Watching my Twitter feed last night, it seemed that all of Middle Tennessee (or, at least 143,000 festive folks) was on Lower Broadway to watch the music note drop after listening to live music:

Not everybody was so psyched about the crowds, though:

The same person, Holly Meyer, later noted that getting home after the bash would’ve been a little expensive, at least using ride-sharing services:

Update: Removed bit about the Nashville MTA not working so well after the celebration — turns out the rider was just confused about where to catch the bus.
