Still truckin’…

Well I’m back in the States safe and sound, but don’t think I forgot this blog! I’m still trying to find the time to discuss my last week in Copenhagen and to write an entry that appropriately expresses my feelings about the whole experience (if I can even put them into words). As soon as I touched ground at Dulles International, I began reuniting with my long-lost family (including my mom who burst into tears at the sight of me) and my friends, as well as studying for the LSAT, which I took this past Monday. Early Tuesday I jetted off to the Country Music Association (CMA) Music Festival in Nashville, where I am competing with other students for CMA’s Award of Merit, so I haven’t had any free time for myself, or this blog. I really want to win the Award of Merit, so if you can, please read my stories on http://blog.cmafest.com/ and leave wonderful comments. That would really help me out! I’m only halfway through the festival and I’ve already had to many amazing experiences. Being close and backstage to Tim McGraw while he sang to a sold-out stadium, meeting Taylor Swift, seeing Nicole Kidman watch hubby Keith Urban on stage, sitting front row in a press conference for Julianne Hough, Josh Turner, Miranda Lambert, Keith Urban, and Reba- all of these experiences have reconfirmed my belief that I should work in the music business. Magic moment of the night- Keith Urban dedicating a spectacular version of the Beatles’ “With a Little Help From My Friends” to everyone in Nashville who helped after the flood. It was truly electric.

Anyhow, I have to get up bright and early tomorrow morning to do some more coverage of the festival, but I just wanted to let everyone know I haven’t forgotten about you. And check out http://blog.cmafest.com/ and leave comments on my posts, please! Thanks!

peace, love, and nashville.

  1. I can just see your Mom burst into tears at the very site of you. We Moms just do not like to let go, even though our children are young adults. You seem very responsible and I know your parents are proud of you. I know I am. love you Aunt Chris
    I am confused how you got to the CMAs if you were out of the country. I guess I missed something. It’s a blond thing.

  2. I just got it. You were back in the U.S. competing for the Merit Award. I just know you made it and I am already proud of you for competing.
