The Nooga

Second straight week of travel leads me to Chattanooga, TN. Unfortunately, I'm working this week so its not all fun and games. We did have some good times as The Nooga, as called by a radio station there, was better than expected. We had a nice hotel, had some solid meals including Memphis ribs, didn't work late, and the weather was hot but not as bad as Dallas.

The highlight of the trip came on our last dinner. We're at this steak place throwing down bottles of South African Shiraz and 20 oz. filets. Our manager had continually joked with us that day that Vanilla Ice was in town for a show and we needed to go. As we're wrapping up our dinner, the server comes up to us and says "I'm not supposed to do this when someone famous is here, but Vanilla Ice is eating right over there with his manager." I could not believe it. Mr. Ice Ice Baby himself having a steak before the big show. All I wanted to do was approach him and say "Hey man, pleasure to meet you. Good luck at the show tonight." I never got the chance as his two man entourage was leaving right after the server gave us the news.

So that's the fun that was had in The Nooga. Can't wait for what's in store in Alabama next week...
