Cream The Great Nashville Flood of 2010: How You Doin'?
Posted by Steve Haruch on Mon, May 3, 2010 at 7:45 AM
Good morning, Nashville — hope everybody's OK, and preferably dry. If you were bummed that the flood ruined your plans to see Goo Goo Dolls at The Ryman, the show got rescheduled for tonight. However, if you've been following the #OtherSituation2010, you've heard that downtown's been closed between First and Fifth. Basically, don't go downtown right now. In other bad news, the Schermerhorn is apparently taking on water.
The one music venue we'd be most concerned about in a time like this is The Basement, but we haven't heard anything. Geoff, Grimey, everything OK? Mercy Lounge survived; according to their Twitter account, they're canceling their Cinco de Mayo party and instead they're putting together a show "to raise some money to help the city and people we love. ... We need bands and more." Email drew [at] mercylounge.com to get involved. To get involved in other ways, go to Hands on Nashville, where volunteer efforts are being coordinated. They definitely need you. And if you get out in some flood water, wash your hands afterward. Speaking of water, we're headed for a shortage, so please limit your water usage to drinking and cooking. (If your bong's low, try brandy.)
Let us know how you're doing in the comments, or give us a shout on Twitter.

Hey guys, Grimey and Geoff here. We are happy to report that The Basement sustained
the weekend activities without a scratch. Was nervous a bit early yesterday when we couldn't
get over to the building to check out due to flooded areas around the fairground and Berry Hill
area. Made it over at about 5pm and all was perfectly intact. Thanks for thinking of us. We are open tonight!

Glad to hear it, guys.
If anyone knows of shows that have been canceled, please let us know in the comments or shoot an email over to cream [at] nashvillescene.com.
I think this mess can truly provide a means for this scene to come together again. The past few months around here have been riddled with bickering and useless feuds/grudges. I think this Mercy Lounge fundraising effort is a good start. Let's put everything aside and help give back to the city we love that has given us so much.
I'm thankful for the Nashville Weather Penis:

yeah, but let's not put ALL of the bickering or useless feuds/grudges aside, because they make for very entertaining Cream threads.
