I was planning to arrive around 4:00, but I may show up earlier in an attempt to secure choice roomage, and get connecting rooms for the hidey peeps.
As things draw closer I would suggest we have a list of arrival times and those of you who did not make the reservation might consider giving your full names to those of us that did, we may be able to put you name on the room if we arrive first, then you would be able to check in normally. Otherwise, I expect most of you will be coming in on the MARTA train from the airport (it's $1 I think, and puts you out right under the mall beside the hotel) we can arrange to meet at the surface, help with baggage, and check in and getting you to your rooms. If you anticipate bringing with you more that you can reasonably be expected to tote around, We might be able to arrange pick-up at the airport.
Once we get everyone in and settled, and passes obtained, I know a great pub....
I should look into one of those....cell thingies.

Sounds good. I may be one of the lucky ones in that I am already rooming with the wife and some friends who reserved a room quite awhile ago. They will be there before I am, so my check-in will be fast and painless. I should be available shortly after that to help "tote" if need be...but I will have to check to be sure I know what's going on with my peeps. It should only take me about two hours to drive there, which would put me in about 7:30-8:00 Atlanta time...then I have to figure out where to park, find my wife, and get all the goodies up to the room.
A central location would be a wonderful idea...and that pub sounds like an even better one.
Holding until you get back , Captain.

tristan, If you're coming in Friday night, most everyone will already be checked in. Most of us will come in Thursday night or early morning friday, as con activities begin Friday, usually around 1:00 I think. Well, 1:00 is when the 'dealer's room' opens. That's in the marriott down 1 escalator and on the left, It's where lots of booths are set up selling lots of goodies. The past two years there has been a 'Fan Table' for us right out side this entrance. There's no guarantee that we'll get the same sweet spot I guess, but I'm sure our fine S.E.B.C (South Eastern BrownCoats) will do their best to have another shiny table on that floor for us to meet. It is the best spot to run into other 'Coats. Last year they even had a 'message board' where we could leave contact info etc.
So, Fan table. Good thing.

Do not fear, Seryn, we won't let you wander the mean streets of Atlanta alone and hotel-less!

Seryn, I think Mai and I are also planning (at least at the moment) to get in on Thursday afternoon or early evening, so there's a chance one or both of us could meet you at the airport and then head over to the hotel together.

What lissa & I have to do is reach an agreement on a departure time from wherever in the Boston area she's gonna be at. Mapquest returns an estimated 18 hours driving time from MIT to the Atlanta Hyatt. I figure a reasonable departure time from Boston of 6:00 a.m.
would mean an arrival of around midnight. This appears to work well, as the partying should just be getting into gear about then. NOTIFY: Y | REPLY | REPLY WITH QUOTE | PERMALINK | TOP | HOME
