Hi all,

Yep, it's that time again..PPUSA draws near, & so does the 5th annual TEoF/SymX Forum Lunch Gathering (holy cow, 5 years already?). After receiving assurances from the area supervisor of Houlihan's that the debacle of last year won't be repeated this year, we're going to give them another shot, as the location & price/menu are really optimal for our group (Front Page News was great about accomodating us last year, but their menu was a bit pricey for some folks). So here's the info:

Saturday, September 17
12 noon
Houlihan's (at Colony Square)
1197 Peachtree NE
Atlanta, GA

If you arrive late, just ask for the TEoF lunch, or just look around for the group of people with SymX shirts on (be sure to wear a SymX shirt, folks, for group photos!).

**Note** No, the band will NOT be attending this year (yes, people actually do ask me this every year.. :lol: ). Also, you're responsible for paying for your own meal (yep, they ask me this too.. :lol: ).

If you've never been there, or forget how to get there, there's a map here: http://jaxita.com/Midtown.png (it's an edited version of last year's map, which is why the now-closed Fairfield is listed on it *g*)..hope to see lots of you there! Please leave a comment here if you plan to attend so I can get an idea of how many people to expect..thanks :)
 
They assured me most vehemently that that sort of nonsense would not happen again..but just to be safe, I moved the time back to noon (rather than 11am), so we won't be there waiting for the doors to open. It should be just fine. :)
 
I'd be there, but I'm going to a relatives house saturday who's in the atlanta area. Damn... maybe next year!

I'm staying at hte Super 8 thurs-sat (leaving sunday mornng), so if anyones crashing there, Im sure we'll bump heads at some point.
 
LOL, Peachtree Street...thank God you included a map!

Unfortunately I'm too far away to make it, but I couldn't help noticing that little "Atlanta-ism"... ;)
 
Thanks to everyone who came to the lunch..we had the biggest turnout ever for an off year (a year when the band didn't play); it was awesome to see! I'll post the url to my pics once I get them uploaded..
 
I'll have to try to make it next year :). I was going to introduce myself to you on Friday night Jax, but it was pretty crowded by the InsideOut table.

Aww yeah, the table across from them was pushed way farther out than it should've been, making the walkway between the two far too slim & that back corner was just crammed; hopefully they'll fix that next year.

That said, yes..do please come to the lunch next year, it's always a good time! And maybe SymX will be playing & we can do our third 'PPUSA lunch with the band'..that's always extra fun. :)
