Man O man, it's been awhile gang! I'd love to make it! Didn't get an email, likely since I've been MIA for awhile. Thanks to Vincent to giving me a heads up, as I'd love to reconnect and make some new Emofriends!
Derek (LOL, just saw my profile picture. It has been awhile! I don't look that young anymore and I have LOTS more hair lol!) (Update, profile updated...)

Does anyone have a recommendation on a "preferred" hotel?

That I know of, this makes five of us Lounge members and a couple of wives thus far, and it looks like a few others as well. Sounds like this "Tru By Hilton" is now the Unofficial Official EmoFest 2024 hotel! |

Nice!!! I couldn't talk the GF into coming down for a Nerdy day at Emotive LOL When it was going to be in Nashville we talked about it but the change of location took away her interest.

I have a feeling that my wife and I will be spending some time in Nashville. From Tru to downtown Nashville is ~20 minutes. Mark |

Mark You are correct, from BNA(airport) to Franklin, especially late evening or early morning isn’t any more than 25min. A word of warning from a local: Nashville traffic has become increasingly worse over the years. Weekends may be different, but weekdays are a parking lot. We haven't begun to hit rush hour and it's currently 30 min to Nashville and 40 minutes to BNA from Tru in Cool Springs. YMMV. |

Thanks for the heads-up, my plane gets in right before 9pm on that Friday, so by the time I get my rental, 9:30pm at the latest, I figure traffic at that time shouldn’t be too bad. Same with my flight out at 7am, so heading to BNA 5:00-5:15am shouldn’t be bad either on a Sunday morning or should it? |

I've been through many times on my way to Alabama the last few years, and you are right...rush hour stinks! But, weekends and non-rush hours are reasonable. I time my drives to avoid their rush hours, for sure. Mark |

We've had people parking thier cars on I-40 and walking to the airport during evening rush hours recently because of traffic. But late evenings and weekends aren't much of a problem. Took a certification class in South Nashville (not far from Lane Auto Museum), had to leave by 7:30 am to make it there by 9 am from Murfreesboro. |

Regarding Friday night, we might want to get a PM going and exchange numbers so we can coordinate. We'll be getting to the hotel around 4pm Friday so we're good for a dinner.
