Calling on all Atlanta AN'ers!!!!
« on: May 13, 2008, 08:55:26 am »
Well, I'm flying in to visit with family (northside of town).  Would love to meet some of the local AN'ers to Atlanta, if possible (will also try to reach our dearly missed Brucifer).

will be in town

Wed afternoon arrival, June 4

departing Atlanta
Saturday late afternoon, June 7

So, thoughts of a lunch Thurs or Fri or possible dinner Thursday night?  will be based in Roswell/Alpharetta.

Would love to meet some of the gang, if anyone is interested. Please post here if anyone will be around to meet. Would love to say hi.

Hey Phyl,

Sounds great!!  Count me in - pretty sure I'm available anytime while you're here.  Would be great to meet you and some other Atlanta AN'ers!  Any place is also good for me.  Like I mentioned awhile back, I'm right up here in Cumming, practically next door to the ANA office...did try to visit them one day, but they were out and I haven't had a moment to get back by there.

Hope something can be worked out,

Phyl,  I think you should swing by Nashville on your way! 

You are taking the Forum Moderator Private Jet, right?  Then you can stop anywhere you like!   :D

Don't fall off the chair again, you're going to hurt yourself one of these days.

Maybe Phyl can take the Forum Moderator Private Jet to New Jersey in July and party at the shore with me and you, Lori  ;D

Naturally, Jim and Steve are also invited!

(It's always wise to invite Steve - he just loves to buy the drinks)  ;)

take the private Mod leer jet to scoop you all up? Now, there's a thought! :)

Just a thought, you see.... wish it was reality!


Cindy, would be great to meet you! Not sure if you work during the day... we have Thursday lunch available... or Thursday night... pls lemme know your thoughts on what times/days work.

Lori, so... Nashville, eh? No southern bound trip to ATL anytime soon? *hint-hint*

Phyl, I wasn't planning on any trips to Atlanta, but I'll tell you what... you send that jet over here and I'll come!

My aunt lived in Alpharetta for years.  And I loved Atlanta the one time I was there.  What a nice city.

I do work some, but not on Thursday - that's TENNIS DAY - very big here in Atlanta as some of you may know.  But we'll be in between seasons that week, so I won't be playing.  Thursday night would also be fine.  I will work around your schedule since you're trying to visit relatives, etc.  Just let me know when and where.  Hope some others will be able to join us!  If there's anything I can do in advance for you, let me know.

Phyl -

I swear that this is the last time I "hijack" this thread and get off topic - unless Lori leads me astray again  ::)

I noticed that you mentioned Brucifer.  At some point, can you give us an update on him?  I miss reading his posts and often wonder how - and what - he's doing. 

Thanks,

Yes, Thursday lunch would be great!  Just let me know where.

Can't wait to meet you...and, hopefully, some other Atlanta folks.

Cindy,

Thursday lunch would be great! Not as familiar with places around Peachtree Ind or Jimmy Carter Blvd, etc at I-85 but thought that area would be a good meeting point, unless you want... I can drive further up I-85.

I know there are others in the area... "come out, come out wherever you are....." :)
