I spent more time than is probably sane looking for photos on Flickr and Google image search, to no avail. Let me know if you are able to find any! No, I was an idiot and left my camera at home!

I saw them in Nashville too this weekend, and was trying to explain the oddness to a friend. Did you by any change take pictures of them?

A nice stint in Tennessee, in the company of a boy named Miles (rather partial to that name, for obvious reasons!) You did a fab job of putting into words the off-putting-ness that is the Gaylord Opryland. I'd never been, so last summer when Bubba and I took a daytrip up to Nashvegas to eat some BBQ I requested that we stop by there. It's pretty, but there's just something so *wrong* about it all.... Oh - and a big thanks to the above commenter - you've taught me something! I've even been to the Jack Daniel's distillery, and I'd never caught that.... WooHoo - you’re living my dream, sweetie!

However: no need for a "sic" on the "Jack Daniel's" - it actually is "Jack Daniel" not "Jack Daniels" (as you can see <a href="http://www.jackdaniels.com/age.aspx" rel="nofollow">here</a>). Believe it or not, I don't know this because I'm a big Jack drinker - in fact, I'm not a whiskey drinker at all. I know it because (surprise) I'm a geek.

The pleasure of squiring you around Nashville was all mine. I wish you'd gotten more of a taste of our toddlin' town, but I'm hoping that taking you from the Parthenon to the polar bears gave you a good idea of the real Nashville and whetted your appetite for more. You and your man must really come back to town soon. The Opryland Hotel is totally overwhelming, c'est vrai. And it's even more surreal and Westworld-like at Christmas. When I met you outside the Cascades Lobby, you had the same look of "ahhhh... air! light! I'm FREE!" that Melissa Rodenbeek did when I sprung her from the hotel for an evening a few years ago.

At first I thought the whole atrium thing was sort of neat, but after the second time I'd really had my fill of the Gaylord Experience. I think what did me in was the fact that it was so darn hot in Texas that I couldn't go outside. Being trapped in an artificial environment really wears on you after a couple days!
