Our 12th collage representing the year 2010 is up in the den and it looks pretty darn good. It was a great, busy year full of concerts, travel and other hi-jinks. We saw great shows by Train (twice, including meeting them at The Ryman), O/A/R twice, David Gray, Guster, Mumford & Sons, Butch Walker, The Swell Season and Crowded House. We had great trips including our just recently concluded jaunt to Europe, a cruise to the Western Caribbean, a long weekend in New York City, another in Las Vegas, plus smaller road trips through Virginia, a couple times up into Kentucky (including attending races at The Breeders Cup at Churchill Downs) and here in Tennessee. The "hi-jinks" of the year included another visit to the Bonnaroo Music Festival, a hot-air balloon ride over in Franklin and a ttending three different regional beer festivals.2011 is shaping up to be a strong competitor with shows already scheduled for Drivin' N Cryin', Truth & Salvage Co., Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, The Dirty Guv'nahs and U2 at the Vandy Stadium. Trips planned already include down to Miami to see the defending national champs, the Duke Blue Devils, play, plus Flogging Molly in concert; a long weekend in Reno and Lake Tahoe; a short cruise to Cozumel and back out of Tampa that will have several musical acts on board, some of whom we have seen before and love (Train, Mat Kearny) and some we like and have been wanting to see (Lifehouse, The Script, Alpha Rev), and a long weekend out on The Outer Banks. Possible 2011 hi-jinks include another visit to Bonnaroo (it's their 10th anniversary this year), the Hangout Music Festival in Gulf Shores, Alabama, on our 10th wedding anniversary weekend in May, a national beer festival in Colorado this fall, plus who knows what else!!
