Can these be reconciled? Dinner would have to start at 8:30 - 9.
Or should we split into two groups, Sports Fans vs. Non-Sports Fans?

This is only one event...
We are now at capacity for this event, however, if you are still interested in attending, please let me know and I can add you to the waitlist.

In addition to all the fine work Steven has done on this event, I've learned that getting the sponsors for dinners could be saving each of us upwards of a hundred bux. And have also learned that he has had some out of pocket expenses, minor but nonetheless.... Plus, depending on how many people actually sign up for the bus transport, there may be an undercollection.
Bottom line is I've sent a few extra dollars in with my check to help cover some of these expenses which benefit all of us. Steven is ok with this and has said that he would gladly accept any "donation" either in the payment or something could be given to Flyin'Mom (Mary Kay) at check-in. If anything extra is collected it will be donated to the nonprofit Delta Museum.
Sounds fair to me.....
Added: This is, of course, voluntary and is only between yourself and the organizer.

Which or both? I'm not a Sports Fan but am willing to starve until about 9 to accommodate the Sports Fans, and WifeMpls probably will tag along w/ the Sports Fans if she can do both.
We need some local expertise familiar w/ how long the games run to help pick a restaurant that everyone can reach at the designated time. I'm willing to do the grunt work in an FT baseball dinner-DO thread, but ATL is one of those airports I've only left 3 times (event @ downtown Hyatt, overnight bump, Greasy Spoon DO). I did learn at the Greasy Spoon DO that I know how get lost in Atlanta.
Since we'll be riding shuttles for 2.5 days and many/most of us won't have rental cars, some place accessible via MARTA or close to the hotel would be a good choice.

I'd be up for the Braves game (have yet to cross Turner Field off my list of MLB Stadiums, so I was planning on going to a game while down there) and then grabbing dinner afterwards.
I don't know too much about Atlanta (four trips for me - Greasy Spoon DO, covering a game at Georgia Tech and a pair of overnight bumps) but dinner afterwards works for me.

I will start a thread in CommunityBuzz! so we can track who's coming. Still need some local expertise to help pick the dinner venue.
Somewhat later: CommunityBuzz! thread is here:

Add me in to the group interested in the Braves game.
I know that one (or more of us) had mentioned maybe thinking of One Flew South in the E concourse (the one that sent out the DL email for a free item). With the Braves game that may not work as well.

Hmmm... not sure why you can see the original posts, I just checked and they are still there. Originally I was polling everyone to find out which of the 2 dates would work best for everyone, so to answer your questions, yes there is only one event starting on June 25, 2009. I am sorry if you can't make those dates.
We are now at capacity for this event, however, if you are still interested in attending, please let me know and I can add you to the waitlist.

Is there space for the road warrior training only?
Thanks
