Hotel
Is anyone staying at a Hilton hotel nearby to the restaurant? I've never been to ATL and I'm curious to know about what's closest etc.
I'll be using points and they are with Hilton

Mrs Nub is excited she has been begging to attend a "DO" for a while. I hope this counts as an anniversary present for her. We are celebrating seven years on Sat.

There are going to be a few of us (at this moment three) who will be meeting for an early brunch at the Lenox Grill in the Mall. Right now our tentative starting time is 1030 and if there is anyone who would like to join us, please post and we will reserve a table large enough for everyone.
However if there is anyone who who would need us to start a bit earlier in order to be able to come over and still get to a flight or other appointment, we could probably arrange that.

Watch the weather and maybe SDC to an earlier flight?

early ATL arrivals
It looks like a small group of us are scheduled to arrive well in advance of the 4:30 SC meet-up in A17. I propose that whoever is interested join together for an informal unofficial pre-meetup also in the A17 SC. I know several of us are on flights from MSP and DTW just before 2, plus ifette almost an hour later. Our fearless and inspired organizer (and his +1?) also plans to arrive around 2 from RDU IIRC, but he may have other plans and commitments before the larger official meet-up at 4:30. My personal plan is to go from my plane to the club, have a drink and hang out a bit, maybe about an hour, and then begin to head off by MARTA to my hotel which is very near Prime.
I haven't been in the A17 (but I love the upstairs one in A which is closed on weekends) SC in years, so I don't know its layout or how crowded it's likely to be on a Saturday afternoon, but I guess the best thing is for the first arrival to stake out about a half dozen comfortable seats near the bar and ideally near a window with a view of airplanes. I don't know what I'll be wearing, but I'm a "Diamond in the Wild" in that I usually display my DL glow-in-the-dark luggage tag as well as this year's SPG gift tag on my carry on bag.
The weather looks like it could be a bad day for flying tomorrow. I hope everyone's already been upgraded.

For those coming to the SC, I'll let the attendant know that whoever asks about "the flyertalk group" just to point them in our direction.
Looks like one of our fellow DOers got an OP-UP from TXL!

Unfortunately, I will have to pass. Company requires that I travel on the cheapest flights home, which happen to be the 0540 departure from FLL tomorrow morning.

Gah, I can't even remember my last op-up. I think it was in 2002?
I'm in V on DL 1786, but 1499 leaves an hour earlier (6am) and is still F4 (V0). Might SDC depending on if the flight has already boarded by the time I get there and what the upgrade list looks like.
Anyhow, as it stands, will arrive at 2:49p so I will just head to A17 and see who's there. (BTW, if anyone needs someone to guest you in, let me know.)
