Canon looks amazing.

It is, but it's also quite expensive in some people's opinion. I won't presume to know your budget, but this is not the place to go on the cheap.
If you have your heart set on going, make a reservation. There have been times we took a chance and stopped by without one only to be turned away by the long wait.

My 30th birthday is on a Saturday when I'm in Seattle - what is a real good whiskey bar that has a nice selection?

Cafe Munir is a Lebanese restaurant pretty well hidden in the Ballard neighborhood. The owner is a whisky fanatic and has a selection of just about anything you can imagine. You wouldn't expect that in a Lebanese restaurant, but there it is. The food is great, too.

[edit] Crap! I'm too late. You will just have to come back to Seattle.

Just an update to this...

Nashville was awesome, did a bunch of typical tourist stuff but also did some other cool things. Checked out East Nashville and went a couple places down there to eat, did the Jack Daniels tour, went Arnolds for meat and three, went Gruhn guitars and the vintage guitar shop next to Arnolds... played a 65 & 66 Jazz and also a 63 Precision! RCA Studio B was also a highlight.

Flying to Seattle in 30 mins!

Black Rabbit is a cool place. Tennessee Brew Works is my favorite brewery (2 for 1 drafts on Wednesday night, 6-8). The Lovelace Cafe is an excellent restaurant for traditional southern foods. The Flying Saucer has an enormous beer selection.

The Basement, Exit/In, Marathon, Acme Feed and Seed, The Ryman....all great venues, but there are dozens more all around the area that cater to all different types of music.

I've lived in Nashville and in the vicinity of it all my life, 34 years, and I can say that there is a ridiculous amount of things to do. If you'd like to know any specifics, feel free to ask.

Tennessee Brew Works was a good shout.

What all did you see? I was absolute crap weather here. Hot, pretty miserable for this time of year.

Had some spicy chicken from Hattie B's, went to Belle Meade plantation, did the Johnny Cash museum, country music hall of fame and the musicians hall of fame. Rounded it all off by going to the state capitol building.
