After six hours on the road (three there and three back), we’ve pretty much recovered from our Nashville trip to see the great Eddie Izzard.  Overall, it was a great trip and Eddie was riot.  He did nearly two hours of standup, then stood outside the Ryman theater for 20 minutes talking to his fans.  Like an idiot, I didn’t take my camera, so I’ll have to wait for Anna to dump the images from her camera so I can post them.

There were lots of cool things about the day.  It started a little rough when Budget didn’t have the car that we reserved (insert Seinfeld joke here).  They made up for it a couple of hours later by upgrading us to a Prius.  So not only did we have a good time in Nashville, we did the trip with a shade of green.  I think my next car will be a Prius or some similar hybrid.  We averaged 45 MPG there and back, and that’s without hypermiling.

We also met up with Lizzie from The Leaky Cauldron.  It’s always nice to meet up with Leaky people, as they seem to be some of the nicest people I’ve met.  So nice, in fact, that I married one of them.  😛

We’ve got to go back to Nashville in a week.  Maria got her  appointment to get her biometrics taken for the green card application.  I’m pretty sure that just means fingerprinting, so that means we’ll drive for six hours in total for about 10 minutes worth of processing.  We’re going to make the most of it, though, and go down the night before.  We’re also going to try and meet up with Lizzie again.  More news as there is news!
