    Sounds good. Thanks for setting it up. I'll be there.

    Reading over this thread, with so many people coming from Atlanta, is there any type of caravan from ATL headed over?

    I just asked this question in the Given to Fly forum --- I just booked at Rodeway Inn becuase I saw that it was 0.5 m from this pre-party & 0.7 m from the Colonial Center & only $60 a night, so question for the locals, is anything wrong with it / is it in an ok (safe) area? Anyone else staying there?

    I'm not sure where that is? I'm sure it would be fine but do you have an address?

    I live in the Dunwoody/P'tree Corners area, but I'm flying back in from out of town that morning, so will probably be leaving direct from airport after flight is in, so probably around 12:30 or so, so looks like I'll miss you on this one, but hope to you meet you there - it'll be good to meet other Atl fans. Thanks.

    Pretty much everywhere in Columbia is safe. There are some shady areas but for the most part everything is cool and lots of southern hospitality. Anywhere north Main St. North of Elmwood Ave. up to I-20(Hwy 321/215) starts to get a little strange but not dangerous. As always, just use common sense.

    Looking for good southern homecookin'? Try Lizards Thicket (casual) on Elmwood or Mr. Friendly's(Yummy) in 5pts (Green Street)

    Yeah, I think this is true. I don't ever remember seeing that hotel but it looks really close and I'm sure you'll be fine.

    Can't wait!!!

    think i might make a list of everyone that's said they are coming and how many they are bringing - prob will add to the original post - in order to keep a good head count so that I can tell the saucer. if we get a few more people, we might be able to get the entire patio/deck area, i think.
