Pocket Chicken

Date: 2026-05-27 AO: Pocket Chicken Q: Giving Tree , PAX: Ultratecht, Hot Route, greyalbum, Giving Tree FNGs: None COUNT: 4 Unfortunately it was discovered that one of our own is not who they claim to be.
One of us in attendance goes by a different name. This individual hates nicknames so goes by a middle name, but not even sure if that is true. I don’t know up from down anymore.
Turns out you can work out with someone for years and not even know their real identity. Everyone stay safe out there and be aware of “slick Willy” roaming the streets of east Nashville. Either on foot or roller skates.
