Despite the cold, Music City is always busy! Even the Frogs were out last night.

From our family to yours - Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Great night at the Nashville tree lighting and took in a holiday market as well!

Attended my first Music City Walk-of-Fame induction ceremony this afternoon! What an interesting event and great way to honor the musicians and industry figures who have contributed to Nashville’s music heritage!

My week… speaking at the Nashville Rotary lunch, pitching a Narcan concept at the Civic Tech Jam, attending our Lunch & Learn on mental health, sitting on a panel at a forum for the OKC Chamber visiting Nashville.

Really enjoyed the opportunity to share our efforts in the Mayor’s Office of Nightlife with members of the Nashville Rotary!

Reese Witherspoon on Diane Keaton hiring her as a fresh-faced girl from Nashville. #RIP

We had a nice turnout for our first Lunch & Learn - NITE School program! We heard from Rachael Smith who serves as an in-house counselor for Biscuit Love. We need better access to mental health in general, but especially in our hospitality related industries.

Had a great time being part of the ribbon cutting ceremony for Post Malone’s new bar, Posty’s!

So sad… the system failed this little girl and then failed her again as an adult. He was in a position of trust when he took advantage of her, which should give him a tougher sentence. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

I really enjoyed serving on a panel during the IATR conference held In Nashville! I enjoyed sharing our work on musician parking discounts, our work with MVAN - Music Venue Alliance of Nashville, and our collaborative efforts with numerous agencies within the city when planning for major events.

Really proud of this recognition for “Project of the Year” and for the efforts of the Office of Nightlife and our partners like @erinfor12.bsky.social MNPD (Sgt. Mike Hotz), the SMART Initiative (Trevor), West Virginia Drug Intervention Institute with ONEbox!

Really proud of this program that the Mayor’s Office of Nightlife helped create! www.wkrn.com/video/provid...

Really enjoyed being a part of MNPD’s Night Out Against Crime!

Be sure to check out our new Nashville Mayor’s Office of Nightlife website that went live today! We have a lot of work yet to do, but check back often for updates! Great job to our own Kennetha Price who helped design it! Www.Nashville.gov/departments/...

I get to do some really cool stuff in this position! Walking around Nissan Stadium with Sgt. Hotz and installing ONEboxes at another major venue is right up there. This means every professional sports team in Nashville has installed opioid reversal ONEboxes in their venue! Very exciting!

The Southern Festival of Books is alive, for at least this year, thanks to funding from Vanderbilt and a number of foundations. nashvillebanner.com/2025/07/03/s...

I don’t have a problem with billionaires. However, if the choice is between billionaires or making sure someone has basics to survive, that’s a no-brainer

I recall that Al Gore, Sr., once voted to end the Vietnam War despite knowing it could very well end his political career, which came to fruition. I’m disgusted by the Murkowskis of the world who sell out the other 49 states to protect their own political career.

Happy Pride!

Just chilling at the Ryman!

The Office of Nightlife had an incredible day touring venues with Jim Peters (President of the Responsible Hospitality Institute - RHI) in anticipation of the 2026 Sociable City Conference in Nashville!

I’m glad to hear this program is saving lives. One of our boxes was used over the weekend! www.marketplace.org/story/2025/0...

I just want to remind everyone that we can take care of our most vulnerable citizens and still have a strong military and wealthy billionaires… notice I said “and” not “or”… I’m just dumbfounded by where we are as a nation at this point in time…

These two are just absolutely incredible friends and partners to me! I attended my first Juneteenth celebration tonight! These guys know how to put together an inspiring and powerful program. I’m fortunate to have Darius and Big Fella in my life and Nashville is lucky to have them as well!

I’m excited to announce a collaboration between the Office of Nightlife, Metro-Nashville Public Schools, and the Metro Health Department. We’ll be installing ONEboxes / Narcan into each of the 135 Metro schools!

They really see these immigrants as sub-human. Just disgusting and sad. How do you get to a point where you can’t recognize another person’s value?

All of this 100%!

I actually had a lot of respect for Mace when she first came into office. She seemed like an independent thinker, but a switch was flipped and she went all out on the trans community. Just a sad descent into whatever this is.

Last night, we were joined on Broadway by a group from Belmont School of Pharmacy. We toured the District with them, including visiting Printers Alley. It was interesting hearing their perspective of helping the Red Frogs and learning about the EDU.

Please repeat over and over: “Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.” —Gov. JB Pritzker

I had the honor of speaking before the Metro Council this afternoon, in coordination with Sgt. Mike Hotz. We shared an update on the ONEbox initiative and the distribution of Narcan. Thank you to CM @erinfor12.bsky.social for the invitation!

Given who is batting, who is on deck and who is in the hole… feels like my Dodgers are trying REALLY hard for that first loss…

I really enjoyed walking the District with my team, @judytacketttn.bsky.social, and Dan with the Red Frogs. Gaining her insight on Nightlife and the homeless community will be invaluable! I look forward to furthering this collaboration! @herschelfrench.bsky.social

It was truly an honor to be on the podcast! I really appreciate the invitation and opportunity to discuss the Office of Nightlife and what we do.

Last year, we came together as a city to decide on a better future for moving around Nashville with #ChooseHowYouMove. Getting right to work has been one of the most exciting parts of the past few months. Nice to see the future coming into view! www.nashville.gov/departments/...

Thank you to @predsnhl.bsky.social , @predsident.bsky.social , and Michelle Kennedy for your efforts to save lives! We distributed Narcan for 17 ONEboxes that were installed strategically with AEDs throughout @bridgestonearena.bsky.social

I'm warm and in a house. Open Table Nashville seeks to help fellow Nashvillians who aren't. We'll vouch for this org. Giving feels good. And it's going to be extremely cold this week.

Really excited about our work with Dr. Cynthia George to address nightlife access for the disability community! www.newschannel5.com/news/advisor...

That seems about right. These two were made for each other LOL
