friday at 6 is fine for me. i liked champs in the mariott, but i'm not really picky. mostly i'm concerned about alcohol intake. must increase alcohol intake by 50% from last year.

in the Atlanta Recession Fest's Myspace comments if you're thinking of going!
See Ya next Saturday!

[Double D]

Yeah, Vic's is in the basement of the Hilton? I think. One of the host hotels. Neen and I will try to get off work a couple hours early, but it looks like Friday at 6 is the earliest we will be checking in. if you all don't want to push dinner, s'cool - we can meet you for drinks afterwards.

[HearseHaunter]

Also this weekend.....

[HearseHaunter]

whatever time is best for everyone is good with me. I suggested 6 to let everyone have time to get in costume afterwards for the parties. I have no problem with later or just snagging a table at the bar at the Hyatt. But that place stays packed all night.

[Chace]

like I said anytime before midnight is cool with me, so you guys just let me know!

[Guest]

Major Labor Day Weekend Lane Closures on Downtown Connector
Significant delays likely - travelers urged to use MARTA or I-285

The Georgia Department of Transportation has announced a major
Interstate reconstruction project where I-85 south meets I-75 south
on Labor Day weekend. This construction will cause heavy delays in
Midtown and Downtown Atlanta. Motorists traveling into the city for
events are strongly urged to use MARTA to avoid this construction
zone. Drivers traveling to areas outside Atlanta should use I-285.

When: Beginning at 9 p.m., Friday, August 29 and ending at 5 a.m.,
Tuesday, September 2

What: Crews will tear out and rebuild sections of I-85 and I-75/I-85
to improve safety, sight distance, and shift roadway alignment into
the final configuration for access onto the new 10th Street exit
ramp. The new alignment will also provide a staging area to remove
the east side of the 14th Street Bridge and rebuild the center bridge
supports.

I-85 southbound will be reduced to two lanes near its merge with I-
75, and
I-75 southbound will be reduced to one lane at this merge.
The Georgia DOT weighed the decision to work Labor Day weekend very
carefully. The complexity and amount of work to be completed would
require up to six weekends of major lane closures to accomplish what
could otherwise be finished over a three-day weekend. In the event of
inclement weather on Labor Day weekend, the lane reductions will take
place the following six weekends.

Motorists should allow additional travel time and expect significant
delays. To avoid these delays, use MARTA or bypass the Connector by
using I-285 if possible. Dial 511 from your cellular phone for
traffic updates.

In addition, there are two other large events going on downtown this weekend.

pics?

[Chace]

Well for my part, I actually went camera-less. So as pics slowly trickle in I'm beginning to snag 'em. I really only have these so far.

First, the least homosexual drink in the world is shared by Steve, Kevin, my friend Shane, and me.


and then this one from my Troma panel with Lloyd Kaufman.


That's all I got so far but I know Steve and his wife had a camera, and of course Ryan is usually a pic taking fool...

[dead ed]

Lloyd Kaufman, Chase and Toxie all on one stage. Damn wish I was there. Just watched Toxic Avenger on G4 the other night.

[Chace]

Found a couple from the parade!
