Since I got some hints to do this from Alan, I have decided to begin planning an Atlanta meeting for our Southeast members. I know we have some members in Birmingham, South Carolina, Tennessee and Florida and certainly everyone is welcome to meet the local crew in Atlanta.

I would like to get some information from the local members in Atlanta and the surrounding areas/states:

1. Do you think a Regional Meeting is a good idea?

2. What events would you ideally like to see?

I was thinking about reaching out to Edgar Pomeroy and see if he wants to give us a tour or provide some comments on bespoke clothing...Maybe we can time this around some sales or MTM events in Atlanta as well. We have some good events at Neimans in October.

3. Would October or November be a good time?

Let me know your thoughts...thanks!

Why exactly, Bill, do you feel the need to turn a proposed gathering of alleged gentlemen with the sartorial bug into some kind of gang war? Do you really think listening to some motley assortment of violent thugs is going to make me think that yes, race wars and crusades are all hunky-dory?

It just makes you seem small. And I don't just mean in stature and build.

Never noticed this thread before today. I would like to attend and I am sure Comolli would too.

Will there be cocktails?

This seems to have died out in March. If not, let me know when and where.

Indeed. I find it kind of hard to believe that it did die like that. I would think that with the number of members that are in Atlanta, not to mention surrounding areas, it would be fairly easy to organize something.

Revive the Atlanta Regional Thread!!

OK guys (and gals if there are any - all are welcome), I'm going to take it upon myself to plan this event. I have no idea how to do it but here goes...

Assumptions:
1. We should plan for after the first of the year so as to let everyone enjoy their holiday season.

2. We should have it somewhere in the city as it is a central place

3. We should have it at a place that serves adult beverages (any suggestions here would be greatly appreciated)

4. We should have it on a Thursday night so everyone still has their weekends for their families/other plans

5. We should try to get other non-Atlanta members to come, maybe they are travelling here, maybe they just want to come meet some fellow AAACers

Let me know your thoughts. I'm happy to coordinate.

I would definitely be interested, but I think a Saturday would be better, so that the out of town members, including myself, could attend.

I can usually make whatever everyone else wants work, datewise.

Yes, you're right. OK, Let's find a Saturday night that works.

HEY ATLANTA GUYS - Chime in on what works!

Any date really works for me. I don't have a car, so I prefer something MARTA-accessible.
