Details
A Too Hot to Hike Summer Series Event
Updated Moved the eating place to Southside Pizza after. Possible brunch the following morning
Lots of Wisdom has come from this Wonderful brown liquid.
“Too much of anything is bad, but too much good whiskey is barely enough.” – Mark Twain
“Never cry over spilt milk. It could’ve been whiskey.” – Maverick
“Always carry a flagon of whisky in case of snakebite, and furthermore, always carry a small snake.” – W.C. Fields
“Happiness is having a rare steak, a bottle of whisky, and a dog to eat the rare steak.” – Johnny Carson
“Love makes the world go round? Not at all. Whiskey makes it go round twice as fast.” – Compton MacKenzie
“While I can't walk on water, I can certainly wobble on whisky.” – Ashwin Sanghi
I love my Authors and this guy is a great one
“My own experience has been that the tools I need for my trade are paper, tobacco, food, and a little whisky.” – William Faulkner
But I can't leave it without a quote by One of my absolute favorite authors.
"Never delay kissing a pretty girl or opening a bottle of whiskey"-Ernest Hemingway
Pretty sure he he knows what he's talking about. Well, at least about the Whiskey. It's harmless. The other can get you in trouble.
My favorite movie quote is only tangentially related to Whiskey. It is about Scotch. It is from a movie I love for more than a few reasons. It's We Bought a Zoo.
“You don’t want me. I’m filled with Scotch, bitterness and impure thoughts!”
I knew we had to do this when I got to their website and it said "It's like Whiskey heaven" I want to go there. I'll be good, mostly, and I won't delay in opening a bottle either. It doesn't get you in trouble. However, the other may.
There's an unlimited tasting ticket with my name on it, but they have several other levels of tickets. Even Designated driver, but I am doubting anyone would drive me to Scottsboro. So I guess I will have to behave or get another room at the Crashpad.
Get you're ticket and more info here

And for cheap accommodations so you're not driving.

Crash Pad has a fire pit. If you stay there we could all hang around the fire pit after and sing Kumbaya. Kids don't get the Wholesome campy stuff like that we did back in the day, Hey, I'll be the old Dude at the Hostel. I can teach them the song and freely dispense Whiskey induced wisdom. They'll be so lucky!
There most probably will be food trucks, but this thing knocks off at 5:00 so let's skip the Food truck fare unless there's funnel cake or fried Cheese curds and wobble over to Southside Pizza for Dinner. Grab a slice and unwind. It's kind close and walkable. plus it is an easy wobble back to the crash pad where I am staying. We've eaten ere before and it is delicious.
Here's their info
They have Beer, but after bourbon.... Oooff!
Probably planning a brunch the following morning.
The following afternoon it is Chicken wings! They are having a Chicken wing festival back at First Horizon.
