The corresponding "Welcome OpalCat to Atlanta" party!

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

If you’ve seen this thread, you’ve learned that Opal is moving to Atlanta. Of course, you know this means we’re going to have to welcome her to town!

After consultation, we’ve tentatively set the date for Saturday, January 8th. UncleBill and I might host it at our place if it will be a small gathering (I think we ran out of chairs at 12 last time), or someplace else if there will be a big turnout. I’m thinking midafternoon or evening, though I’m flexible on the time if anybody has a special need.

So, who’s in?

Me! And Dan, no doubt :slight_smile:

(um… duh.)

3

I can’t promise, but I’ll do my best. Depends on my transportation situation and if I have to work or not. I’d love to, though!

Welcome to the further south, Opal :slight_smile:

4

Pencil me in, will you?

5

I really hope you can make it to this one! And maybe Allan too!

Just promise me that all the Atlanta Dopers will say

Hi Opal!

7

:frowning: I’ll be out of town that weekend.

8

Well, foo!

Keep an eye on this thread, though, because if not enough people can make it that weekend, we might move it to a different one.

9

Ok, I will be in town that following weekend so if it gets changed to the weekend of the 15th, I’m in!

10

I might could come, if I am welcome. :slight_smile:

Depends on my work schedule and such. :slight_smile:

11

Sounds like a good excuse for a road trip. I don’t know about my schedule yet, and I don’t know the people here too well, but I’d like to join if possible.

12

Of course you’re welcome, torie. I hope you can make it. You too, scr4.

Is the 15th better for folks than the 8th? I’m free both weekends, and I’m pretty sure OpalCat is as well.

13

I’m not sure if I’ll be available yet, but that’s pretty cool!

Welcome to Atlanta, Opal!

From the posts above it looks like we have good representation from Lithonia.

I actually live in Roswell.

14

Bring some aliens with you if you come :smiley:

Yes I’m free both weekends as far as I know :slight_smile:

15

Actually some good representation from the SAME APARTMENT in Lithonia (que scary music)… the other post is coming from INSIDE THE HOUSE!!!

(We’re mawwied)

16

I’ve been thinking, and having it at a restaurant might be better/easier, so suggestions for places to meet are welcome.

17

A restaurant in Lithonia? Or in the world?

Where in Atlanta is Opalcat moving to?

I can do either weekend, but would prefer the 8th since it’s Elvis’s birthday.

18

In the greater Atlanta area, dork. Preferably someplace that’s convenient for people not from Atlanta (Opal will have a native guide, but if Zettie and other non-Atlantans come, they’ll need easy-to-follow directions).

19

Oh, and Opal will be settling in Marietta, at least at first.

20

The greater Atlanta area is the one inside the Perimeter!

Hmph. Hmph, I say!
