atlanta

wow, this is my 3rd time mentioning it so it sounds like i'm plugging it, but really i'm not getting money lol. I'm going to Atlanta next tuesday (july 15th for a week) and all the same places are catering to us, hotels, Georgia Dome, Georgia World Congress Center, etc. My friend, Lisa (a fellow CD forum member) and I will be scouting this place out, doing the things that the locals may not have access 2. Any pointers/requests as to what to look into would be great. I know for the ELCA national gathering, which is hosting 20,000 high school kids, we get a bracelet which gets us free rides on MARTA (Atlanta's rapid transit system) which goes to Atlantas airport. Everyone was put into a hotel so all members going are in one of however many hotels they have total. I think both free transportation, (or covered through entry fees, or i guess teams could take care of itself, but maybe offered a discounted price would be great for outta the area teams. I think it would be a big step up for first to basically rent a group of hotels, and then divide it up between teams attending, that way u know, this, this this, and this hotel have first teams in it. The hotels, (not in charge of it) but all have "hotel life" events scheduled every night for the week. Different hotels are given different activities, so one hotel has like games, arcades, those giant blow up slides and velcro walls etc. Another hotel will have a dance. the website for the gathering is here http://www.elca.org/gathering/home.html I'm really impressed with what they are doing, and will have a blast. If Atlanta can take care of 20,000 high school students for a week (there are 2 sessions back to back, so it is actually 2 weeks for Atlanta, one week per person going) with those kind of benefits, i think they can do some great things for first as well. Thats my rant for the day. Thanks for listening.
Peace
-Eric
