Hey!
Any other Atlantites want to meet up at a bar or such a couple of hours before the screener on the 5th of May?
I'm not too familiar with Chamblee, but I do remember there being a lot of places to grab a drink and some food near the theatre...
If it sounds like a good idea, we can ask the members on the OB as well; would love to get to know the folks I'm going to have a religious experience with.
As far as the actual establishment, I'll edit that into this message if someone who knows the area has a good idea.
Weeeee!!!!!!

How about a tailgate party instead? We all pull up to the parking lot with food and munchies. Heck we're all going to be there early anyhow to get good seats

Another question I would like to ask is what are the plans for Dragon Con in early Sept? Im sure Whedon and Co, since they are all guests, will be presenting some tupe of PR material.

REYVNDARKNIGHT,
I don't know - there is always talk on the OB's chat room, but I'm assuming it is going to be big and that we'll get more details in August. I know that there is a strong org of browncoats associated with DragonCon and I'm sure they'll have some crazy things planned.
Update: On the OB, we're leaning toward a place called '57th Fighter Group' which looks pretty awesome, but is a 10-15 minute drive away. That's a bit far, but it doesn't look like there are a lot of other things nearby this theatre. I'll edit the original message when a decision is made.
Let me please re-iterate: weeeee!!!!!!

Some of you Atlanta people know Joe Campbell. This preview is happening on his birthday and I am looking for two tickets as a present to him. (Yes, gorram it, I found out about it too late to get them myself.)
Anybody help?

I would be up for meeting up before the screening or at a bar. I don't, however, have tickets, so I may steeped in jealousy, but I'd still be up for hanging out.
Don't yet know what the Dragon Con plan is, but I know that I've got my four day pass and my reservation at the Marriott!
I'll keep an eye out for you guys at the theatre Thursday night. Um... bring extra tickets???

The Regal 24 is where the screening is being shown, right? There's not much in the way of watering holes in the immediate area, least that come to my mind. I'm willing to show up and hopefully bum a ticket ( please? ) or just to meet and greet fellow Browncoats. I live a couple of exits down from the theatre, so I can name a few places in the area. Best if we get a general idea of how many are gonna show up.
P.S. Just as an aside - Atlantites? As a native, I've not heard that one before. Atlantians, I beleive, is the accepted term. (j/k) hee hee

Everyone is welcome of course, ticket holders or not. For my part I hope a miracle happens and ya'll score as-many-tickets-as-your-hearts-desire, but regardless of that fancy, I believe we'll all have a rollicking good time up to the showing.
At the moment I'm jockeying between this and the OB to see what people are thinking of as far as a locale is concerned (it's a toss up between chancing-the-parking-lot and 57th Fighter Group right now I think). I'll make a definative edit as to the consensus on Monday afternoon, which will keep this thread bumping until that time at least.
Auraptor: since you know the area (yeah, I was pretty wrong about 'I think there are a lot of places nearby'... duh) - what do you think? Is the 57th Fighter Group a good option? Or the parking lot (I've had bad experiences tail-gating at a movie parking lot, but that was in a different state)? Maybe something else?
P.S. A part time hobby of mine is word assassintry, so 'Atlantites' was semi-intentional; I figured it was better than Atlantarinies, Atlantarians, or Atlantabantafofantas.

Despite its notoriety, I've never BEEN to the 57th!
I can easily find out more though. The Regal parking lot is pretty wide open, as the theatre stands alone on this huge plot of land. On a Thurs nite, if the weather is fine, it should be ok. For a parking lot. Other spots which come to mind are:
Locos Pub- Located on N. Druid Hills and Briarcliff. Neat Sports hang out w/ awesome wings.
Fuzzys Place- An ATL dive of significant acclaim. Awesome cajun menu w/ live music. (City's best martinis- I'm told) Located on N.Druid Hills, but on the western side of I-85.
Scores Another Sports bar on Clairmont, one exit closer to Regal than N.Druid right near I-85. I have no idea what this place is like, having never been.
Atlantabantafofantas hee hee!
