Calling all Atlanta area FOFCers
Hey guys,
Looks like I'll be in your neck of the woods the week of August 10th. My company is letting me back on the US side of the pond for an HP conference. I'll be staying at the Westin Peachtree Plaza. Any tips on things to see in the area? Anyone up for meeting an exiled Texan for a few drinks? I'm not sure yet, but I'm fairly certain that my co-worker who's a cheerleader for the Houston Texans is going to be going to the conference also, so this might be your chance to meet an NFL cheerleader! Looking forward to being back in the US for a couple of weeks. Don't get me wrong, Italy is great, but I love the good 'ole USA! |

Heh - I'll be moving to Atlanta that very same week (but I'll be occupied until August 15).
Can't do any of that drinking stuff either. But I'd still love some sort of Atlanta FOFC poker game.

I would highly recommend going to Stone Mountain and catching the laser show, all my friends that have come visit me in Atlanta were more impressed by that than anything else in the city.

I would have suggested that you check out the Coca-Cola Museum, but I think I heard Coke closed that down...
Oh well, it's better just to stick with simple things...like the Cheetah. |

Figures, two weeks after I move to Phoenix, half the board is moving to Atlanta and they'll be a poker game every night. 6 years of looking for a decent home game and they'll be 120 man freeze out tournaments every Tuesday at Ben's house. Eventually the board will close down because all members live within 15 miles of one another.
"The board? Oh that silly old thing, we just call, now." Thanks a lot. |

Hey Atlanta FOFCers,
It's a certainty now that I will be in Atlanta from August 10th to the 16th. Unfortunately my co-worker who's the Texans cheerleader won't be able to make it. We have a company meeting in Miami the next week, and she couldn't miss two weeks of practices. I found out that one of our activities will be to catch a Braves game at the 755 Club. Looks like a pretty sweet place to watch the game! Outside of that, I'm up to meeting some of y'all, if interested. SkyDog, have any shows planned? I didn't see any on your website. I'll have a car, so I'll check out the highly recommended Stone Mountain. And for food, is the restaurant at the top of my hotel (Peachtree Westin) any good, or is the main reason to go for the view from the rotating floor?

2. The Westin is quite good. Eat there at least once.

Dola: I'm going to Stone Mountain tommorow and buying one year passes for the entire family. I haven't been in about 5 years. It looks like it has really changed.

Hey SD et all,
The open mike plan sounds cool. Any recommendations for places to meet up? As for nights, it appears that Monday, Wednesday, or Thursday are going to be the best bets. And just for your, GrantDawg, I'll make sure I get lots of pictures from inside the 755 Club to post on my website.
