FALL 2009:

This year we attended runs hosted by the Conductors in Nashville back in March, and by the Argonauts and the Castaways MC in Wisconsin in August.  We had planned to make our final run appearance of the year the Panther run in Atlanta in November, but they unfortunately had to cancel their run.  On a positive note, we're even more of a family than ever due to the addition of a couple of new local associates.

HOME BAR:  The Pumping Station (formerly the Pipeline), 1382 Poplar at Cleveland in midtown Memphis.

OFFICIAL RESTAURANT:  Zinnie's East, 1718 Madison at Belvedere, for brunch most every Sunday.  Look for us! 

 Don't even think about attempting to do a road trip with the men of T.L.T., else you may get caught up in something like this:

The Tennessee Leather Tribe colors consist of a teal-colored silhouette of the State of Tennessee superimposed on an inverted triangular depiction of the Leather Pride Flag, against a beige oval background with the title of the club encircling it.

The teal color of the Tennessee silhouette calls to mind the hills and forests for which the state is famous.  The inverted triangle is a reference to the pink and black triangles used in Nazi concentration camps of World War II to denote gay male and lesbian prisoners. The leather pride flag consists of alternating black and blue stripes with a white stripe in the center, and a red heart in the upper left-hand corner. Black symbolizes the heavy leather/SM contingent, the blue Levi/denim, and the white the unity of the two. The red heart symbolizes the loving bond of brotherhood of those in the scene.

Optionally, a gold star in the southwest corner of the Tennessee silhouette indicates the city of Memphis, our home.
