TN in TN

The Conference on Baseball in Literature and Culture is Friday!
I’ll be presenting “Casting Bullpen: The Next Great Baseball Biopic”; my fervent prayers willing, there will be visual aids. I’m on before lunch, if you want to drop by. There’s also usually an “executive-session Q&A” (read: “the participants going out to drink beer and bitch about their department heads”), which is TBD. The CBLC is in Murfreesboro at Middle Tennessee State, and I will be in Murfreesboro until Saturday.
Then, after depositing Dave Sr. at the airport, I head back to Nashville. Anyone wanting to do a small PM meet-up, I’m into it; no baseball knowledge required. I’m staying near Opryland. Suggestions? Warnings?

Phat bites is a cool little restaurant close to where you will be staying. It is a food truck turned brick and mortar location.
Ha, it’s not too often I see my university represented! (I’m not in the English department though.) I’ll see if I can’t stop by the conference tomorrow.
If you are looking for places to eat, may I recommend Two Ten Jack and Zumi Sushi (near Vanderbilt). Both are owned by a friend’s little brother, and I got the chance to eat at Zumi last summer. OMG, so very good, and lovely service. Two Ten Jack is pretty new, and serves Japanese food with a great bar (its a take on a Japanese-style pub).
And if you get some time, go to Ryland Auditorium. It’s super-cool, and the acoustics are justly revered.
Good tips, folks. Should be getting back to N’ville proper around noon today.
Weezer is playing the ryman tonight and tomorrow night. Even more reason to go! Email me if you end up downtown
