  Here's an enticing twofer: Get discounted Iron Fork tickets this weekend while cruising the candy-colored cookware at Le Creuset. The cookware store in Green Hills, which is providing gleaming stainless steel and enameled equipment for competitors in the Scene's May 6 culinary showdown, will have tickets on sale for $25. That's compared to $30 online or $40 at the door of the Country Music Hall of Fame on the night of the event--if it doesn't sell out like it did last year. Le Creuset is locat

• Next Big Nashville Creative Conference: Kinda Like College, Really

  Actually, it's a lot like college, even down to the seating arrangement. In a bizarre repeat of Paul Allen's Spring '06 Artist Management class I ended up with Mikky Ekko and Jordan Maddison of Teleprompt Management trying desperately to stay awake. Weird. The panels have been a steady reminder that I owe tens of thousands of dollars to MTSU, and have a snowball's chance in hell of paying it back--this was driven home when a fellow conference-goer got a call from the Student Assistance Corporati

This edition: Lower Broad's emergence as a peep-show paradise in the late 1970s, the three-decade saga of that bare patch of ground by the Music Row Roundabout, a millennial view of the restaurant scene, state Dems' botched swipe at a Swift-boater, and a Triple Crown champ's ancestral ties to Belle Meade Plantation.

• Weekend Round-Up: Olympic Gold Style

  ​I initially wanted to call this one "The Biggest Luger Style," but that obviously seems a bit insensitive in light of recent events. Nevertheless, I've noticed that the Winter Olympics are actually pretty damn fun as long as you have a bit of alcohol handy and the sport you're watching requires a helmet. Apparently the competition in this year's men's figure skating events is pretty heated, but if it doesn't involve speeds of at least 40 m.p.h. then forget it.* Ain't interested. For those
