---

Howdy Folks,

We have decided where to eat. We have decided a time.

What'll ya have?

On Saturday Night, everyone from GbFans is cordially invited to eat with the rest of us at The Varsity! The Varsity represents a restaurant unique to Atlanta, that also has good food.

The food is a bit fast food-ish, but I promise you the onion rings are great. The full menu can be found here.

Our plan is to arrive at The Varsity, by whatever means of travel you like at 7 P.M. and order our food. We need an accurate headcount to ensure we have enough space, so if you are sure you are going to commit - please reply stating CONFIRMED 1 GUEST, or however man yguests you will have.

Ron Daniels

I like all sorts of food.

No more than 25 per person.

I bring two people, myself included.

There is a karaoke bar a block away from the hilton. The have a restaurant in the upstairs part and the bar also serves food. when we went last year we walked in to see anakin skywalker singing amish paradise. id definitely suggest it. it had good food, theres a bar, and nothing was really overpriced. at least not for atlanta.


Goosebot / Todd

Everything tastes good unless it came from the water.

20-25 per person sounds good

7 or 8 in our party inluding me

There's a very nice Tiki themed place in the Hilton that can accomodate large groups.

They have a variety of foods and specialty drinks there. A little expensive probably right at $25) but worth it.

we went 2 years ago. also an excellent place and extremely easy to find!

There's not an actual Sizzler in downtown Atlanta, is there?

No sir.

Ha Ha! You should dress in yellow slickers and put pink slime on your faces. : )

Zack

I am cool with most places and could probably find something to eat at any sitdown variety place like that. Not a big seafood person myself.

Yeah around $20-ish a person sounds good. Around there somewhere. Let's not get crazy

2 people including myself.

My wife and I could very well be up for a night like that. Around $20/person would be cool.

- Do you want to join us?

Is this a trick question?

- What types of restaurants do you like? Also what type of food.

American Food (Burgers Fries) or Italian (Pizza or Pasta).

- What sort of price range do you have?

Up to $20 per person, but goal of $10-15.

- How many people are you vouching for?

1.


We may need to figure this out early and perhaps setup a situation where everyone pays ahead of time (for food). Kinda like a ticket system... everyone puts down $20 for a $15 / meal restaraunt.. and if you have lots of drinks you pay for that seperately. Every time I have ever planned one of these things someone ends up not paying... usually because they don't realize if they just get a Soda that it still costs $2.50.. or people underpay.. etc.

I don't want to see that happen.

We also should use it to figure out how many people are going.. becasue we will need to setup with a restaraunt ahead of time. So perhaps a deadline of the Thursday / Friday night before the dinner.

^ That was kinda the reason I was suggesting the Tiki place they can accomodate large groups via reservations...as opposed to 20 people popping up at the Hard Rock or whatever. On the other hand though they are a little more pricy...but in that area I can't think of any places that aren't in about the same range, aside from fast food, or the food court by the Hyatt.

Anyway here's the website for the place, it's called Trader Vic's

http://www.tradervicsatlanta.com/

chinese take-out and beer?

Would make for good photo-ops if anyone knows someone with a good werewolf costume.

I'm up for any kind of food in the $1-$30 range. I'll likely be bringing two people, myself included, possible three.

Whats wrong with you people!?

I say we find a nice Sushi joint and go to town on some tasty fish!

Seriously though, that TraderVic's looks great. Easy to find and easy to dine/be accomodated

I can drop $30-$40 on dinner by myself.

Second.

Jim Gaffigan

I don't eat sea food.

Borzou

I am cool with any place.

Around $25 is my price range

One person.

It looks like a nice place.. but that isn't going to fly.

Sure they will have a private area and will cater to a group over 25... but it is freakin $40-60 per person not including 22% tip and tax.


We would almost be better off having a Pizza Party some place or traveling out to the Suburbs for something cheaper.

Dan AKA

I will eat virtually anywhere.

I'm game for up to 25 dollars a plate.

Just myself.

Tim

I eat anything.

$25 a plate is good.

(1) seat.

Derek
Not picky on food types...
$25 seems like the magic amount....
at this time, 1 seat, but maybe more...


i'm not against a room party. like i said... take-out chinese and beer... we could call it 'the last of the petty cash party' and have that annoying thompson twins song on repeat...

we could always check on conference rooms at each of our hotels and see if anyone has one big enough for our needs.

EDIT: I just checked with the Baymont Suites and they said that they have a meeting room big enough for around 35 people. just throwing out some more info.

I had mentioned this in jest before, but one idea may be the Food Court that's right by the Hyatt.

Upsides:

It's walking distance (next block over from the Hyatt)

Reasonably priced

Everyone can get whatever type of food they like (Everything from Sushi to fast food)

Downsides:

Its usually pretty crowded both in seating and in lines

Everyone probably won't be able to sit together

Ryan
no pizza or fast food
$25 per person
2 people

Lawrence
All Foods
25 A Person

Too bad the con isn't on a Tuesday. We could get two-piece tuesdays at Popeyes. Then they'd be all out of chicken. Or there wouldn't be any more.

That's right, I'm bringing it back.

UPDATE.

The location has been chosen as The Varsity. Dinner at 7PM on Saturday Sept 5th.
