Atlanta Dopefest 2016: The Peach Strikes Back

When I first moved to Cumming, I thought we were WAY out of town. Now, people commute downtown from Dahlonega.

Can’t make any promises (elderly parent issues), but it’s on my calendar!

Jeez. I commute from Decatur to Tucker, and think it’s a pain. I can’t imagine Dahlonega to Atlanta. But I do have a friend who commuted from Newnan to Midtown everyday. That’s a booger of a commute.

One of my co-workers does Newnan to Midtown. I can’t even imagine. My brother has been doing Marietta to John’s Creek for several months. Hopefully that will be ending over the summer.

I’m glad we have a date and place! Way to go, SMV!

Call me likely to be there - there’s one thing I’m not sure of that may affect whether I can, but I’ll know a week or so ahead of time.

A little bump for the thread, and to says Yes! I’ll be there. :smiley:

Getting close & I’m totally looking forward to this (I am planning on going if not obvious ;)).

Yup. Lookin’ forward to seeing all y’all next Satteeday.

Crossing the meatspace/sdmb (or other online) streams, man. Always kicks my anxiety a notch.

I’m free and currently plan to be there. Hopefully I won’t let the nerves get the best of me.

Unfortunately, I have to bow out. I just found out that family will be in town, and I suppose I have to go see them :rolleyes:

You guys have fun!

I was looking forward to my first-ever doper meeting (despite being a 1999er), but I got a call today that my father has been hospitalized in Florida; I’ll be heading down there tomorrow.

Best wishes to all; have a good time.

Okay, y’all, we’re less than twelve hours away from the 2016 Atlanta Dopefest (Motto: “Be The Dope You Want To See In The World”). So far, the guest list is:

ISiddiqui
Lsura
Slow Moving Vehicle

for the definites, and the maybes:

Doctor Jackson
yellowjacketcoder
Enright3
Lacunae Matata

and juuust possibly
Robert163

Just to recap, we’ll be meeting at Mo’s Pizza, which is on Briarcliff, just off I-85. Time, 7:00. If anyone wants my phone number, to co-ordinate or ask for directions, or whatever, just PM me and I’ll send it.

A dad in the hospital trumps beer and pizza with a bunch of strangers from the intertoobz. Sorry to miss you, but going to Florida is far more important. Hope your dad’s okay.

Oh man, I am sorry to hear that. That is definitely more important than some pizza with us. See you next time.

I just got here. Come on down you guys.

It was great meet the folks who could come! Thanks Slow Moving Vehicle for setting it up!

Well, that was fun. Pizza? Check. Beer? Check. Interesting conversation? Check. Thanks to Enright3 (who wins the Furthest Traveled Award, for coming down all the way from Alpharetta), Lsura, and ISiddiqui for saving me from sitting in the restaurant all alone, looking like an idiot. Enjoyed meeting all of you, and maybe we’ll do it again, to catch the folks who couldn’t make it!

That was a pretty fun time! I enjoyed meeting some of y’all and maybe we’ll expand the pool going farther (and even if we don’t, it’d still be worthwhile :D).

Sorry I didn’t make it, the wifey was in the hospital all weekend with weird blood pressure stuff. Glad y’all had fun!
