Our team if offcially "breaking up into small groups" on wednesday(we fly in tues) but things i have heard are good are the Coke Headquaters, i went to the CNN center, and it was pretty neat, but short. Some of the malls are nice, although i don't remember what ones we went to (3 in one day.....)
Wish i could come with you guys to Six Flags, but i think my team leaves in the afternoon-time

We might go to a Braves game. And the Coke HQ and just look around.

Does anyone know when and how long these places are open? My team is bothering me for times... If anyone has any answers they can log onto Team 74's Forum. People keep on asking me for times and all I can answer with is either "I'm too busy to find out" or "I don't know" or a combination of the two.

FYI: the link will take you directly to the thread.

does anyone wanna put together an unnofficial XBOX/HALO2 comp at atlanta? ill be bringing my XBOX with HALO2 so yeah. how many people can you have at one time on halo2?/?

I spoke with an employee at Stone Mountain last week. The park is open until midnight, howver they are not set up for their official season as of the Championships, so attractions may or may not be open. I inquired about hosting a teambuilding event during the evening, followed by their laserlight show. The show is not running then. The teambuilding would have been too expensive for our team, unfortunately. I sent them material about FIRST so they could try and arrange to have regular activities open when we are there next year.

The SciTrek science museum held special events for FIRST last year but I see they suspended operations in August 2004.

Like last year, we are i think goin to the Braves game again and going to the Underground place.

The braves don't play on wednesday, I believe we're going on either friday or saturday. Should be a good series against the Marlins, although I bet we'll all be too tired to really enjoy the game

Hacky sack all day long and play some soccar and video games and just hang out around town
