About Me
- Name: Aunt B
- Location: Nashville, Tennessee, United States
Like Donnell Alexander says, "It's about completing the task of living with enough spontaneity to splurge some of it on bystanders, to share with others working through their own travails a little of your bonus life." But, it's mostly the kind of place that folks looking for "girls and cars" stumble across by accident.

THE CAST OF CHARACTERS
Aunt B.--Your kind host.The Butcher--My youngest brother, who lives with me and works as, you guessed it, a butcher. He knows everyone in town.
The Recalcitrant Brother--Our middle brother, who lives in rural Georgia and has a kind of movie star life, if that movie star is Burt Reynolds in Deliverance.
The Reverend--Our Dad, a Methodist minister, perpetually three years from retirement.
Mom--Our Mom. She doesn't get a funny nickname because our mom will not stand for funny nicknames.
Mrs. Wigglebottom--My dog. She's got terrible manners.
The Corporate Shill--Or The Shill, as we call her. My friend from college who was constantly getting me into trouble and going to parties she neglected to tell me about where cute boys would ask her "Where's Aunt B.?"
The Legal Eagle--The Shill's husband.
The Super Genius--She lived next door to me my freshman year of college and we've been friends ever since my first day on the floor.
Miss J.--My first adult friend, meaning the first lasting friendship I made after college. She was my roommate in grad school.
Her Lover--Her Husband.
The Divine Ms. B.--Miss J.'s sister and one of my heroes, because she's brave and funny and mystic and fearless.
JR--My oldest friend. I've known her since I was in the second grade.
Elias--JR's husband and the person who's musical tastes have most strongly affected my own. Oh, how I long to be cooler than him!
The Professor--My closest friend here in Nashville. She's a genius, but she'll never tell you that.
The Man from GM--I've known him since I was 16 and he still hasn't forgiven me for telling him I was a vegetarian when I wasn't.
The Redheaded Kid--No one knows where he comes from or where he goes when he leaves here. I assume he's the Butcher's friend. The Butcher assumes he's mine.

As one of your Australian readers, I can safely say I would pay $5 to not watch cricket. Even if I was in Nashville.
I don't like Vegemite either. Or Keith Urban (he sings with an American accent, urgh, sorry, but I can't stand to hear Australians putting on the Texan Twang or whatever it is...)
I loves me some Keith Urban.
Whatever you do, don't watch Lagaan.
Cricket+Bollywood Musical+3 hours running time=deargodgetmeoutofherenow
I have to say, I'm still confused about what an "Australian Festival" might encompass. Watching sports and looking at animals? I'm trying to imagine what having a "United States Festival" in Australia might be like, for that matter.
When you have huge places with a lot of different subcultures, trying to have a festival that gives anyone a flavor of the country would be difficult, I think.
If this is the thing that is held in the park out front from West End Middle, save your money.
We stopped by one year to see what it was.
I don't remember everything it entailed, but I do remember a bunch of australian fetishists standing around and watching people play rugby. And drinking Foster's.
WHoooaa, way to push the envelope of cultural celebration, dudes!
Who all wants to go?
I spoke with Joey(Tv On The Fritz) and we're going to go. So, B, (and any other freaks) you coming with?
FYI...Keith Urban is dating Nichole Kidman.
