I sure hope we like each other...

Quick side-note before I begin for those that aren't in the know, but I moved from Atlanta back to Ohio in April. I jumped ship from Halyard Health (please take 15min to watch the 60min link below that proves I made a good decision http://www.cbsnews.com/news/60-minutes-investigates-medical-gear-sold-during-ebola-crisis/) and took a job with Starbucks Corporate - CPG, not retail - at their satellite office here in Cincinnati. This explains much of my absence from the blog and emails, but I'm planning this weekend locally versus from afar as originally anticipated. And hopefully working for one of the most socially and ecologically aware public companies in the world is enough to keep Beas from complaining about pollution for four days - but he'll probably complain about the red cup thing...chump dick.

Anyway, the reason for this post is to unveil the next step in PCTI evolution. It comes with some good news and some bad news.  The good news, we've locked up a 7 bedroom 3 story mansion just northeast of downtown (5min) that claims to be able to sleep 20. I've been vigorously texting with the owner of the joint over the past 12 hours and this guy promises an incredible experience. He got so excited after I told him the backstory of our trip that he just about teleported through the phone and tried to jump on my non-chumpy D. You've all likely gotten an email invite from airbnb, so go in and accept that invite ASAP.  So what's the bad news?  Bad news is that we will not be holding a roommate draft. But I look at it this way, it allows for the opportunity to have a Real World like entrance and bed selection process -- so if you're the last one in town that Wednesday, good luck.  Or we could just make the rooks sleep in the attic with Fuller. So why is this the best thing you'll hear all month:
  1. We've never done it before
  2. Invariably everyone tries to fit in a small hotel room to hang out as a group and it's always miserably small
  3. Less corralling of people to gather for departing to gym, food, entertainment, etc
  4. Increased downtime comfort, instead of laying in a bed that someone else likely just sat on for 45min with post game sweat...couches galore
  5. MORE DEUCE FOR EVERYONE
  6. It costs the same as a hotel would downtown for an F'ng mansion
Here are just a few questions I asked the host in case you were wondering the same:
Will you provide additional towels and linens?  Because we will be showering A Lot.
Yes
Do you have a backyard?
Yes, but it's small-ish (no idea what that means and there is no picture on the website)
If an issue comes up during the stay, is there someone nearby to address the concern?
Yes, the host is a qualified Super Host or some shit based off the amount of business he does with airbnb and the reviews he's gotten at all of his properties.
Is Wes Murray allowed on the premises?
Pending 

Expect more information from me in the coming weeks as that I10 rounds into shape. Also, know one thing...I'm puttin in work to make sure that this weekend is the best one you'll have all year.

Until next time...

  1. I'm sold on this. I think it'll be good for everyone to hang out as a group and it'll be easier organizing shit. With that said, there's two negatives with this place. No AC (at least I think that's what I saw) and only 2 showers for 16 people. So bring a fan and get ready for group showers! ;)

  4. Yo Stick, there are window units and fans. I'm also requesting access to the showers at the gym so anyone interested can shower there post game. From now on though, keep that negative garbage outta here.
