Oh come on, Atlanta's not that far from Michigan. It's practically on the way! t hides maps

Sorry, Aimee. You're the one putting your future livelihood and sanity ahead of F2Fing.

I was just thinking, literally seconds ago, that I need a manicure and going with Buffistas might be more fun than hitting the Nails place next to Raley's.

I am in favor of ordering some snacks ahead of time, just to save hassle. The hummus tray, spanokopita, and jalapeno cheese dip (+salsa) sound good to me, with wings and or chicken bites for the carnivores. I like to graze while I'm drinking, even after a lovely dinner. Which, by the way, I am up for - I've never been to a Tapas Bar and I like the idea of being next door making for a relatively quick getting back to the hotel and primping before prom transition.

Love the idea of webcasting, don't know how it works but I have the impression that the AV iChat thing is more like a conference call than a cast with invitations and suchlike. But that could be mistaken. Whatever is technically feasible, I am for it.

Aimee, what? I thought y'all were coming!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We were, but then I got a job interview in Michigan and our leave date got pushed back - we're leaving tomorrow instead of today and after 4 days in the car and then 2 days in a hotel, we're afraid the pets would eat us.

Tapas, YAY!

No Miracleborns, BOO!

Key Lime Pie is a neat spa right down the street. Not the cheapest, though.

Here's some other neighborhood places:

Not listed but likely of interest to some of us is Soul Vegetarian which might make a nice lunch or brunch place.

Sad that there will be no Miracleborns, but good luck with the interview.

I think I will go ahead and order some stuff (if only to cement our reservation for the room). How does this sound:

Veggie platter
Hummus tray
Jalapeno dip w/chips and salsa
Spanakopita tray
Maybe one other item, like chicken bites?

With tax and tip that would come out to about $300.

The party menu is here if anyone else wants to weigh in on amounts/choices. [link]

Manuel's has great wings, but it appears to be cheaper to order them from the menu, The spanakopita probably started life frozen, but I think it does in a lot of places.

I know very little of the spa, as my fingernails will attest. I can recommend a hair salon, a woman who does threading and a chiropractor. I have known several people who have worked at Natural Body [link] and I've seen some good reviews. We'd have to drive, but there are three that are within 15-20 minutes. I can check with the people at the salon to see if they recommend anything in walking distance.

How 'bout a Peeps plate?

My one true hair guy is (or was) at Van Michael's, down the street from Key Lime Pie. I should call and see if he's still around.
