Anyone want to get together for lunch and/or dinner on Friday, May 9th? I'm going to the Atlanta Writers Cub conference, but would be happy to drive up early to meet any of you fine folks.

There's an event at 8pm, but from about lunchtime until then, I'll be on my own.

Well, you know I'll be there! I can meet up for dinner/afternoon tapas before the cocktail party...are you staying at the hotel? I can have a looksie around for a good restaurant that's not too far off.

Oh, and I'd offer my sofa, but I'm about 40 miles out AND I have four kids. I don't even want to stay here. :D

Lol! Yeah, I'm going to stay at the hotel. I have a GPS that hopefully can do Atlanta better than it can Asheville.

I love tapas! We'll have much fun.

Let me check the Missus' schedule then I'll get back to you. If she's not flying out that week, it should be a go. Uh...maybe I should ask you first if this would be acceptable for me to show up. I can be so...duh!

Wait a minute - I'm not talking about Atlanta, Indiana.

Your thing. Over there. Under your avatar. It says you're in Edinburgh, Indiana.

I know that Silly Rabbit. The water tower across town says so, anyway. Atlanta...Atlanta...sooner or later I'll remember where it's situated. It's in Nove Scotia, right?

Just reviving this to see if we have any more takers for lunch and/or dinner on the 9th or just lunch on the 10th. The very talented Siddow and I both know that the more the merrier.

Who's with us?

Well, do it! You won't be cool if you don't.

Besides, I'm getting all grumpy. Y'all dropped every daggone thing to haul NerdRUs all over God's green acre, but you won't take a meal with me n' Siddow?

I feel a flounce coming on.

Okay, still waiting to hear back from Perks, but since she's in a hotel in Highlands/Five Points area, and she and I have a shared adoration for tapas, how about meeting up at Noche?

Perks and I have another party to attend here from 8-11pm, so I'm thinking maybe 5pm at Noche? Friday nights tend to get really busy there, but not until around 9pm, so we should be good.

I think Perks is planning to get to town around noon, so anyone wants to do something earlier, name it! I have a child situation to get covered, so I probably can't go anywhere until the babysitters get home from school.

Okay, you people. I just wanted to call out to any Atlanta area member who may be interested in a get together for Friday or early Saturday afternoon.

I'm gonna have lunch with RumpleTumbler and dinner with Siddow (and maybe Ben Bradley). MadScientistMatt would be a welcomed addition, along with anyone else who wants to join in.

Hello?

I'll be coming up to ATL Saturday. Just give me a meeting point and I can be there. I might even buy a round. ;)

Jason, if Perks doesn't see this, I'll tell her to get in touch with you.

AND...I just found out that Noche doesn't open until 5:30. Matt, Ben, Perks, see ya then!

I'm running late, so it's just as well, and just found out my new office phone won't dial out, so I can't call Perks. Siddow, if you can tell Perks.. I'll probably be hanging around in Highland Hardware (or is it called Highland Woodworking...) by about 4-5PM, IIRC it's only a couple blocks north of the restaurant. See yall late this afternoon.

I might even go back tomorrow to see this guy who posts at 85mph...looking forward to my free Diet Coke.

I've been watching this with interest and some envy. Somebody take pictures, okay?

Maryn, glad you're all meeting

It's a lovely day in Atlanta, if only I could find any AWers. ;)

At least Neal was easy to find. Mumble, mumble. Grrrumble.

I'll try to get pics, but I think my camera might be out of batteries. I'm not sure they sell batteries in Georgia.

And now I have to go look for Ben Bradley in a hardware store. And I don't know what he looks like. If I get arrested, somebody bail me out.
