Just a reminder about the Atlanta Doper get-together at Cafe Intermezzo Tuesday, 12/28, at 7:00PM. See [this thread](http://www.straightdope.com/ubb/Forum4/HTML/002424.html) for directions. Please RSVP here or at my email address. I’ll be gone after this Wednesday, 12/22, but I’ll try to check my email at least once while I’m at my parents’ to make sure no drastic changes have taken place. Also, I’ll be emailing some of you personally. ---

Guys, do the rest of the world a favor; if you see Ted Turner around, hit him with something blunt. Or do I just speak for myself? * * * JMcC, San Francisco, [JJM’s page from the Bay](http://members.tripod.com/~weirdstuff/index.html) If I were beaned with a fastball, fling my limp, lifeless body to first, cause, dammit, I earned it! ---

I’ll be sure to include that in the agenda and do ya one better. We’ll take care of Jane Fonda too! 😃 ---

## Are reservations made, and a set number expected? Do you take late applicants? In short, can I come too? (I consider my house to be a suburb of Atlanta.) Insert Random Witticism Here. ---

Of course you may attend, missdavis. I’ll call a few days beforehand to get a table. > [@](#): > > I consider my house to be a suburb of Atlanta. That’s a damn big house! Maybe we should have the get-together at your place. ---

Woohoo! It’s a’really gonna happen! Thanks, Strainger, for pulling this together. ---

So how about relatively quiet posters? Are we welcome to come too? I’m pretty sure (at this point) that I will be in town… ---

I did not organize this, but being an Atlantan, anyone who reads this and will be in Atlanta on the specified day and wants to come is welcome. Just to let everyone know now, if I am able to come, I am bringing my wife. Jeffery ---

As organizer, I’ll go ahead and second what Jeffery said. All lurkers, soft-spoken posters, etc. who can are welcome to show. Jeffery, I really hope you _can_ make it. I look forward to meeting you and your wife. The same goes for the rest of y’all. ---

Strainger and others, are we going to eat there or just do drinks? I need to know so I can decide what I am going to do about eating. Jeffery ---

Hey, Jeffery, Cafe Intermezzo has a pretty good menu. Go here to see it: [http://menus.atlanta.com/menus/cafe\_int\_di.html](http://menus.atlanta.com/menus/cafe_int_di.html) Hope that helps! ---

But are we (as a group) eating there? If not my wife wants to eat at Dante’s Down the Hatch. If we are eating there then no problem, the menu does look good. Jeffery ---

Jeffery, I’ll probably eat at Cafe Intermezzo, regardless of whether anyone else is or not (“Hey! Keep your grubby hands outta my food!”). However, if you and your wife would prefer to hit Dante’s beforehand, then you should do that. ---

I want to eat where ever my wife does. If we are eating as a group, then she is fine with that, I think. If not then it is Dante’s. I guess I should ask her. Jeffery ---

I’m gonna eat there, too, unless anyone has a better idea.

OK, folks, this is happening tomorrow and I know there are more than 1/2 dozen Atlanta area dopers put there. Get off your respective can and be at Cafe Intermezzo on time and ready for action, or we will be forced to tell nasty lies about you after the fact! ---
