Atlanta

[Montana]

Just wanted to let the ones going to the Atlanta show that some of us are staying at the Super 8 on the corner of Luckie and Cone streets. This is very close to Philips Arena. Also, there is a Ted's Montana Grill next door and the Hard Rock isn't too far. Let me know if any of yall want to get together. There will be about 8 of us. How bout it Stonewall, Hoss, Bulldawg?

[Rebel Son]

HTS and I are planning to go to Atlanta, but we kinda thought about driving back after the show, since it is not very far away. Haven't really decided yet, but we would love to get together and I love Ted's bison burgers. :D

im going and im staying with my sister in canton... ive herd of luckie st but i just cant place it i did not go down town much when i lived there

[hiteckredneck50]

i'll definetly be there (atlanta) we discussed earlier about meeting in the food court (beer court) that connects to the arena; before the show.

[stonewall]

Yep me and the MRs are going and taking our youngens, haven't got a room yet but we will soon. Hard to find one at a decent price with a pool. Kids gotta have a pool.

im going and im staying with my sister in canton... ive herd of luckie st but i just cant place it i did not go down town much when i lived there Thats where I live! I invited Doe to come stay with me so we will see if I make it to the show, he is Rowdy you know! It has to be a tame night for me, I have to work the next day.

[bocephus440]

everyone just stay away from tech wood ave and east lake meadows i would not go there @ night... im going to hit altoona that morning and go see bocephus that night. that makes a perfect day if u ask me :D

[beerhead]

maybe it is just me, but staying at a motel overnight at the corner of LUCKY and CONE sounds pretty f'd up even for ole beerhead. :roll:

East Lake Meadows are some high dollar places next to the PGA country club there. There are still some very rough areas around the Ga dome though!

[Hoss]

We're going to the concert, but more than likely going back home afterwards. I guess it depends on if one of us (me, bulldawg, little joe, doublebarrel), agrees to be the designated driver. :lol:

[Tarheel]

Id sure like to go.

[stonewall]

well come on, what's the hold up

[RowdyFrynd1]

Uncle Mark is coming over tomorrow to discuss our trip to Atlanta. I am still hoping that it will coincide with the Hank show, even if we can't make the actual concert.

Is there a general concensus of where everyone will be staying??

[stonewall]

Not that I know of.

[bocephus440]

hew sw are u going to bring some of that good north ga dew?

[stonewall]

If you want a sample I can bring some for sure.

[bocephus440]

[RowdyFrynd1]

Sorry, all. Looks like I'm not gonna make it to Atlanta after all. That said, I hope everyone has a great time and I can't wait for the reviews and pics!!

[Rebel Son]

That's too bad, man. I was looking forward to meeting you. Maybe there will be another time, though. :smile:

[StrongStuff]

I wish I lived a little farther down south then Maybe I could go to more concerts

[Rebel Son]

Wow, I just realized that this concert is only about 2 weeks away. :shock: I feel like I am going to 3 Hank shows-in-a-row. Man, I know Bocephus likes his hunting and fishing, but I sure kinda wish they could have spread out the tour dates a little further apart. :? This June 1 show will be the last one for me, unless he adds some more (which doesn't appear likely). :cry: The problem will come sometime around next winter, when I realize that it has been 5-6 months since I heard any decent music. :roll:

[stonewall]

I know what you mean, It's my last one too till God knows when.

[bocephus440]

yea its like 2 weeks from friday and dam i cant wait :razz:

[Rebel Son]

What are we doing, and where are we meeting for this concert? Doe and I had discussed the possibility of riding MARTA so that we wouldn't have to worry about traffic and parking downtown. What is everyone else doing? I don't have any earthly idea whether there are any restaurants or bars nearby the arena. Should we just drive, instead? Last time I rode MARTA, I encountered a man who looked very much like a chicken and he was singing some sort of Hindu prayer. :? Very loudly.

