[...] still have a couple hours to contribute your name suggestions to Nashville’s upcoming mid-sized music venue in Marathon Village and, potentially, win [...]
“SoundLand”
Sala Verde =green room. Both to stand for a “before the show” room for artists and to tie in to the Eco-friendly side. Plus, sala references wedding receptions and meetings, not just an empty room – a party room! Plus, marketing/branding would be easy…
Spiridon Soundstage:
Spiridon Louis was the first winner of the Olympic Marsthon race. Spiridon is also a planet on Doctor Who…
I think it should simply be “The Phoenix”
all good comments!!!
“Phoenix Ballroom” since when built the Building was the Phoenix Cotton Mill back in 1881
Can’t wait to see it!
How about LeftStream, as opposed to Boring Stream Music Row?
I was reading the piece on the nature of the club and, although the information was understandably somewhat sparse, it appeared to me that the club was going to be edgy but with a degree of sincere thought to it’s mission. That’s why I’m suggesting a little of both concepts incorporated into the name “Mindfield”. At any rate, there’s never enough venues that produce good quality entertainment and this club sounds great. I can’t wait to see how it turns out. I wish you the best!
The Electric Ballroom…..BOOM!! That was easy. Gimme my prize…
Cadence Factory
Hell yes, i have need of write something preference this if it in its name sense not that didnt have time, may i repost this connection Your Venue Contest » Lightning 100
[WORDPRESS HASHCASH] The poster sent us ’0 which is not a hashcash value.
the explanation for my submission *the Herald* is that marathon runners in Athens (like in the legend of Pheidippides the Greek runner) were called Road-Heralds… so the Herald=The Runner… Those who take part in a Marathon!
well I keep coming back to the lyrics of an Ice Cube song ” Life is not a sprint it’s a Marathon ” so I guess that is my submission makes sense to me since it will be a mutli purpose space ( I still miss 328 )
What better name than The Bells. In memory of Arabella Ann Cobb the Bells will ring with everything from music, dance , weddings and more. Let Bella’s bells ring with every event that takes place in this Venue for years to come.
hhhmmm gonna have to brainstorm on this…
“Rahmaton” (it’s an anagram of Marathon)
What better name for a venue in Marathon Village than 26.2!!
