And for those of you who like counting, you may not even be aware that WesNSpace added a countdown timer that looks like this:



For the lastest update, simply look at the right side of page at the Official Event Web Site.

Speaking of counting down, here are the latest registrations updates. We have added the dinner "events" for Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings. If you are planning to attend those dinners, then please update your regsitration so we can get an accurate headcount. (hint: The evening events last year were fantastic - they are a must-attend event) Thanks everyone!

Speaking of dinner, what is the appropriate attire for dinner Thursday, Friday and Saturday night? Tie and tails for the gents and ballgowns for the ladies?

I think tie and tails/ballgowns is a bit formal for Waffle House

Simply dress nice and casual for comfort, but please do not wear such items as shorts, torn shirts or “flip-flops” when attending dinner.

Well we can't attend the daytime events due to the mandatory white glove and bootie requirements.

And now we can't even attend the dinners as I wear shorts 24/7/365 and my Hawaiian shirts are now a bit torn and tawdry due to the economy.

Anybody up for a few Waffle House dinners as an option? I'm sure we'd all be welcome there.

Well, both Waffle House and Chick-Fil-A were both "founded" in ATL. Therefore since we have very little to offer you at the Delta Air Lines event, I would suggest that you consider the following:

Thursday:
Friday:
Chick-Fil-A Day - the first Chick-Fil-A (Dwarf House) was actually in Hapeville, GA, which is a town that is a direct neighbor to the ATL airport.
I am sure someone can arrange for a coporate visit, and perhaps a one-on-one interview with the Chick-Fil-A cows.

I believe that all of the above Venues do NOT require white gloves or booties, and shorts and Hawaiian Shirts are more the acceptable (even if they are slightly torn).

Now Saturday and Sunday, you will be on your own, but we may be doing something of interest over on Virginia Avenue.

Sure I'll try anything once.... and sometimes ONLY once. My mantra is you have one life better try everything.

Count me in! I would rather go to a Waffle House museum than a Delta museum!

Do they sell TPT dolls -- or, even better, real TPT women?

Has anyone suggested T-shirts with:




Road Warrior Training




which we could wear going to and returning from the ATL DO?

The process for this began some time ago, but without the words Road Warrior Training.

Who told you about it?

I vote against your idea, if only to avoid the traumatic sight of Delta Air Lines personnel forcing you to remove that shirt off of your person every time before you board the aircraft of an international flight...
