Chattanooga...no, seriously.

Friends, rodents, brethren, lend me your rears,



Before I get started, please note that I understand it is a kind of a long shot. All I am asking from everyone is to give me a chance and really take a second to consider what follows.





Before I kick this thing off, allow me to blow your fucking minds...please see #25 in the following link:

BW, Bambi, AHOP, my Bestie, and the rest of you music and artsy fairies, Chattanooga has become the hipster capital of the world. If you read the article thoroughly, you'll notice that the pinnacle is in April (which, you guessed it, ironically is when PCTI tends to traditionally fall). There will be a ton going on with all that. Bars will be poppin' and panties will droppin'.





Travel:





There are pros and cons to the logistics of having PCTI IV in Chatty. Our airport is pretty small and you will most likely have to connect if you decide to fly in. I don't really have a valid rebuke to that, except: quit crying.





Obviously, Chattanooga is a short, scenic 2-hour shot down I-24 for you Nashville boys so I shouldn't have to sell this to you...but I will. I don't get paid in raccoon pelts like the rest of you homos, but not having to pay for a flight should be a no-brainer.





Nightlife/Downtown scene:





I have lived here for over 3 years now and live right in the middle of downtown. I know all the best bars and restaurants. Bruiser, Ca$h, Abe, all you boys who love to eat and drink and have your fun, here are a few links to some cool bars and great restaurants:

Champy's is one of my favorite spots, its a blues bar that serves diesel ass fried chicken and 40 oz. bottles. There's quite a few spots that aren't on these lists, but it's a pretty good idea of some of the places to go.





Gym:





I have several gyms that we can use. One of my good buddies dad is the AD of Chattanooga Central High School here in Chatty and has already given us the go ahead. There are several other gyms in the area that I play pick up games at. Finding a gym will not be an issue.





Refs/Stats/camera crew: I have no really looked into lining that up yet, but I know enough people in this town by now that it will not be an issue either.





Here is my final point: I know some of you really want to travel long distances, go to exotic, bigger cities and all that. However, it has been brought up before that we never really even get out that much and sight see around the city. This weekend is about the BASKETBALL. Chattanooga provides more than enough entertainment by way of bars, restaurants, nightclubs, etc. for everyone. It is in a great location (especially for the Nashville guys). I have lived here for long enough and have enough contacts in the city by now to line everything up. As I said before, everyone knows that this weekend is about the basketball more than anything. If that truly is the case, we should seriously consider bringing PCTI IV to the Scenic City.
