Athens must do list 4 those traveling...

So where's the preshow meeting spot? I'm not sitting in a space alligator costume in a bar alone...

That all depends on what kind of drunk you want to get. Manhatan's is around the corner. I believe they have PBR tallboys and decent beers. They seem to have a like minded clientele.

Georgia Bar is fairly cool. Personally I'd skip the Globe entirely. El Centro used to pull the Panic stoner/cokehead crowd.

If you want to pound Maker's Mark you can meet me at the Roadhouse. I'll be there Wednesday wearing my purple tuxedo jacket.

Holy Crap! I almost forgot about JB's. Since the show is at the 40watt you are all REQUIRED to get a polish sausage from JB outside. Get the onions and his special "comeback sauce." You won't regret it, until the next morning.  ;D

If you guys really want to GREASE up , then hit the Varsity at the corner of Milledge and Broad...holy chili dogs ;D ;D ;D

JB destroys the Varsity. And I grew up here in ATL.

Makes me think of the Indigo Girls song about the south in the spring.

What a Spring break, kids.

So is it Manhattan? I like my PBR.

Don't go to Dreamland. If you want good bbq, go to Jot 'Em Down. It's so ridiculously good. It's the only bbq place I frequent. And when I say frequent, I mean all the time.

other places to check out:

Bars -- The Manhattan, The Globe, Flicker Bar, Farm 255. all of those are near the 40 Watt.

Restaurants -- Farm 255 (organic), Clocked (diner burgers), Weaver D's (soul food and a must stop for R.E.M. history tour. Automatic for the people!), Jot Em Down (bbq), The Grit (vegetarian place, i think partly owned by Stipe), Cali N Tito's (cuban/peruvian place with the most insanely good Cuban sandwich), Agua Linda (awesome mexican) and after the show, when you walk out don't forget to look left to see J.B.'s hotdog stand and his world famous Comeback sauce.

record stores -- Wuxtry for vinyl. Schoolkids is good too. both are known for having local musicians working.
