Chattanooga Tweet-Up 2011

Last December, the Twitter Cigar Community had its first "Tweet-Up" almost by accident at Buckhead Cigars in Atlanta. At the time, I talked with Jerry Cruz from Stogie Review and he said, "Maybe we should do this at Burns next year." We spoke about it again a few months later and now the plans are moving ahead like a locomotive with a full head of steam...

On Friday, August 12, and Saturday, August 13, Burns Tobacconist, the Tiki Bar Online and Stogie Review invite any and all of you come on down to Chattanooga, Tennessee, for the 2nd Tweet-Up (will this be Annual? Who knows?).

We are still working on lots of details, but this is what we know right now...

The main gathering of smoking Twitterers will be at Burns East, 110 Jordan Drive, Chattanooga, also the home of the Chattanooga Billiards Club (CBC). CBC has a full restaurant, full bar, many pool tables

There will be great deals on cigars available all weekend. We are hoping to have representatives from several manufacturers on hand as well, especially some of those who have become fixtures on Twitter.

We are planning an outing to see the Chattanooga Lookouts play baseball at AT&T Field, on the banks of the Tennessee River (the Lookouts are a minor league affiliate of the L.A. Dodgers). If we have enough people voice interest, we are looking at getting a luxury box for the game (about $20 a head).

There are a few hotels we are looking at for accommodations, but we will need some feedback as to how many people will likely be there and how much you want to spend.

Mostly, though, this will be a fun, kick-back gathering of a bunch of cigar-smokers. We hope you can join us.

A special page will be set up soon here on the Tiki Bar and additional information will be added as it becomes available. In the meantime, if you have any questions or comments or just want to say "I'll be there!" leave a comment below or send me an e-mail at tikibaronline@mac.com.
