if it wasnt serious before...

now you better believe that opry mills mall is fucked. there was this aquarium restaurant and tourist trap in the mall, and when the flood waters came in, the fishys all swam out. the salt water fish died :( but the piranhas are totally pwning that place. thats right, the opry mills mall is infested with piranhas.

oh haiye.

pitchfork profiled lil' ol' knoxville's big ears festival:

Instead of putting the headliners in the Bijou, the biggest bands played the Tennessee Theatre, a Faberge egg of a place, with gilded walls and a ceiling that suggests staring into the heavens. In the end, all of these combinations and shifts made for an incredibly progressive yet accessible festival. In comfortable, affable Knoxville, far removed from the prior week's hustle and bustle of South by Southwest, Big Ears again felt like a long weekend of paradise-- and again a still must-attend, if very different than before, music festival.

um.

omg cyi?!!?

poor thing.

my mom just sent me this link to a dude's pictures of the flurded opryland hotel. the opryland is the glittering jewel in nashville's tourism crown, and now they're saying they're just hoping to re-open by christmas. i hope so too, because you should see what they do with that place for christmas time.

get well soon, opryland hotel!

i sure hope someone's taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
