Being a nice guy I just sent out a [censored]-ton of PM's to pple in this thread.

If I missed you PM me

I will have some beer & liquor & ice on hand. Mostly ice

I'm in

so i still cant figure out the definitive info on this. is the for saturday at the vortex or what? im down to parlay at this joint later on if i know some people will be there...

wish I could be there to meet you losers, but have a good time and might I suggest heading out to the Highlands post-Vortex? If I recall, the vortex turns into a gay-bar at night.

Try not to trash the place...hope AEK cleans up for you guys...

i'm not so sure about going to a bar w/ like 10+ online poker players

maybe someone will be at vortex as cool as me and we can sarge together

i thought that was why we were going to the vortex?!?!1!?

seriously though, i love the highlands.

don't worry, i vote for having another such party when you get back in town. (when?)

parlay, i know that at least a few of us that will be there are true ballas. personally, i'd be worried about attempting to roll with me.

Parlay, Youre in atl this weekend??

Wow, I'm genuinely surprised AEKD didn't post this yet, as I thought this was kinda funny

I was in a home game with team domeski ppl in Athens yesterday, and driving over to Athens I was basically convinced we were all meeting the next day (Friday). So we all play until like 7am, i snooze until noon and meet with some other friends for lunch at the tgi fridays by the longhorn on peachtree at like 1. traffic was abysmal as one lane was closed all the way from st. phillips church to the cheyenne grill. i hate traffic. keep this in mind as you keep reading.

anyways, drive back to my place and by then its like 3:30ish, I chill for a while and after a while im thinking damn, i should prob try and head down to AEKD's place now huh? my knowledge of highways is lacking and I knew Peachtree was still jammed because a lane was closed, so I decide in my brilliance that 400 southbound couldnt be too packed on a Friday at 4pm. i mean, its going INTO the city, thats opposite right? whoops.

clayton pulls into 400 southbound from Lenox and faces a parking lot. ***. at this point, having driven from ATL to Athens and back and facing the hellhole that was the jam at the 85/316 connector, I decide I do not like driving in 90 degree heat stop n go traffic. so i park at lindbergh station and take marta to midtown, hoping that when im there i can call AEKD and be like "plz tell me u live somewhere near a MARTA station".

ring ring

"hey its clay"
"oh hey wassup"
"u live anywhere near a marta station?"
"clay, it's SATURDAY"

*clay is puzzled because it is clearly Friday and is wondering wtf AEKD is smoking*

"wait, well, okay, but... um. do you live anywhere near this section of Peachtree?"
"Clay, it's SATURDAY"
"huh?"
"we're meeting Saturday. tomorrow"

"......***"
lol's exchanged. i'm a huge idiot.

so i get back onto the marta train to go back up to lindbergh northbound, right? WRONG. 2 stops later and I realize I'm at Civic Center. ***. I COULD HAVE SWORN I TOOK NORTHBOUND. ATLANTA IS A JOKE.

So i get onto a real actual northbound train and the TRAIN IN FRONT IS BROKEN. it takes twice as long to get back to Lindbergh as it should have but when I finally get into my truck I am able to get back to my apt in like 5 minutes (spectacularly, 400 north is quite speedy on a Friday afternoon. thank god)

*** atlanta traffic. im drinking vodka tomorrow. holla.

YES YES YES. I wasn't offically pumped about tomorrow, until now...

Clay, I was going to save this story until you arrived so as to 1st off humiliate you. However now that you have PROCLAIMED that you are drinking tomorrow, well, damn, good times. See u guys there.


And yeah, holla!

jmp, yes

also i'm just gonna see ya'll at vortex cuz it's right up the street from me and AEKD's place ain't

Man, I should check the OOT more often. Got plans today, sigh. Maybe next time.

i never said anything about getting wasted. clayton doesnt get wasted but clayton will drink vodka

Sean,

Damn. You know i wanted to play that 5-5 game last night.

All,

I coulda made it if it was last night, tonight im going to athens w/ the gf.

That's weak. It's not like AEKD's place is that far away.

Anyway I should be able to come to AEKD's but not Vortex. See (some of) you there.

Not able to make it. Everyone have a good time. The doppler looks rough over the next 2 hours so be careful on the highways.

ATTENTION AGAIN, ATLANTA, GEORGIA:

Noted poster Soul Daddy is in town. Does anybody want to go grab a bite / hang out on incredibly short notice?

naturally im down. is there liquor consumption?

Possibly. I still got a nearly-full bottle of Maker's. And alcoholic beverages are sold at many locations around our fair city.

FURTHERMORE: In honor of our dear Matty, not present for the evening, I propose Fat Matt's Rib Shack, recommended heartily by fellow noted poster, El Diablo.

excellent...i have my liquor from the other night, but smuggling it out would be near impossible.

when are we proposing to do this?

Like - within the hour. ASSEMBLE YOUR CREW.

i assembled my crew of one !!!!!!!!!!

i need more details though man.

donde?

Who's bringing the pipes?

Oh. We can meet at my place, I guess. PMing.

Trip report?