[stonewall]

The Lovely and Hank Fan Famous Hard Rock Cafe is close and like AT said CNN center might be a good place. We are staying the whole weekend with the kids but not sure where yet, all I know is that it has to have a swimming pool. I don't do MARTA unless it's an emergency

Last time I rode MARTA, I encountered a man who looked very much like a chicken and he was singing some sort of Hindu prayer. :? Very loudly. MARTA? You must be high man, especially sporting a HWJ T shirt?? ANyone remember the protest that was going on outside of the Fox a few years ago after the Hank concert?? Marta would be bad news man, hate to sound predjudice but its for the best. Someone find me a ticket and I will gladly drive 3 others downtown with me and pay for parking. I have to stay sober that night since I work the next day.

Last time I rode MARTA, I encountered a man who looked very much like a chicken and he was singing some sort of Hindu prayer. :? Very loudly. There are plenty of places to eat and meet around there. CNN center is my best suggestion since its very big, has plenty of food and beer places. It being a Friday night most food places in the area like Hard rock will be jam packed. If you do goro Hard Rock tell Brad that JJ sent you and he will hook you up on some drinks at the bar. I have known the guy for years.

[Rebel Son]

Man, I grew up in the ATL. I ain't skeered of MARTA, :lol: :lol: especially when you consider that the whole Phillips Arena will be full of people taking MARTA after the show.. I'm just wondering which might be more convenient.

[stonewall]

I done went and got one of them VIP cards for HRC like Hoss, so we shouldn't have a problem getting in there if yall want to and with AT's buddy there helping out with the drinks is should be cool. BTW the VIP card is a great deal. cost's 29 bucks, has a 20 dollar credit on it for 20 bucks off and you get another 20 for every 200 you spend. Also had two cool hat pins, which are 11 bucks each at HRC and a cool little bag that I would guess to cost 15 or so so if you add it up that's about 57 dollars for 29, not too bad.

[stonewall]

OH yeah, I ain't skeered of MARTA either, have ridden many times after Hank concerts, but I'd just rather not if I can get out of it.

[Hoss]

We always just park at or near Phillips Arena, mainly because MARTA is a pain the butt to me. Mass transit just annoys the crap outta me. :lol: Meeting at the CNN center is fine with us. The restaurants in the area will be very crowded for sure.

[bocephus440]

im sure its going to be very packed

I totally forgot about that VIP card. I guess if I've got one and so do you, we might be able to get seated in a reasonable amount of time. Hard Rock said that with the one card you can seat up to 20 people. I'll do whatever everybody wants to do.

Hoss, are yall gonna be there, Doublebarrell told me that he thought yall would be at Fan Fair all week and would not be there, I hope he was wrong.

[Doemasters]

Hoss is afraid i might show, she just shakes her head at me when she see's me. Last concert BullDawg and herself walked right past me and just looked the other way, i guess i am just to rowdy for Georgia folks :cry:

[hiteckredneck50]

I vote for the cnn center as a meeting place. it's right there at the arena with plenty of room. plus thats the only place i can find :D

Sounds great to me. I visited there one time, but now I have no idea where it is. But, I'm sure I can find it again. :lol:

[stonewall]

CNN is fine with me, as long as we have enough room to hang out and have a good time is all that matters

[bocephus440]

sounds like a winner to me to as long as there is beer we will be just fine :razz:

[LaBorn]

I may not make the show, But will there be any Atlanta left for the show? I been seeing alot about fires, and people getting sick in Atlanta from it.

[bocephus440]

it looks like a big mess i herd there is smoke as far as birmigham from south ga.

[Rebel Son]

That is true. hts works in Birmingham and said that the smoke is really bad there, but I am in Anniston (about 70 miles to the east) and the sky is clear. :? Go figure.

[Adam]

some of the smoke is from a fire in sumter county, Al over in west Alabama

[Atlanta_Tider]

The smoke was no existant today, yesterday it reached me and I am 50 miles north of Atlanta.

[Doemasters]

we had it early this morning in Hoover

[Rebel Son]

Una mas dia. ;hyp
