Atlanta, Georgia, 2009. The biggest Amiga meeting!
« on: August 17, 2008, 11:13:13 PM »
The airport in Atlanta is huge, with direct flights to all over the world.

Who would show up for a weekend if I booked a place? Would you bring your Amiga?

We could have competitions, movies all night, Amiga dealers, 'celebs'?, etc.

Think about it and be positive.

@riccofl

Where would you try and host a meeting? Some where near the airport?

Wow, I might be able to finally update the Amiga Atlanta website with some thing new and interesting? Cool. I'd try to be there. You might put a post over at Amigaworld.net also. Serveral folks from the North/South Carolina group frequent there and might be interested.

And a very nice gesture Amikit, thanks.

That was probably the last one the Amiga Atlanta group hosted. (Might have been 1997)

Come on down and maybe I can bring that Toaster/Flyer beast I just finished building. :-)

I can not go, but will buy a ticket if it helps.
I hope they produce a video.

You'd have my full support. If it was set up as a real show, I'd probably come as a vendor and offer a few door prizes. I could also bring a few systems, including the fabled Monster Commodore 128T.

Atlanta is about 10 hours drive for me, let me know the details if it is to happen.
Someone has to state the obvious and that someone is me!

This sounds like it could be interesting.  I have never been to a user group meeting or anything like that before, and this would be close enough for me to attend.  :-D

Sounds good to me.  I was just asking in the AmiWest thread about something close to Florida.  I'm only about 5 hours away.

Hehe, "only"...

I can drive from one end of our country to the other and back in that same time - twice!  :-)

(I think a 2-hour drive is a bit long already)

Let me guess, you don't have a car, only a rather old bike ?  :madashell:
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else
