The Devil's Going Down To Georgia...

I’m thinking we should probably stick with Park Tavern as our destination, since it’s a place Satan can already find.

How will we all know each other? I have five photos up at my fathom.org profile, but none of them look like me. I shave my head these days. I’m 5’7" and 145 lbs. IRL I answer to “Glenn” as well as “Five.”

So, I guess that’s how you’ll know me…

Well Satan’s picture is on the People pages so unless he has cut his hair or something I have a fairly good idea what he looks like.

I have seen Five before at an earlier Atlanta gathering so I have a fairly good idea what Five(Glenn) looks like.

Brian said he would reserve the table under Cecil’s name. I think that is a good idea.

I will likely be wearing shorts unless this place is more formal or something (don’t think so). I do not think I have any Star Trek pins or shirts (I know what kind of Trekkie am I?) and I ain’t wearing no pink carnation.

Okay, we have four people and a newbie who I know nothing about but hope to! That’s a party of five. Anyone else?

I just made the reservation to the above restaurant (since nobody came up with an alternative) for six people.

It’s for Saturday (tomorrow) at 8PM.

It’s on the patio, which means people can smoke if they want to. I don’t care if you smoke - especially since we’re outside, FYI.

I look forward to meeting whomever can make it out!

Well, Satan me bucko, if you’re driving down the coast, Stop off in Myrtle Beach and I’d be more than happy to buy you a beer and kick your ass at Putt-Putt…

Drain Bead has roots in Myrtle Beach, and even without her, I go to the HOB to see shows there from time to time.

I’ll make it there, and your putt-putting ass is MINE!!! :smiley:

Just not this time… I’m going West, young (wo)man…

BRING IT ON!!! But you’ll have to hurry. I’m moving to Tallahassee in a month.

Of course, I’m up in your neck of the woods on a fairly regular basis, and I know of a course in Durham…

Late yesterday I got box seat tickets to the Braves game at 1:00 today.

But I should still be able to make it tonight.

See you guys there.

Jeffery

Since the Braves will be out of the game by about 1:30 I don’t see how you’ll have any problem.

Anyone who’s going tonight still reading this?

Satan and his non-Doper friend Bill were there. Mjollnir surprised us and drove down from Columbia, SC. I (Five was there, of course. And StrTrkr777? Well, despite posting

and

…he was a no-show, and didn’t even bother to come back to this thread to explain his absence! Phooey on you, Jeff!

Mullinator and newbie lil_slim_jd also took a pass, so I was the only Atlanta Doper in attendance. But we had a fine time, despite the unseasonably cold weather. A wedding reception had commandeered the interior of the restaurant, so we had to sit on the patio. But at least we were near a pit fire, so that helped.

We all ate heartily (especially me, as I had run 17 miles earlier in the day), dished on Dopers and rehashed various threads. Mercifully, we did not discuss the Braves (fuck you, Bill!). I formed a crush on our waitress Jennifer, mainly because she brought me Key lime pie.

After three hours or so we called it a night. I’m glad Mjollnir hadn’t been drinking, because he was driving back to Columbia that same night. Yeesh!

I gave Satan and Bill a ride back to their hotel. A good time was had by all, but frankly I was embarrassed by the poor showing by our homeboys. What’s up with that, people? Where’s your Southern hospitality?

Granted, my not going did hurt the Atlanta doper showing, but at least I knew I was unable to make it. Mjollnir is the man just for his willingness to drive great distances for these get togethers.

So, did ya talk about me. Huh? Huh?

Well, what can I say? Columbia isn’t exactly “teeming” with the “Teeming Millions.”

Mullinator:

Hmm. No, I don’t believe your name came up.

I though everyone was going to meet on Sunday night, and I didnt find this thread until about 90 minutes before y’all were going to meet.

Oh well.

I really enjoyed meeting Five and Mjollnir.

Jeff, I hope you’re okay, man. Distraight over the Bravos inevitable October swoon?

I hope the next time I make it to Atlanta that more folks can make it out… :frowning:
