...but it is on a Saturday night, so I do not want to hear any excuses.
For example, “Oh, dear — I have a flight out of Atlanta at 3:00 on Sunday morning. Whatever will I do?!?” is not acceptable.
“My husband is due to give birth at any time and I need to be there for him” is also not acceptable.
“I am not attending unless I can bring home one of those gates from the headquarters of Delta Air Lines” is also not acceptable.
On the other hand, I suppose that “Canarsie is attending?!? Forget it! I ain’t comin’ anywhere near Atlanta!” could be considered acceptable...

If I do attend I probably won't get in until 9pm. Our last flight on that Sat. leaves at 3pm and I don't get off until 3:30. So I will have to fly US Scareways via CLT to get to ATL.....all prayers will be needed.

Houlihan’s Restaurant worked really well the last time a group of FlyerTalk members met at the airport.
The food is good but not expensive, there is a second floor to the restaurant, and it is conveniently located airside at the main Atrium near Spiff’s favorite location: the security checkpoint.
zsmith2, aucarol and I were there on February 25, 2007.
Perhaps this is where we should meet again?

I no longer spend money at airports while the current "security" rules are in effect.
Someplace near ATL, perhaps?

I almost never spend money at airports, even before the current “security” rules were implemented.
Notice that I did not use the word “effect”. I tend to like to use the word “effect” when something is actually effective, but I digress.
I will need to research as to what options are convenient to the airport...

Possibly maybe
I am on a mileage run from SFO on DL that night (ex. SFO @11:30p) so I won't get to ATL until 5/27. Booked on an "A" fare and am confused if I can change it without penalty. Earlier flights are available in F & D, can I change onto one of them? I owe Spiff a drink for standing him up in HNL

Perhaps one of the DL employees (knfenimore, Blind Squirrel, ???) could make a recommendation? They probably spend a bit of time in the VA Ave./Loop Road area.

I know some on VA Ave as that was my home for almost 2 months. Spodivits and Malones are the two that stick out the most. There are some other restaurants down the road a bit but couldn't tell you what they are (as they weren't in walking distance to me).
