WHERE: Mellow Mushroom (400 W. Peachtree St | Map)

WHEN: Saturday, September 1, 2012

MEET: Outside the front lobby of the Hyatt at 6 p.m. EDT. We are walking as a group to the dinner. If you can't meet up with the group, the dinner begins at 6:30 should you decide to join us.

It's time to once again put down the throwers and traps, and stuff your face with some of the best pizza Atlanta has to offer!

Saturday night, you are cordially invited to eat and relax at Mellow Mushroom! Please leave your packs and gear behind, but if you'd like to throw on your flight suit, please do!

We are asking that you meet as a group in front of the Hyatt promptly at (or a little before) 6 p.m. We are leaving at that time. We encourage you to walk as a group to the restaurant. If you get stuck somewhere and can't meet at 7, this link will provide you directions from the Hyatt.

Will there be awards like previous years? You bet! They are:
  • Best Representation of a Ghostbuster - The title says it all! Who's going to win it this year? Put your best foot forward!
  • Most Original Prop or Costume - Who's bringing the best prop or costume to D*C? We need to see it before the dinner on Saturday night. **NOTE** Do NOT bring your gear to the dinner! We need to see it before we leave for the dinner.
  • Iron Man - Get rewarded for breaking your back with the heaviest gear, or having the most endurance in the wild Southeast heat!
  • The Traveler - This goes to the person who traveled the longest distance to PKE Surge.
  • NJYD! - This is probably the award you do NOT want to win. It goes to the person with the most amount of damage and breakage during the first couple of days at the con. Destruction normally happens during the parade, so let's see those wounds!
**Also, we might have a couple of options this time. Do we want to:
  • Have a buffet? This means we pool our money together, give it to them in advance and the only individual tickets we have are for beverages. OR...
  • ... Do like we've done the last two years and just have individual orders?
Please chime in ONLY if you are coming to the dinner. Oh, yeah...

**We need a head count on who's coming.** New manager is asking us to do so.

There will be plenty of pizza, salads, beer, calzones, hoagies ... you name it! We'll have the big room upstairs all to ourselves again, so come and enjoy!

Couple of Rookie questions:

1. Are "younglings" welcome still?
2. Can costume showing happen at the parade or will it need to be closer to the dinner? We will not have a room, traveling back and fourth, so may have trouble finding a place for sons proton pack to stay.
3. Just pen to Ghostheads or can a Ghostheads wife/mom tag along too? Reason I ask is that his mom is picking him up that night after this.

If Yes to all, sign us up for 3. 2 adults, 1 juvi-ghosthead

Of course, all are welcome! We'd love to have you all!

If you have no place to store your pack, we might have a corner you can stick it during the dinner. The general rule (per the establishment in the past) is no packs, but I'm sure an exception can be made if you can't to leave it in the car.

I'll be there! There might be 2 or 3 more, but I'm waiting for confirmation.

We're waiting on final confirmation, but we may have a pre-order method that could work. If you were there last year, the waitresses had an absolute nightmare getting individual orders/payments taken care of. It took forever, and they made plenty of mistakes. It also seems like we might have a bigger crowd this year with everyone chiming in.

We'll give some final details/options soon.
