Twilight's Robert Pattinson Spends an Evening at the Chattanooga Billiards Club

Would you please contact Phil Windham and try to get your history and facts about the Chattanooga Billiards Club correct. The downtown club was opened in the fall of 1982 and Mike Massey was never in anyway associated with its ownership. Phil and Mike were in a partnership earlier on some gamerooms in Chattanooga but they had dissolved the partnership earlier in 1982 before Phil opened the downtown room. Originally he did have a partner (not Mike) but that was short lived and he bought him out. The business from the beginning was developed on the idea of league and entertainment business based on average business people, as Phil puts it butcher, baker and candlestick maker, not on action player and unsavory element of pool.
I will send an email request, but you know that section of About the Chattanooga Billiard Club I put in there? Its directly from their website:

You have my sincerest apology. This information from the website is incorrect and now I'm curious who wrote it. It wasn't done by Phil (he's computer illiterate) and doesn't do any of his website work.
By the way, there have several celebrities to visit the two CBC's over the years for Michael Jordan to Timothy Hutton to New York Mayor Giuliani just recently.

LOL no worries amigo.
When I do a story of national significance, I try to vette info pretty darn close to the vest. getting it word for word from their website is about as CYA as it comes.
I can imagine that the CBC has a HUGE history and celebrity passthrough. Personally, one day I want to go check out the Hemingway room.

The Hemingway room is nice but is really just used for parties and some cigar events. The room is the Havana room which is the private club within the club. It's based around the common factor of cigars and a bunch guys getting together enjoying the evening.
The reason I got a little perturbed was this story about the new manager has been misreported all over the media both print and broadcast, even the local stations screwed it all up. The guy was only working there two days before the federal marshals came and got him.
hey you gave it your best shot at getting the facts right. not your fault they took some liberties on the site. i will however say this... i could care less about the twink from twilight playing pool. it makes playing pool seem much less cool knowing he's even been in a pool hall. i know i am getting old but those movies suck ass. i rented the first one because my girl's daughter told me it was about vampires and she knows i like a good vampire story. and about half way through that i wasn't sure what the hell i was watching. the chick looks more like a guy than the guy
btw - funny as hell pic posted above.

I agree. It's not normally my cup of tea as well.
My articles are probably in the range of 95% pure billiards, and 5% odd billiards news. Twilight 'sells' on google and in the news arena, and sometimes I need to put out fluff to get people of that generation to read some other articles on billiards.
Its the Tiger Woods effect... so many kids who never would have thought of learning golf, suddenly wanted to learn and play because a celebrity did it.

no doubt about it. you gotta throw stuff in to appeal to the masses. i was just throwing it out there that i don't get the mass appeal of those movies and books (as i said i am older, but that just seems like pure crap that even the kids wouldn't like). i remember when i was a tean the popular vampire movie was the lost boys and i wasn't thrilled with that. but compared to twilight, the lost boys is down right dark.
Just imagine how Harry Potter has made a single mother a billionaire.
As a Christian who understands power, I can see exactly why so many kids are drawn to Harry Potter, Twilight, etc... todays church has no power. I cant remember the last time I actually saw one of these ministers or elders actually trust and manifest the Holy Spirit, though they will swear to the death it happens because they read about it, and preach it from a book.
Children are drawn to power, and if the Light isnt administering it, the Dark side is more than happy to draw them in.
Sorry for the religious rant here... I just feel for the kids and the last 2 generations.
