvegas”?! Love it! I recall there is somewhere in Australia that also uses “…vegas” as the end of the name. Is this just your nickname, or is it widely used. (Again, sorry for the interruption, but as a Las Vegan, this amuses me…) ---

I’ve got a friend in Nashville I’ve been meaning to visit; consider me a definite “maybe.” ---

I want to be there! I will double check that date and woo Zeldar in that direction. ---

Hmmm…in late April, it should be warm enough to either have an outside venue or a place with patio dining…easier to hear each other. ---

NOT the microbrewery. Or anyplace else that has tiled floors. So noisy, it was like meeting in a boiler factory. ---

I’ll toss out some suggestions: Ceaser’s on White Bridge Rd (good Italian food) Green Hills Grill Omikoshi Macaroni Grill Pie in the Sky Wolfgang Puck’s La Paz Boscos Sitar Parthenon Park Shelby Park Cedar Hill Park Zoo Cheesecake Factory La Paz Thoughts? Votes? Does 6PM work for everyone? ---

Since a large number of us are in Rutherford county, I vote for somewhere here, or between the Boro and Nashville. StG ---

Parthenon Park. Perhaps Stones River Battlefield? ---
