I know that there was a little interest in a Mini-Fest when I [mentioned it at the end of March](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/who-wants-to-come-to-a-nashville-mini-fest/981946). Now that life has calmed down a bit for me, I’m setting out a date and a place and see who might want to join me. The date can be moved if enough people want to come but can’t make it. So I’m thinking Saturday, July 15 at [Homegrown Taproom and Kitchen](https://homegrownnashville.com/) in Donelson. Saturdays they have a $12 burger and a beer special between 2 and 11. So who is up for joining me and (probably) Hubby there to enjoy some good beer, good conversation and probably some good music too? ---

Do they have an outdoor area where pets would be allowed? **Mrs Magill** and the boys will be out of town that weekend, and the puppy is still too little to be left by herself for more than two hours. ---

**Maus\_Magill** , I’m not sure but I’ll check into it. If not, I can find a place that does. I’m hoping that we’ll be able to meet more regularly and can visit Taproom another time. **St.G** , I’m thinking around 2. Pretty much everything is negotiable. I just wanted to get _something_ out there. ---

Dinkins used to allow pets on the patio… in the Before Times. ---

I don’t think I’ve been there before, but I can definitely look into it. I was also thinking of Nectar Cantina in Donelson, but I know that they are always packed, so other options are good. ---

If the 'Boro isn’t too far out, [Hop Springs Beer Park](https://hopspringstn.com/) is a dog friendly option. (Nelson likes it there 🙂 ) ---

I’m good with going down to the 'Boro if everyone else is. The most important part for me is meeting people. And beer. Having some beer is always good. ---

Ok y’all! We’re 10 days out. I’m going to call and let them know we’re coming at the beginning of next week but I need a number for that. At the moment I’m counting 5 of us. If there’s anyone else that wants to come, let me know. If there’s anyone that can’t come, let me know that too. Can’t wait to see everyone on the 15th. ---

Unless the border between Alabama and Tennessee is closed (which only happens during college football season), I plan to be there. ---

Good morning all! I did not get a chance to call to let them know we’re coming though I’m hoping that, since there’s only 5 of us plus pups, and it’s a tick day outside, that it won’t be a problem. I’m going to try to make it there around 1:45. I’ll be the short heavy woman with fading blue hair and a maroon Project Lit shirt. If anyone wants to exchange numbers, drop me a DM. See you all in a few hours! [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/nashville-dopefest-saturday-july-15/984932.md?page=2)
