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:

Only a brand new Ford Focus :-)

I like driving, but I only drive for more than 2 hours on 1 day when I go on holiday.

And driving 16 hours (that's a 32 hour roundtrip!) to an Amiga meeting (which you will attend for, say, 8 hours) just seems like a monumental waste of time to me - it's a bit like driving from Amsterdam to Barcelona, go shopping, have dinner, and drive back again. :crazy:

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.

Want to carpool?

[amigakit]

We are also happy to exhibit if the show gets off the ground.

[meega]

Watch out for Russians! :lol:

I'm game.

[spihunter]

Should be doable.

Then stay over night and find other things to do as well.  In Atlanta, there's quite a few things to do after the Amiga show.  I, for one, would be game for thinning my blood at a local establishment.  Mind you, that's not ALL there is to do.  There's Underground Atlanta, which I haven't seen in almost 10 years, and so on.

I figure Amiga Atlanta would be a day I would remember, and a night I would not.  :-D

Yea, There's a ton of things to do in Atlanta while your there.

They have one of the worlds largest aquariums. I went there last time it it was cool. There's also the Atlanta Braves & Falcons if your into sports.

There's also a lot of clubs that have bands.

To much stuff to list here.

Thanks for all the positive responds. Stay tuned for updates.

Now to the hard part; Convincing the family on going to Atlanta next year. Heck, as a kid, we never needed a reason to go to a computer/demo party.

It will be fun, it will be reliving your youth with 'Kick Off', 'Lotus Turbo Challenge' and other games in multiplayer mode.

[Pyromania]

Maybe I will, the last one was great and even CNN was there. Big Banquet with Fred Fish, RJ Mical, Jason Compton, Dave Haynie.

How long has that Survivor graphic been on there?  

Oh, I posted that about the end of 2003 I guess. Been a while. :-) You'll notice it's a bit different from the one you normally see though.

I kept thinking about doing updates, but then there's little to update with that hasn't been posted on the "big" Amiga sites a dozen times already. Why would any one bother with a site that get 30 hits on a good month? :-P

I just read through this thread, but did not see when this Atlanta meeting might occur.  Depending on time of year, other commitments and my financial situation at that time, I would like to attend.

Any idea when it is being planned?

[Fester]

I'd love to go.
