Coffee:
I should add, Ginger, that having been on the cat-herding side of getting the hotel and date wrangled, I know how frustrating we Buffistas can be. I apologize in advance for making your life more difficult. I just also don't want you to deal with the situation that arose in New Orleans, when we only had about 25 people and were scrambling for funds.
I voted "probably" in the poll, but I really meant "maybe", because I just don't know at this point, but my not knowing isn't really contingent on the date.
Later in April and into mid May should be fine in Atlanta, IMO. I really think we should open up the date discussion again.
Weather dot com: Pleasant springtime conditions arrive early for Atlantans. Average afternoon temperatures rise from the mid-60s in early March to the low 80s by the time May comes to a close. Chilly mornings in the low 40s are common early in the season, and freezes have occurred as late as April. Average rainfall in March exceeds 5 inches, but April and May are normally drier.
I just got Melissa back on the phone. We could also have the weekends of:
April 20
April 27 (Inman Park Festival. Lots of fun, lots more traffic)
May 4
After that, you get into graduations and heat. Should I run a poll among all four dates?
I think that would be good. It sounds like the later dates have more potential for larger numbers of people.
April 27 (Inman Park Festival. Lots of fun, lots more traffic)
eh, I think that traffic shouldn't be a serious consideration. Traffic in Atlanta blows chunks wherever you go.
Go April 20th! Choose April 20th!

Perk Oh, April might, maybe, be doable for me.

I just found out that omnis_audis has never seen Shaun of the Dead. We're watching it at my house Monday night unless someone with a bigger TV invites us over. Anybody else manage to miss this gem?
Sorry didn't mean to kill the thread.
Re: The Once More With Feeling sing-along: The theatre doesn't have to aquire a film version. All they need is a digital projector. Of course, they have to be able to fit it in their projection booth but that's usually not too hard.
