Atlanta, it must be confessed, tends to have the lamest Dopefests of all, usually consisting of nothing more than mouthbreather and I (and sometimes gooti and sometimes spoke-) sucking on beers at the Highlander. Lsura’s usually too shy. Mullinator doesn’t like to come into town. TubaDiva, I’m half-convinced, is fictional.
There seem to be many new Georgia Dopers around lately, so maybe it’s time for another try. Who’s up for a summer Atlanta Dopefest?
I am.
I used to live on Charles Allen, right 'round the corner from The Highlander! I have to say, though, that I preferred Prince of Wales, Atkins Park (up in the Highlands), or my most favoritest of all, The Highland Tap!
Is it all still there? Can you still bring your own booze to The Flying Biscuit? Has the Bridgetown Grill turned completely into a tacky corporate schlubfest?
Am I completely hijacking your thread?
I’m down. Although I prefer to suck beer through straws on the corner of Ponce and Bonaventure. Clermont Lounge, anyone?

Oh dear God. Is Blondie still there?
Not only is she still there, but she’s Miss April in the Clermont Lounge 2002 calendar!
Well, of course the Atlanta crew will be attending BamaDope, so don’t schedule anything for then.
I’m not crazy about coming into town, but I’ll do it just for you, Fiver.
Bump.
Hey hey, since I’m in love with an Athens boy, I might be able to make it to Atlanta this summer. Depending on when and what we’d be doing.
Count me in. My SO lives in Alpharetta (woo!) so if I can arrange it, I can be there. Besides, I haven’t seen pbrtallboy in a while. 
It’s not that I don’t like to come into town, I just don’t like to do it when I don’t have to since work and school drag me there often enough. But, come up with a time and place and I’ll do my darnedest to be there.
I’ll be there the first week of July, if it happens to coincide.
Allright… tell me when and where. I’ll drive out to Atlanta some weekend. 
Oh Holy shite, Skerri.
I went to high school in Alpharetta! (Not something I usually disclose, mind you… )
Where is he?
My sister, BIL, and niece live in Roswell. I’m always up for going to see them for a weekend.
If we decide to make a go of this Atlanta dopefest, we should carpool!
<hijack> sidle, he lives off of Holcomb Bridge Road. (Like that says much!) But we should definitely carpool, because my car won’t make it there! </hijack>
Wow. So, who’s gonna plan this thing? Anyone?
I’d love to plan it, only I lack gumption and organizational skills.
But I really, really like the idea of making Clermont Lounge part of the festivities. It’s a strip club with the most unappealing strippers in Atlanta, including Blondie, who has the largest external genitals of any woman I’ve ever seen naked.
Fiver-
I am all about it. Driving 5 1/2 hours to see the largest external (as opposed to internal?) genitals of any woman doesn’t sound like an adventure I can pass up!
So, who’s gonna plan?
Any Atlantans up for it?
Skerri
Small world! I lived off Holcomb Bridge road from age 13 to 17. Parents still live there.
Plus, my SO just bought a new Blazer, and I think it’s got our road-trippin name all over it-I’m sure he won’t mind!
Hee hee hee!
Ok, so anybody got suggestions for a date? I don’t have a lot of vacation time, so if it’s on a weekend, I am definitely there. And I would offer to plan this, but I don’t even live in Atlanta. Maybe pbr can throw some more suggestions out when he gets to work. The only time in the near future that I can’t do anything is May 18. When is BamaDope?
Well, I’m in, depending on the timing.
I’m afraid I won’t be able to make it 
But have a drink at the Highland Tap for me, wouldja? And give Blondie a kiss.
