The People of PodCamp Nashville 2010 #pcn10

So Dave Delaney totally beat me to this post… That’s what I get for being “too busy to blog” over the past few days.PodCamp Nashville 2010

I had the privilege of attending Podcamp Nashville this Saturday at Cadillac Ranch. I got to sit in a lot of really enlightening sessions and learn some great things.

Nerdy education aside, I got to meet and learn from some really great people that I think you all should know about.

Gavin Richardson

Gavin is a pastor, social media participant anthropologist, and all around cool guy. I was glad to get to know Gavin and also learn about how social media is affecting human relationships from his presentation entitled Sex, Lies, and Social Media.

Angela DeYoung

Angela is a wonderful interior designer with an impressive portfolio. She loves what she does and is quick to share her enthusiam for designing your space.

LaDonna Bowers

LaDonna knows a lot about a lot. Just ask her about some light bulbs. ;)

Daniel Morris

Super intelligent guy with a sharp mind for business. Look for his up and coming podcast.

Rob Robinson

Rob’s a great guy that I’ve been lucky to meet before, but didn’t get to talk to very much until Saturday. Check out his blog. Rob is very in tune with all things Nashville.

Will Norton

Super cool guy who I hope to never have to call… (Will’s an attorney.)

Dave Delaney

The life of the party, Dave is the social media coordinator at Griffin Technology. He lives with his finger on the pulse of all this new technology we geek-types love to talk about.

Lucas Hendrickson

The man with the plan. Lucas made sure that the day went off without a hitch. Bravo!

Courtenay Rogers

Fearless leader of the volunteer crew. When I got there (at 6:45 AM, boo,) she immediately scooped me up and put me to work. She really got things done… Not to mention she gave a great presentation on Social NETiquette and how not to be a networking shmuck, a topic I really enjoy.

Scott McIntosh

I didn’t get to meet Scott personally, but he taught a down and dirty comprehensive session about setting up your “broadcasting channel”, a.k.a. all your social media stuff. I got a few cool little nuggets of it. I was more impressed by the kind of stuff he’s been working on. Check him out!

Kate Gallagher

Sad to say I didn’t get to meet Kate either. Media director at Paramore|Redd, she taught us all about how she develops social media strategy with new clients such as Backyard Burgers and Chase Amazon. It was a really great primer for people looking to develop a strategy for either themselves or a client.

Justin Davis

Another super cool guy. Justin presented on developing “user experience.” In a nutshell, he taught us how to develop web pages that are simple and attractive. He gave me a lot of nice little ideas for making this website much more usable. Stay tuned for those improvements.

Josh Oakes

Josh offered a contrarian view of social media and how it’s altering human interaction. Really cool stuff with a heavy call to action at the end… Basically, we only get one shot at this, so let’s no fudge it up.

Mitch Canter

Hot-shot website designer who can bend WordPress to his every will. Since I use WordPress, I really enjoyed his presentation and look forward to implementing some of the things Mitch talked about.

Georgia Cross

Marketer extraordinaire/social media butterfly. ‘Nuff said.

Taylor Vick

Really cool girl with a really cool blog. Go on and check it out.

Nate Baker

Nate’s a trip… Search #flashfest2010 and see for yourself… Seriously, though, Nate does some really great things in the community. Check him out and prepare to be impressed.

Scott Stephens

Scott can bang out 10 push ups much more quickly than I can. Physical exercise aside, Scott’s a big thinker and a great guy. He also goes to the same church as I do. (Cross Point shout-out!)

Jessica R. Murray

Jessica can watch Scott do 10 push ups and hand him a prize afterward. In addition to that, she co-founded Social Media Club Nashville and does all sorts of other cool stuff!

There you have it! I’m so sorry if we met and I neglected to put your name on the list! Send me an angry comment and I’ll add you right away ;) .

Wednesday Night in Nashville – Why Life is Cool Here

So here’s what happened in my world last night.#flashfest2010

I was having dinner with some friends at the 12 South Taproom & Grill, during which I get a tweet from @flashfest2010 about going to Mt. Richmore and assaulting John Rich’s gaudy new palatial estate with a barrage of light…

For more information on why anyone would do such a thing, visit the Nashville Scene.

