Nick gets his break with M3

NickAfter spending years in Nashville, my buddy Nick, who I grew up with in Cincy, has finally landed a job in the field he has been trying to break into.

Nick will start as an installation technician with Multi-Media Masters Inc., who according to their Web site are “masters of vision and sound.”

After Nick completes some certification courses he will be promoted to project manager.

Unfortunately, the M3 offices are in Nashville so he won’t be moving to Columbus any time soon — not that he was planning on ever doing that anyway.

It’s perfect timing because my future rock band is gonna need a sound guy. As soon as I learn how to play a guitar. Or sing.

Tiffany Finds Cigarettes That Are 8 Years Old

James DeanI quit smoking back in January. And I went months without smoking a single cigarette.

And though we personally missed all of the shenanigans by the river and watched the fireworks on a television of the Cadillac Ranch, we still had a lot of fun.

That’s right, we drove down to Cincinnati to watch the fireworks on television.

Nashville’s A Surprise Every Time

Shot MenuNashville has got to be one of the only places in America where you can go downtown to a bar at 1 in the afternoon on any particular day and find a singer belting out her best on stage to a crowded bar while a porn star surrounded by four greasy strip club owners drinks in the corner.

Unfortunately I couldn’t snap a picture of the porn star for fear of receiving a broken leg or two so you’ll have to take my word for it.

The city remains one of my favorites and never lets me down.

Maybe it has something to do with knowing the right people.
