Thanks for the comprensive guide to Atlanta! It will be very helpful!

My girlfriend had a question I couldn't answer...actually it never crossed my mind...do any of the events (banquet or socials) require "business casual" or "dress up" attire?

Okay, but I hope the current gas shortage clears up before we arrive. See this news blurb on CNN.com Atlanta gas crunch: 'We've got no gas here' - CNN.com

Doesn't sound like Nashville on the way there is any better...

Nashville pumps dry after panic about rumor of no gas - CNN.com

When do they start making electric Caymans?

What about the other "liquid" ?

News reports - both newspapers and television - in my area indicate that gasoline is in limited supply in the Atlanta area, with long waits and 10 gallon fill-up limits. Can any information be shared about this issue ?

Morons feeding on the frenzy created by our wonderful newspaper and local TV "news", filling up when they still have 3/4 of a tank because they are afraid that because there was some minor disruption in the fuel supplies in the southeast due to the 2 recent hurricanes they won't be able to get gas. Which of course creates a run on the gas stations creating the shortage they all feared.

After Katrina this panic lasted about a week, so hopefully supplies will start picking up and the gullible masses will find something else to to occupy thier minds.

We have a special blend because of polutants in the metro area that creates more of an issue in the supply chain as well. It will be interesting to see if ol Gov Sonny lifts the blend restriction due to the pressure he is getting over this.

My wife went by 3 stations before she found one with gas this morning so she could fill up....

I think we should turn our Friday afternoon rally into "The Quest to Find Gas Rally".

Who's going to dress up in Mad Max outfits??

I heard two people today say that they were filling up and they were waiting in line for over 2 hours and were sitting there with 3/4 tank.

WTF?


I have to say I may work from home tomorrow because all 3 (plus my wifes car) of my cars are now sitting on 1/8 tank with no gas in sight!

CNN today, just prior to the Bill O'Reily show reported the worst gas shortage in the SE USA to be Asheville, NC!!!!!

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRReat!

As of today the blend restrictions are waived until Oct. 12th.

I also want to caveat, that I have not dealt with any of them nor do I have any knowlege of thier ablities, but just trying to provide you with some options if the hotel is unable to provide a place to wash.

Go east on Hammond from the Hotel. At Ashford Dunwoody (about a mile) go straight at the light and you’ll enter the Ravina complex (Crown Plaza is on your immediate left). You’ll loop around the complex (a fun road when you know it…..) and get to Ravinia 3.
