Tech students?

[_eva_]

I was wondering if there are other Tech students around here that will be going to the Hellish Rock gig and PP and if they can tell me what the best way is to reach center stage. Is it far to walk up to there? Is it a bad idea to walk back home afterwards?

I will be walking there, but a friend of mine has a house about 15 minutes from the venue so it's not much of a walk. Back when I lived on campus, I made the walk a few times. It's about 30 minutes, not too bad at all. I never really felt unsafe walking back, but parts of it are sort of sketchy.

Unfortunately, with the 14th street bridge reconstruction going on this year, it will make walking to and from Georgia Tech and the Courtyard Marriott to Center Stage a challenge. See the related thread in the PP Lounge.

I wouldn't suggest walking from GT. For getting there MARTA will be easy enough (though still a bit of a hike if you live on West Campus) but I'm pretty certain the show will run past when MARTA closes so be prepared to hail a cab to get back (or make friends with someone who has a car...).

haha, I'd completely forgotten about that. A tranny prostitute, too.

Go GT! I will probably be hassling people for rides, to be honest, but we'll see. As long as you walk in a group (say, with us!) then you should be fine What year are you?

Maybe this will make you feel safer (or at least like laughing--the APD must've been reading this board!), given the tranny prostitute story shared:

It's illegal to "solicit for a ride" in Atlanta? Who knew?



Okay, all you people who will be asking for rides back to your hotels after ProgPower, you'd better be careful!
