WHAT

The previous plan for the 2010 Meet was a hot mess. The dates were kinda bad and the schedule kept changing. Let us pretend it never happened. Here is the OFFICIAL 2010 Atlanta Meet Up!
First and foremost I want to point out Atlanta's mass transit system, MARTA. This is the best way to get around town for anyone who lives here or is coming from out of town. They have shuttles to and from the airport and buses that run where the train doesn't.

For your convenience here is a list of hotels near and around the main meet area.
Hotels

======================================

June 26th

Depending on when everyone gets into town the daytime events will be flexible. As the event comes closer we can see who wants to grab lunch or just hang out around the ATL. However, the evening events are as follows:

7:00 PM - ?
-Bar hopping around Little Five Points.
Map / MARTA info

Little Five is an interesting and unique place to hang out and drink. There are many bars and fun places to check out. There is a Hookah bar plus a lot of cool shops and places to eat. We can meet outside of Junkman's Daughter and grab some food/drinks from one of the many great places. Beware of the homeless people who roam around Little 5. They are harmless and won't hurt you, but they will beg you for every cigarette you have.

======================================

June 27th
Map / MARTA info

Starting at 1:00 PM

A Day at Centennial Olympic Park:

There is nothing better than spending a nice, sunny day in one of Atlanta's most beautiful parks. There is a lot to do in this area to include the World of Coke, the Georgia Aquarium, and the CNN center. There are also a lot of places to eat, drink and hangout.

The evening plans are still open. There are plenty of places to enjoy the nightlife in Atlanta, and we can decide on exact plans as the date comes closer.

======================================

June 28th

Everyone from out of town will probably be catching a plane home on this day. We will see how things look and plan accordingly.

======================================
All of this is subject to change. So please keep an eye on my BLOG in case of updates and the list of people attending.

Yes... sadly Ted Turner wont be able to make it.

Currently, I'm supposed to be in central Florida weeks before those dates, and I'm supposed to be back up here in NYC before the Jersey Meet-up which I hope to go to. That's very... Irritating. I'd at least like to go to one more meet-up this year. Sounds like a great plan, though. You have any idea for an initial meet-up location, though? You forgot to add that.

You are correct, I have made the change on my blog. At 1:00 PM on Saturday we will meet at the Fountain of Lights.

If people want to come later in the day I can get their cell numbers and let them know where we are.

too far away for me to tell if i can make it, we'll see!

I'd like to go but I have to see if I can get the time off from work. Put me down as a maybe. Thanks!

Also, earlier I said we would me at Centennial Olympic Park at the Fountain of Lights... That was a strange and unknown mistype. What I meant to say is we would meet at the Fountain of RINGS!

sorry about that.

A meet not during college? Still a long drive from Ohio and right before the Forth of July.

But a trip to the Coke Factory is so damn tempting. I Is Conflicted.

Money is the only barrier.

I want to go. I REALLY WANT TO GO. REALLY REALLY BADLY.

Put me as we'll see.

Mark me down as going on the 27th.

Aye, J'irai peut-être, mais c'est un peu loin

AW MAN! I completely forgot that Freaknik was this weekend. THAT'S when the meet up should have been scheduled... OH WELL... Maybe next year. Until then I guess we will just have to deal with June 26th.

Trust me, be glad you didn't choose to do that :F You all would have been lost in the massive wave of horrid traffic and drunk college dropouts fighting all over the place.

You could actually swing by this meet on your way to New Jersey.

Just a thought.

I am sure he enjoys traveling, and it is always great to meet new people from a community you invest a lot of time in.

I have some thoughts in my head, but I thought I would go ahead and ask if anyone had any suggestions or requests for what we do on Saturday night? Still got some time to think about it. =p

time keeps on slipping, slipping, slipping... closer to this meet up.

Yeah, a lame line, but I am bumping this because everyone should be aware that this meet up is almost a month away. OMG what shall you do?

I'm following you :P

Which hotel/s are people staying at? I'd need a cheap-ass option. lol!

Also... the musician dude I know is playing that Saturday night in a town called Suwanee... is that far?
'cuz IF I'm able to make this meet, I'd HAVE to catch his show :P

So close yet i will be waving from afar. ;P

I know I'm a maybe on this, but due to an unexpected problem, I might not be going. It's a shame, I know.

how about a meet-up in Savannah ;)

im in kentucky right now but ill be getting back to savannah around june 14th. i know classes for me start back up around the 28th or so? not sure... but once i get back to savannah and i have a look at my calender, ill let you know!

I'd go just for the sake of saying I "rode" MARTA :P

Yes, it's immature, I know :)

If I still lived in the US, Gainsville to be specific, I'd go. :(

I was actually thinking of hosting it in Savannah next year. Try something a little different. How many more years do you have there for school?
