Hey, if it's not too late, I'd like to get in on the mani/pedi fun.

I will have a car, although I'd prefer to walk to the salon.

I'm probably in for Rocky Horror and *will* be dressing for the occasion.

Would also be interested in the chocolate place.

Can't remember if it's been mentioned... but Little Five Points has several nifty vintage/2ndhand clothing shops ranging from high end to claustrophobic.

I really wish I was coming in time for whiskey,

especially since you started it

My plan for Thursday and Friday is:
Exchange car w/ friends for 7 passenger van.
Pick up anyone who needs transportation. Please contact me if you need a ride.
Sparky, Brenda, -t, I'll be glad to meet you at MARTA or the airport. Let me know.

ooh, Larry, you rock! Even though I already have a ride.

Hey, tommy, you are most likely on the same plane that changed flight numbers. As I recall, there must be at least 45 minutes for a layover unless the passenger specifically agrees to less.

especially since you started it

I know!

Vortex, put me in for tapas. Ellen and Bev are on the road, but I'll see if they want to join us when they get here.

Yeah, I haven't gotten around to the whole Little Five Points (there's a Five Points downtown) thing. Little Five Points is where the '60s never died. It starts about three-quarters of a mile from the hotel. There are vintage/kitsch places like Psycho Sisters and Stefans; crystals; Abbadabba's, which sells Birkenstocks and, iirc, Doc Martins; Wax 'n' Fax, a used and new CD and album store; a natural foods co-op; several tatoo and piercing places; two theatre companies; a great music venue; and some good restaurants and bars, including the Vortex, home of great hamburgers and attitude.

Is that a 3/4 of a mile that can be walked to? I know that's an issue around Atlanta, and though I have a car, other than specific errands I'd rather be walking around if I can.

Me for tapas!

I'd do whiskey if I was there in time, but alas, I am not.

Yes, it is. The hotel is between Little Five Points/Inman Park and Virginia Highlands, and both are good walking areas with sidewalks.

Inman Park has old sidewalks that are kind of difficult in the dark or when drinking, but there are good sidewalks to Virginia-Highlands and Little Five Points. (How would I know that?) My only suggestion would be to not turn left on Ponce and walk very far towards downtown after dark, unless you're actually looking for a hooker.

Groovy!
