The Consultation
"No Boundaries, No Apprehensions and No Compunction!"

The Don has successfully acquired a 40 foot motorcoach called "The Consultation".  It will be at all Tigertown Mafia events however this will not change the unique experience of the Tigertown tailgate scene.  The Consultation will be the staging area for Tigertown Mafia to put on the tailgate each Saturday and to carry us to the away games.

Auburn Trip 2008

We came, we saw, we conquered. 

Oh you want more?  Let's see...Spanky and Barbaro brought the dance floor, before we had everything set up people had found it and were jirating on it.  We formed a U with the Consultation, Jimmy's and Tim's RVs.  We partied inside of this U.  We got blocked into the parking field.  We didn't care because we partied inside of the U.  Some drank a lot and got hurt. Some drank, slept during the game, then blamed it on the medicine they were taking.  Some got stalked.  After the victory we partied some more. Sunday we made it home safe and sound. 

Ole Miss Game 2007

We start by playing P & A on the way to Oxford while Vito drives.  We get there, park and sleep.  We wake up and begin playing P & A again, some of us with whiskey.  We go to game and let everyone know that Eagle Day was THE GREATEST player in the history of Ole Miss.  William is denied access to the M club.  We dominate Ole Miss.  We return to the bus and party hard.  Tim becomes the dance machine.  We sleep where we fall and return home safely the next day. 

Bama game 2007

We depart on a beautiful day and make it safely to the marine corp lot where we are parking the RV for the weekend.  (Great set up at the Marine corp lot by the way). 

We find a rope hanging over the river so we drink a few then do the rope swing into the river.  No one gets paralyzed or dies of hypothermia.

Vito moves bus, brakes go out on a hill.  He acts quick and saves the bus and a fence.  We then pay a guy $150/hour to fix the break line.

We go to the game.  We own Saban and Bama.  We celebrate.  Make it home safely the next day.  

October 11-14, 2007

Tigertown Mafia had to take care of some family business in Tennessee so while on the business trip we decided to catch the LSU/Kentucky game in Lexington.  We left on Wednesday night in the Consultation with the H3 in tow.  The trip was going great until about 4 or 5 hours into the ride we got the most horrid smell coming from the poopy tank.  Upon Vito's instructions water just needed to be poured into the tank as he put some fragrance powder in it before we left.  So I, being the good son I am, volunteered and went to the bathroom to run water in the tank.  About 5 seconds later I came running out gagging and needing fresh air.  I then regrouped, held my shirt over my nose and made sure I breathed only through my mouth.  I went back in and proceeded to dump water into the tank.  After a couple of minutes I could take it no more and came back to the front of the motorhome to get some fresh air.  Imagine my horror when I got to the front and realized there was no fresh air, the smell from the tank had consumed the entire area of the consultation to the point that it even woke up Luca Brasi (yeah, Brent slept the whole time the RV was in motion).  Myself and Luca immediately started trying to open the windows, it was our good fortune that a rest area was ahead which allowed Vito to pull into as he could no longer see due to the smell feeling his eyes up with water.  We pull into the rest area and evacuate before the consultation can even come to a stop.  We let it air out and Vito goes in to distinguish the smell from the tank.  After this we continue on to Pikeville, Tenn.  We get to the state park and are lucky to get the last available RV spot.  We handle some family business that morning then decide to go check out the water fall in the park.

We were excited to see this very popular waterfall in Tenn. however, being that is was fall and water levels are low it appeared the water coming down was simply from a bear peeing over the side of the mountain.  We decided to hike down the side of the mountain to the bottom of the fall, but by this time Vito was clearly getting upset that Michael, his youngest son, could not make the trip. At his lowest point he actually climbed over the side of the mountain holding on only to the edge of a fallen tree while he contemplated life.  After myself and Luca calmed him down and talked him to getting back on the mountain we proceeded to hike to the bottom.  On the way Vito showed his gymnast skills by walking over valleys on fallen trees the whole time imitating what his wife would be telling him, “William you are too old to be doing this!”  But he surprised us young bucks and never fell.  After reaching the bottom we then hiked back up stopping frequently for William to take breaks and rest. 

The next day we headed on to Lexington to prepare for the game.  We decided to hold the first Tigertown Mafia Golf Tournament.  I am happy to tell you that William Day won the stroke contest by a landslide.  Brent came in second only because Travis was enjoying looking for balls and therefore did not play several holes.  Of course we put a Ttown twist on the golf and only played 14 holes so that we could leave to partake in some cold adult beverages. After eating dinner we then proceeded to DQ where William ordered for Brent by saying yes to whatever the server asked him if he wanted. 

The next morning we awoke to do what we do best, TAILGATING FOR LSU FOOTBALL GAMES!  Again we did an excellent job.  In the stadium we literally sat at the highest point of the stadium.  Due to the results of the game there will be no discussion of it.  After the game we loaded up the RV and drove back home.  Again, Luca would know nothing of this as he slept the entire time, but no worries momma Bzan, we got him home safely. 

The company was great, the Consultation was great, the only thing we could have wished for was coming home with a W.  But we do plan on redeeming ourselves for Bama. 

Thank you Vito for an excellent trip!!!!!!

May 18-20, 2007

The consultation came out of the shop and was ready for the road on the 17th so we decided to take it out and try it again.  This time around we had no problems with the Consultation and it is Tigertown Mafia certified road ready.  The boat was almost sacrificed to the Percy Quinn lake gods but a smart memory by John and a quick head plunge into the lake by Travis saved it.  At the end of the trip Jason gave awards as follows:  The Crown to Vito aka William; the Cleaning award to Cardinal Lamberto aka John, the Cooking award to Sonny aka Travis, the Do crazy things on a tube behind a boat award to Michael aka Jason, and the B award to Kerry who shall henceforth be forever known as Barbaro!
And get ready for a Percy Quinn State Park hat being worn to a tailgate near you!

March 20-22, 2007
The Consultation is brought to Percy Quinn State Park in Mississippi for it's inaugural journey.  What to say about this trip...it started with a loud obnoxious buzzing while we were driving that wouldn't turn off and ended with us being brought home by Leslie's parents.  The Consultation was pulled behind a wrecker straight to the shop, but in true Tigertown Mafia fashion we still made it do what it do and we had a great time.  No harm no foul...except for those poor saps following behind us on the way up there, nothing like a good oil spraying all over your vehicle...oh yeah, and that one innocent cabinet door William decided to murder for no good reason.  But hey, nothing a little carpentry can't fix...after all, it was going straight to the shop!
