Day 5 - Nashville to Home

Well folks, no pictures here - my camera was out of battery power. So, imagine if you will, the offices of the Tennessee Arts Commission. I entered the first floor of a large government building where I was asked to provide my driver's license for entry and subsequently watched as my picture (unfortunate befuddled look on face) was snapped by the same machine that scanned my license and produced a name tag with said information and picture scanned onto it. High tech.

As I made my way into the offices of the Commission, I noticed that they are quite colorful, and also, quite under renovation - new gallery space is coming soon. The artwork from the gallery ended up in all sorts of interesting places, including the Conference Room where I met with the very passionate staff and talked about SouthernArtistry.org. Lots of interesting ideas for surveying artists on the site and finding new marketing outlets to increase site traffic. Thanks to the staff for 2+ hours of your time and tips on good Mexican food in downtown Nashville.

The 3 hour drive home ended with Atlanta Friday rush hour traffic (you don't want to imagine this part) and my practicing ujayi breathing to keep myself calm as I drove through said traffic to a 3-hour installment of the yoga intensive program I am taking at Kashi Atlanta - the city's only urban ashram known for their service work and $5 yoga classes. Ah, to be home!
