Who is going to the joe con??

[Deefuzz]

I was debating going, I love cons and have never been to a Joe con.

But I guess I am kind of a newb on the Joe side of things too so it may be too hardcore for me.

I definitely want to go as it's the 25th anni & all

[General Scarlett]

As I said earlier, I'd love to go, but I have to see how the finances are........but I know that I'm running out of time..........I know, I know.....typical woman!!! :p

lol

The only thing that kills me...is that it's in Atlanta. I love Georgia as a state, it's beautiful...Atlanta as a city? Not so much. Atlanta owes me part of my life back thanks to it's evil, evil traffic.

[General Scarlett]

That's all I keep hearing, is that Atlanta is a b***h for stuff like that..........but isn't that true of a lot of Southern states???

Atlanta is pretty bad for traffic. But if you stay at the hotel, you can avoid it pretty much. The tour day on Thursday relies on using the mass transit downtown, though. I'm wondering how that's gonna go over.

I want to go, but it would be about $500 in plane tickets alone.... Have fun you all!

Unfortunately, ATL's mass transit system eats poop. Granted I might be biased as I'm from NYC...but IMO, it sucks.

Also, Atlanta is the EASIEST place to get lost in! Every street is named "Peach Tree" something or the other.


True Story - for my 24th birthday, me and a few friends decided to fly down to ATL to party for the weekend. Pick up our rental car.....and ask for directions.


Attendant - Where are you staying?

Me - The Marriott on Peach Tree (?)

Attendant - Oh, ok, so what you want to do is hop on i-75 for 2 exits, get off on Peach Tree. Make a right off of the off ramp, which will put you on Peach Tree. Go (turns to another person...) 3? Yes, 3 lights and make a left on Peach Tree.

Me - W.T.F.

Attendant - You seem confused?

Me - Um. You just gave me 3 sets of turns, of which all leave me on Peach Tree.

Attendant - Oh. One is Peach Tree Road, one is Peach Tree Ave, and the other is Peach Tree Ct.

Me - WTF.

Attendant - Would you like turn by turn navigation in the car?

Me - Nah, but you could get a city planner with a bit of an imagination.


I wish it weren't true...but it is. Wah.
