Awww damn it!
Realized that I won't be able to make the pre-party anyway. My flight does not arrive in Atlanta till like 8, and by the time I get to the hotel, it'll be past 9 (assuming no delays). By the time I get to the venue, the show'd be more than half over! I am not even going to try to reschedule the flight (I'd have better luck getting a bill to pass Congress!). Plus, it'd also require me to take time off work that Thursday, which I just cannot do at this time.
