Works will be for sale by all of our favorite artist, and you'll see some clever ideas in home design.

Condos on the tour include:· Fourth & Monroe· Morgan Park Place· District Lofts· Harrison Square.

I would recommend starting at Harrison Square & District Lofts at 3rd and Harrison near the Stockyard Restaurant, who generously sponsored advertising for the event. It is a short drive to the other units, or you can ride the shuttle provided by the Downtown Partnership. -What a great evening on the town, with appetizers and wine - and a great chance to pick up a deal on some artwork!If you enjoy "art crawls" then you will realy enjoy Thursday's event.

Since this is our relocation event, I would like to ask that you please forward this invitation to your friends, and cohorts, and help us liquidate some inventory before we move. Thanks to everyone who has supported our efforts on 3rd Avenue in the Old Associated Salvage Building. It was a wonderful part of our journey, and we look forward to seeing you in our slick, new joint on Trousdale!

Pictures of the NashTrash Tours "Big Pink Bus"

The infamous "big pink bus"



Scenes from inside the bus. The camera battery died after this picture but we have one with the "Jugg Sisters' that I will be able to post soon. Stick around you'll wanna see that one cuz I couldn't get them off of me. It was like I was made of velcro or something.

Not My Normal Kind of Post but Here is Britney Spears News

Britney Spears' disastrous appearance in Las Vegas killed a pending multimillion, 30-market tour deal, according to an insider.

"Everyone was waiting on that. The wild card was how she performed," said the source, an executive who was close to the deal with Live Nation, the world's largest producer of concerts.



"Everyone said 'no way.' She blew it bad," said the source.

Spears had hoped to launch her comeback, after a four-year hiatus, at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sept. 9 at the Palms. Instead, she's not only back to square one professionally, but her continuing personal unraveling may have placed her on the music industry's radioactive list for some time.

Rumor about the Jugg Sisters

C.S. Webbspun reporter
Webbspun Press



There have been rumors swirling around the city since this past spring about the Jugg sisters, Sherri Lynn and Brenda Kay. They are the creators and tour guides of NashTrash Tours. It was believed that Sheri Lynn had been in rehab for addiction to hairspray but their publicist continued to deny that it was true. I spoke with them yesterday during a brief break at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum and got to the bottom of the story.

The truth is that they spent time in jail during that now infamous sabbatical. They were in the men's jail...Sherri Lynn doing hair and Brenda Kay providing "entertainment." Personally I think I prefer to think of them addicted to hairspray but I'm not the one with the "Trashy" lifestyle.

They do provide a fun lil tour of Nashville. Get out and get "trashy" in Nashville during your next visit. You can thank me later.
