Nashville PBR

Okay, so Nashville was awesome

Justin won. Ryan Dirteater made an amazing showing. Guilherme rallied to come in third and take back his points.

I love Nashville for the music, and the quirky shops and the neat architecture. At the risk of sounding like everyone else, I wasn't fond of the hotel (we have food allergies, and there was nothing to eat on their very limited menu), though the staff were generally amazing and sweet. The main disappointment was the crowd, as they were as subdued and quiet, and I like 'em rowdy. Hats off to random fan Flint pulled to dance on Friday night, James, for singing Baby's Got Back like a pro and near scaring Flint to death.

There were some great rides, and one terrible wreck. Best wishes to Scott Schiffner for a quick recovery. He got knocked out hard.

The very best part of the event was Matt Austin. S is from east Texas, and has family from Wills Point, so it's good to see the local guy do good. Well, he didn't make the ride, but I've loved him since he was winning college championships, so it was good to see him at the big show.

The next best part was the hotel bar on Saturday night. JW, Justin, Frank, Ross Coleman, Greg Potter, the Brazilians en masse. It was a good night.
