BP.net goes to Atlanta

Yes, that's right, Ball-pythons.net will have a table at the Georgia Reptile Expo on October 25th and 26th. Judy (JLC) and myself will be running the table, so please be sure to stop by and introduce yourself to us if you can make it!

http://www.georgiaherpetologicalsociety.org/expo.html

Additionally, since Judy is driving up from FL, I'd also like to see what the interest level is in getting the locals together for dinner Saturday evening in the same area!

Ed (Freakie_frog) will also be in town that same weekend (on other business) and so hopefully he and his lovely wife Carrie can make the dinner as well!

As we get closer to the date, I'll try to coordinate dinner with those who are interested in going. I'm thinking 7'ish for dinner.

Karl and I are very likely going to be staying at the LaQuinta that Judy's staying in that weekend (save on gas, and we have a free night we can use) in Norcross, so after dinner, if folks want to still visit, we can always go back to the hotel and hang out in the lobby for a bit - maybe play games, etc.

Hope to see lots of you guys!

Yep, count Jamie, Caitlin and myself in for the festivities for sure, we were already going to be at the show, but the get together will be icing on the cake, see you there!!

Trey and Jami will be there!!!!

I'll be there!

Would this be the

La Quinta Inn Norcross
5945 Oakbrook Parkway
Norcross, GA 30093

one?

Just put it in my calender.. Can't wait!

I'm going to try and make it.. It would be nice to see the GA crew again... Plus this one isn't as far for me to drive and I have family in Marietta to stay with..

You need to stay at LaQuinta with us!

Talked to Shaun yesterday, and I think they're trying to stay at the hotel as well.

Trey, you commuting, or staying at the hotel?

Anyone else joining us? In about a week, I'll throw out some tentative dinner plans.

I thought we could all meet at the hotel at 7 for a common meeting place, or we can meet earlier, if that's too late, but remember that Judy and I have to stay until the show ends before we head back to the hotel.

Can't wait to see everyone who can make it!

Here are the nearby restaurants:

TGI Friday;s, mi.
Pappadeaux, .5 mi.
Mandarin Garden, 1 mi.
Outback Steakhouse, 4 mi.
Olive Garden, 5 mi.
Red Lobster, 5 mi.

El Norteno Mexican Restaurant
Gaucho's Grill
Dong Phuong Noodle Restaurant
Cracker Barrel
Sonny's Real Pit Bar-B-Q


Shoot, there's a list of 51 restaurants under 2 miles from there - I think we can find something! :P

We should definately be there Saturday night for sure, don't think we will be able to make it Friday night though, but we would definately be up for dinner on Saturday night, and will be reserving a room for Saturday night as well. I am working on getting Trey and Jami up there for Saturday night as well, so we'll see how that goes! Alan you better bring you butt down, its been a long time.

Count me, I'll be sporting my Reptile Radio shirt!

Geez, how could I forget that!!! We must have drinks with leaves in em!!! (And don't forget the souvenier cup!!) :8:

Sounds like we might have to break in the TGIFriday's Norcross BP.net style! ;)

Tick Tock, Tick Tock!!!!!

It's getting closer! Several of us are staying at LaQuinta in Norcross - let's plan to meet at the LaQuinta on Oakbrook Drive between 6:30 and 7:00 for dinner on Saturday.

Is there any tyipe of food that someone just doesn't like at all that we should eliminate from our choices?

Trey, there's a TGIF nearby that has drinks with leaves in it!!! :P

PM me if you're planning to join us for dinner and I'll send you my cell phone number!

Two more days!

Wooo Hooo! The time is here!

I'm leaving work at 10 today, Karl and I will try to go and early vote (and cancel each other out! LOL), then we're headed to the LaQuinta Norcross while we wait for Shaun (PrototypePythons) and his family, and Judy to arrive so we can go out for dinner this evening then come back to the hotel and hang out a bit.

If you plan to be at the show, please stop by the BP.net booth and introduce yourself to us!

We will be asking anyone who wants to go to dinner with us tomorrow evening, to meet us in the lobby of the LaQuinta at 5945 Oakbrook Parkway in Norcross.

It's a whopping 1.3 miles from the show! LOL

Let's plan to meet between 6:30 and 7:00. That way, it gives Judy and I a chance to get back and get cleaned up after the show, which ends at 5:00.

We'll decide where the group wants to go eat from there! Can't wait to see everyone!

We'll see you guys there!! I am printing out directions as we speak!

OK - the show ends at 4, not at 5 like I had thought.


Let's meet between 5:30 and 6:00 in the lobby of LaQuinta instead!

24 hours! Sorry guys but i'm going to be tired tomorrow, im going to watch saw v tonight so I might be a little off during thw show:P

Im planning on getting to the show at open and leaving at close and spending alot of time bothering the bp.net table so try to catch me there:p Whats everyone going to be wearing just in case we keep missing each other?
