AWA AMV Creator Gathering

Lenox Square Mall is cool...if you're already in the area. The sad part is the coolest "to do" things in Atlanta include things like the Coca Cola building

I could just see an AMV pick up run to the Varsity. Two or three of us show up, order enough grease laden food for 30 people, and then we pray we don't get into an accident on the way back to the hotel. Why? You crash a car and make sparks with that much flameable grease in the back seat and see how long you live.

All this talk about the Varsity... IMO it's a tad far. I'm not much for that. Not to mention the four to five (or more) cars back to back down I-75 hoping to get there in tact. Ruby's not that bad - except for the price. I'm guessing that the Wendy's and McDonald's might run outta food like BK did at Otakon last year since they're the closest.

Lenox.... that's getting far too. Maybe a place down on Tara Blvd in Jonesboro/Morrow

We could take the highway or just conservetively drive down Riverdale Rd, through Vallyhill, and then hit Tara. HAHA. That would never work... lol. Too much damn traffic.

If I recall correctly, the OK Cafe is pretty good, and not too far from the airport. It's to be avoided Sundays, though, since people seem to flood there after church.

I think the Varsity thing was a joke. (It's nast.)

Yeah, it's a pretty good place. Exit 255 on I-75.

I think the Varsity was a joke too. Riverdale is close but busy. Hwy 314 (leads to Fayetteville) is a little bit longer drive but less busy. All we really need is one or two organized gatherings at or near the hotel and food pick up could be arrange before hand.

Yeah, let's drive an extra 15-20 miles through the worst traffic in the city to an area which has both the highest sales tax rate and the most over priced resturants and mall in the state
