A Big Pulle Party

The Nashville Scene’s Matt Pulle attends a going away party for Vandy’s Flack-In Chief and in his report makes sure to cover his transparent name-dropping by “keeping it real” and insulting the looks of every male attendee:

The last two mayors, Karl Dean and Bill Purcell, were in attendance, although I missed Purcell and would have missed Dean had I not ventured into the tiny area of the ballroom that he occupied quietly. Also there were former Tennessean editor and publisher John Seigenthaler, USA Today editor Ken Paulson and Tennessean publisher Ellen Leifeld. Some of the top lawyers I spotted were Lee Barfield, Paul Ney, Keith Simmons, Byron Trauger and his wife U.S District Judge Aleta Trauger. Pith’s own Bruce Barry was in attendance rocking a ratty pair of jeans and a gray sweatshirt—his standard uniform—as was former Scene hitman Jim Spragens, who now toils for Rep. Jim Cooper and probably was the best-looking guy in the room. (Which I don’t say as a compliment to Spragens.) ACLU honcho Hedy Weinberg and Hillsboro Village activist and attorney Jayne Gordon rounded out the guest list. Incredibly, I didn’t spy Lucius Carroll.