Juvenile? Maybe. Powerful? Definitely. Before Twitter, how could a grass roots movement arise out of the dust within a matter of hours to combat rampant celebrity shmuckery? I wish I could have went, but I hadn’t seen these friends in quite a while and I didn’t want to leave them hanging.

One of these friends was Jeff Allen,
an amazing artist who you need to check out immediately.

After dinner, we headed over to the Cannery Ballroom to check out Randy Rogers Band featuring Wade Bowen, two of my most favorite Texas artists… You don’t spend the better part of 7 months in a van (like me) driving back and forth through Texas from gig to gig without picking up an affinity for Texas music.

Randy Rogers BandThe show was amazing. Randy Rogers and his band absolutely killed it. I ran in to a few friends I haven’t seen in a while and had a blast listening to some gritty, driving Texas country.

After that, our little crew headed on over to the Bridge Bar at Renaissance Hotel for the usual CRS week festivities. Music biz-types were out in abundance, glad-handing and networking like busy little bees, but it was still a really fun time. I got to reconnect with a lot of musician and business types that I haven’t seen in forever, as well as meet some really cool people (no name dropping allowed.)

CRS is going all week. Here are a few of the artists who will be playing and attending: Brad Paisley, Luke Bryan, Jason Michael Carroll, Bucky Covington, Jake Owen and Taylor Swift. Pretty cool event for all you Nashville music-types to go and check out.View From The Bridge Bar in Nashville, TN

So that was my night in Music City. If you’re not from here, it sounds pretty exciting. If you live in Nashville, then it’s business as usual.

That’s why I love this city so much.

Wanna move here yet?

Uncle Classic Barber Shop – Say It.

Yet another review/plug for a local business from your resident Nashville enthusiast…

I ran into Amy Tanksley a few weeks ago at a Young Professionals Nashville event. We didn’t get too much time to talk, but she did tell me about her business, Uncle Classic Barber Shop.

So naturally, when I looked in the mirror and gazed with horror at the shaggy mop on top of my head on Tuesday morning, Uncle Classic was the first thought that popped into my brain; below the forest that was my hair.

I called and made an appointment for this morning at 8:00. JoAnn was there waiting to welcome me in to the shop. Uncle’s has a modern, classy look to it. Sleek furniture, industrial design, and a wide-screen TV or two made me feel right at home. With glass windows all around, it felt like a man cave, minus the cave part.

JoAnn chatted with me the entire time she cut my hair. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve sat in the chair with a hair cutter who would just refuse to carry on a conversation with me. She was a sweet lady, not a robot. 100 points there. She is also a Yankees fan, 1.6 million points. <-Winner!

As for the haircut, it was great! $23 price tag was a little more than I usually pay, but definitely worth it. JoAnn was quick, but deliberate. She made sure she knew what I wanted, and she delivered. Top that off with hot shaving cream and a straight blade and we’re all set. I’m very happy with the results!

I grew up in the same barber shop from age 4 to age 18. After I left my hometown for the Air Fore and the wild blue yonder, I’ve been subjected to all manner of military crew cuts, discount hair cutters, and mini-mall hair tragedies. In my travels, I’ve been wandering, in search of a new barber shop to call home. I think I may have found it.

When Do I Hire a Home Inspector?

Here’s a common question from prospective home buyers that I’ve run across:

“When do I hire a home inspector?”Getting a home inspected is an important part of the buying process.

Someone, somewhere probably told you that you should have a house inspected before you buy it. Right.

Someone else probably mentioned that you should have it inspected before you make an offer. Wrong.

Any real estate contract worth a salt is going to have an inspection contingency clause in it. The way I complete contracts, the inspection period lasts for 10 days after the contract is signed and accepted by both parties. Your REALTOR may write it differently depending on your state and your situation.

Within that 10 day period, you can conduct pretty much any inspection you need to conduct. This is when you hire a home inspector to come out and inspect the house. This is also the time to hire surveyors, structural engineers, etc.

If you don’t like the results of any of these inspections, the contract will typically specifiy that you can either accept the house as-is, ask the seller to fix the problems, or terminate the contract with a full refund of earnest money.

There you have it:

1.Find the house.
2.Make an offer.
3.Get an inspection.

If you don’t like what pops up, you can back off and find another house worth buying.

If you have any other questions, I’m only an email away!
