I am looking for someone to meet up with at this show. A friend of mine from here in Alaska was gonna go with me...but she has backed out, and I really don't want to go by myself.
If any sort of groups are meeting up, please let me know...I have a ticket for the whole weekend cus I like the Foos too....but it would be such a drag to do these shows alone. I used to live in ATL so know my way around very well - that's not a problem.
Been having a lot of trouble logging on to this board since the site upgrade (this is the first time I've been able to log in in over a month), so please forgive if anyone responds and I don't respond back right away. I will do so as soon as the site allows me to log back in.
You can meet up with me. I'll be there from Thursday to Sunday and have tickets to both nights. You're more than welcome to come along. Where will you be staying?
Hello guys! Thanks for the invites! I really appreciate it. It would be such a drag to go to this by myself.
I actually used to live in Atlanta...so will be staying with my sister in the South Sandy Springs/North Buckhead area (she is not a PJ fan...or even much of a music fan at all, unfortunately). I'll probably have a rental car since I moved my vehicle up here to Anchorage and it won't be exactly 'convenient' to Atlanta....and after the weekend I'll be staying on in ATL to deal with issues related to my house, visit with some friends (also not PJ fans), etc.
I have tickets to both days.
Needless to say, I know my way around Atlanta very well...and can meet people wherever. Also, I can provide ideas for places to eat, drink, and meet up if people desire to do that, etc.
By the way, not sure if people saw it, but they announced some additional bands - I'm mainly interested in PJ and the Foos...but I also like Florence & the Machine, Garbage, Joan Jett and Neon Trees. I'll sit through anything though - I'm easy. Especially if it will help us get a better spot for PJ.
Is there going to be any type of pre-party for this festival?
There needs to be. I don't know the area at all, but the Google says there are a lot of bars nearby in Midtown, maybe someone knows of one cool enough that we can pick to be the 10C "official" hangout spot for the weekend pre and post shows...our PJ shirts will be a dead giveaway...

A few years ago, my fiance and i went to the Hard Rock Cafe before the U2/Muse show. it was full of people going to the show. our plan was to head down on friday and try and grab some lunch there, then drinks. as for Saturday, going to the Olympic Park, and seeing if we can find a place that way to grad some preshow beverages.

My flight is landing around 1ish, so plenty of time to drop everything off at the hotel and get into the festival to see Avetts and Foos. We are going because these 3 are the 3 we really want to see, so I'm praying our flight is not delayed, etc. I hate flying in on the same day... i always get nervous i might meet the festival..

Joan Jett will be fun to see.
For us, Saturday is the real lure...PJ, Garbage, Adam Ant, Ludacris (if you haven't seen a live hiphop show, it is worth checking out!)

Just listened to Lost Dogs and was thinking how cool it would be to get a performance of Gremmie Out Of Control with Brendan O'Brien. Here's to hoping.

Yeah Southern Tracks did shut its doors. But, he was around here for so long, here's to hoping he's in town come September.
Is there anything cool and big enough/nearby, say within close walking distance for those of us who may be slightly inebriated? Let's just dub THAT the pre-show hangout spot...

I found it. Flip Flops on Crescent Ave. is where my boys and I will be hanging for the after-show parties. Looks like a pretty sweet hangout (check it @ http://www.facebook.com/pages/Flip-Flop ... 2413222539), and open until 2:30AM both Friday and Saturday nights.
In another one of my posts, Crescent Ave. in general was suggested as a hot spot (and very close to the festival as well), so that will probably be where everyone flocks to.

I'll be travelling to Atlanta from Miami for this show. I can't believe it's been four years since I last saw PJ in concert and now I get a chance to relish in their goodness! Not too familiar with the Atlanta area, so I'm doing some homework now, but would mostly appreciate any tips/suggestions for laidback stuff in the area (I'll be staying in Virginia Highlands). I'm looking for info on dive bars, local music, local brews, trees, etc... Many thanks for any and all recommendations! (Feel free to send me a private message with any info.)

I would not recommend Flip Flops personally. I guess it's fun for some people, obviously. Too many people trying to be too cool for me. Crescent Ave has several bars on them. Not an area I normally go hang out at, as I'm not really in the "Party Bar" scene. I prefer to sit and drink good beers. So my knowledge of this area is limited. Front Page News has a nice patio and Ri Ra is a big Irish Bar.
If you want a good beer, Cypress Street Pint and Plate isn't too far away. Vortex and Taco Mac are a bit closer though.

The Family Dog has a good beer selection. It's at the far North end of the Highlands. If you like Karaoke, hit up the 10 spot. Smith's Old Bar has music going on about every night. The Porter Beer Bar in Little Five has a great beer selection. The Book House Pub on Ponce is pretty good too.

Sounds like we may have to venture around Crescent Ave a little bit! Thanks to all for the good info...will be looking for other Jammers to share pitchers and shots with! :twisted: :crazy:

These are all great recs. the chef/owner of the Family Dog also has a great restaurant across the street called Rosebud (yes, named for Jerry's guitar). Also The Brick Store in Decatur, right next to Eddie's Attic, has an awesome beer selection. Mary Mac's Cafe serves original Southern style cookin and is great for lunch (inexpensive). Finally, if it hasn't been mentioned, The Varsity is an ATL institution but be ready to order when it's your turn. (I rec a cheese steak (actually its a hamburger) with pimento cheese, a couple of chili dawgs in the garden (hot dogs, chili, covered in slaw), an FO (frosted orange, kind of like a slushy), fries, onion rings and a fried peach pie (which is for one). Have Tums, Rolaids and an acid reducer for desert and you'll be good to go for MM! Fun fact: The Greasy V serves more Coca Cola than any other single location restaurant in the world on a daily basis. One other: The Vortex. Original dive in ATL, best hamburger for as long as awards have been given.
