The 2006 DragonCon is scheduled for September 1 - 4 in Atlanta, Georgia. I'm going to attend, and was wondering if residents in the area would be interested in whatever get together we might be able to plan for that weekend.

I've wondered when some Atlanta folks would want to hook up, but you're not even from Atlanta! Anyway, sign me up. I'm not that into DragonCon, but I'd be interested in seeing some other SL people from around here.

So sad... :( I'm right in that area, but I can't afford DragonCon this year... Doubly-sad now.

But hey...in celebration of the event, even for those who can't make it, let's all band together in-world and build the Big Chicken...

:eek:
Big chicken building? Sign me up! LOL that would be hilarious.
I lived in Marietta for years, the square is one of my favorite places.

Dunno if dragon con is really an option for neil and I, but attending a meetup somewhere outside the con would be very possible.

So, how many Georgia folks do we have out there? Enough interested to make the planning worth it? It would be an awful lot of fun... :)

Ooh! Count me in for the Big Chicken! Until this moment, I've always thought it could (should) never be duplicated, but I've had a sudden change of heart ...

As for DragonCon, I'm probably not attending, but I'd definitely be interested in an Atlanta meetup.

Atlanta groups

Well I probably have the most active Atlanta group in game. Even if you not a furrie, furry or fur; please join the Atlanta Furpile group.

Also, I run a very active DragonCon Yahoo group. Well the emporesshttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/DragonCon/. Well actually, empooress runs it for me. I WILL be at the con. I am ussually hanging out in the Con Suite on the former smoking side. My group tends to come off as click'ish but please feel free to introduce yourself. My pic is in my profile, I have AtlWolf on my badge and a radio headphone stuck in my ear.

I'll say no to Dragoncon (lack of time, money, babysitter) and a possible yes to a meet up somewhere depending on what time. I think I can remember my way to the Big Chicken. It's been years since I was up that way.

Awww! What a sweet thing to say! I lived in Savannah for 6 years but haven't lived there for 7 more. I really would try to make it to a meet-up.

I'm still interested... what are the best days for this? I'm thinking sometime around the Thursday, August 31st to Sunday, Sept. 3rd weekend. And somewhere like the central park area at Atlantic Station would be a good gathering place within the city and easily accessible via I75/I85 both north and south.

The Atlanta Falcons play the Jax Jaguars that Thursday night at the Dome... but I doubt many of you are football fans like me :)

Edit to add: Yes, Dragon*Con is the same weekend, Sept. 1st thru 4th.

Since I'm 2 hours away from Atlanta, I would like for it to be a weekend evening that DragonCon is open... so I can combine the 2, go to DragonCon during the day, and the meetup for supper/evening.

FYI, we are not losing the entire forums. We're losing a few subforums initially... and could lose others over time.

As for a place to meet in SL, you're welcome to meet at my replica Peachtree Plaza in Europa (slurl), I'm usually there late-late nights ATL time.
