    Its all good actually. While getting turned around by my GPS I ran into a blue 04 wrx wagon, told him what I was looking for, and he and I actually went to the 5 seasons near northpoint to see if that was where I should be. We decided to hang out anyway there. Got a good story out of the experiance. Ill try again in 2 weeks.

    That's awesome man. Cool to hear. Always good to randomly run into a car guy.

    Not that it's a big deal, but why don't we start supporting local eateries instead of the well-off bigger places? Is it because the bigger places can handle the random influx of customers better?

    I don't think there is any particular rhyme or reason, but before Matt posts up a new list, he always asks for suggestions, on new places and areas. I believe we still keep things close to Atlanta or at least 285 for a sort of 'middle ground'.



    That said, count me in for Tuesday, I've got parts for Chip and Julian...

    I typically try to pick all local places. What non-local chain restaurant have we gone to?

    I meant "local" like smaller mom and pop type places. Places like Taco Mac could give 2 shits about the business we bring, but we would make the night of a waitress and the owners of a small place.
    There is nothing at all wrong with the meet locations now, and I realize they are carefully picked and can serve the group. It was just a thought.

    The trouble with these meets is knowing how many people will show up. One week we'll have 30 people... the next will have 5.

    Much like you said, we don't want to show up to a small restaurant with 15+ people and then have a bad experience because they can't handle everyone... not that t.mac does a great job at that, but at least they have good beer. :beer:

    hrm my fiance just got a job at the photography place next door to 5 seasons. She's been really wanting to try it. Might be a win win for me to come out to the meet tomorrow.

    Good beer, food and parking is really what we need. Like Matt said...some mom and pop places can't handle everyone bringing their own car.

    I really don't care if Taco Mac cares if we bring our business or not...they have great beer and plenty of accessible parking. I support a lot of small restaurants throughout the week but for these it is a lot easier to try to support local when we can (Grand Champion BBQ, Fellini's, etc.) and find easy accessible places as a priority.

    FWIW...we have overloaded Grand Champion before and they are typically big enough.

    I'll be there with the wife more than likely.

    It's a restaurant who brews their own beer. They only sell their beer, but have a full bar otherwise.

    All food they have is locally grown or raised and is mostly organic. It's all delicious.

    There is a very limited parking area in front of the bank building that Tin Lizzys' is in, and small parking lot to the east.

    Based on last year's event, which was later in the year, both of these lots seemed to be pretty full before 7, however there is a more open lot to the north of the bank building, that most people parked in.

    See you guys there.
