CMA 2008 Music Festival Activities & Sights
May 29 to June 3, 2008. We normally look for 1/2 price PPA Campgrounds COE Campgrounds or National Park Campgrounds. But in Nashville, over the Memorial Day weekend Two Rivers Campground is our choice.
CMA 2008 Music Festival Sign
Somewhere in the Fan Fair Hall we saw this sign.
We have seen several several signs & T shirts with a similar slogans concerning SLEEP. We are beginning to understand the signs. There is just too much to see and do to sleep. This pace is going to catch up with us sometime.
Sommet Center Nashville Tennessee during CMA 2008 Music Festival
For those of you who listen to XM radio this is where the XM country music radio program is broadcast from. That glass building is located on the corner of 5th Avenue and Broadway in Downtown Nashville across the street from Fan Fair Hall in the Convention Center.
Naked Cowboy outside The Ryman Auditorium 2008 CMA Music Festival
As we were walking to Fan Fair Hall in the Nashville Convention Center we noticed a crowd as we passed by the Rhyman Auditorium. As we got closer (actually we were across 5th Avenue) we determined that it was the Naked Cowboy that was causing the stir. He had a "tip-box" and women were posing with him. What a hoot! Women were lined up to get their picture taken with the "Naked Cowboy". This was the most outrageous thing we saw during the entire CMA Music Fest, and it was more funny than anything.
And for any of you that might be thinking anything------NO, Joyce didn't get her picture made with the Naked Cowboy! Guess who made me add that qualifying statement. vbg
Riverfront Stage at 2008 CMA Music Festival
Around 5:30 we decided to take our bag full of loot back to the motorhome and freshen up before returning to LP Field for the big concert. On the way across the bridge we snapped this picture of the large crowd still gathered at River Front Stage. Mind you a crowd this size has been there since 10am this morning and will not leave until 6:30pm when the music shuts down and the crowd moves to LP Field for tonights show on the Big Stage.
Marine FA-18's Flying Over LP Field to open tonights Show
At LP Field the Marine Corps did a low-level fly over with 4 FA-18's each night. Joyce got all 4 of them in this picture.
There is nothing like spending time with my best friend. It sure makes life worth living. I feel like the luckiest guy in the world.
One day we went for an afternoon cruise on the General Jackson Showboat that boards jusd down the road from where we are staying at Two Rivers Campground.
