The flea market is also a good selling point. There are usually some really great deals to be had an there is a frenzy of wheeling and dealing when it opens. Now that I'm downsizing my collection that has become less of a factor.
That said, I'm curious to see if any other F:Aters are going.
Three weeks later Is AVERY"S HOUSEPARTY Feb18-21 where we'll be gaming at Launius'clubhouse and visit the Swamp if Frank will have us.
There is also possibly a Mercer Game Day which is free that will coalece sometime in late February/Early March. I've spoken with Rich Stiley, the Mercer Coordinator and he's receptive to the idea but wants to see what his schedule for 2010 looks like before he commits. The following is a post from Ward and more information is on the website.

Atlanta Game Fest 15
Four Days of Fun & Games!
January 28-31, 2010
Holiday Inn Select, Atlanta-Peachtree Corners
www.atlantagamefest.com
The Atlanta Game Fest may have a record for most hotels one event has been held in, I think this is the eighth, but we've finally found a hotel that "get's it." This will be, by far, the nicest and most gaming space we've had in Atlanta. The hotel also has a great room rate of $59.
To make this more appealing for folks coming in from out-of-town, the Fest is now four (count 'em) days. I think the longer time allows folks to really settle in for several days of gaming, plus, of course, more games!
Single-day memberships are not available, so we shouldn't get swamped on Saturdays. There will still be plenty of folks for a good flea market.
If you are planning on attending I encourage you to reserve your hotel rooms early, the cut off date is for that room rate is early January. You can cancel the room day before, so there's no risk in reserving early. You can now pay for memberships at the site, or you can still pay me at the door.
We have a great spot and an extra day, so I'm looking forward to the best Fest yet! Hope to see you there.

I'll definitely come to Avery's House Party. I have BIG PLANS for that one. There probably won't be another one when I get done with it.
Mercer is a good event, I'll probably come out to that one too. I'd actually recommend out-of-towners come to that over Atlanta Game Fest, it's not as crowded and you can get cheapsters like me to come.

The thing about it is, the same thing will happen at that Game Fest that happens at every one. Robert and I will find some out-of-the-way room or table and our regular friends will come play games with us. And I'll sit there and think "we could have done this at home".
Last time I was at a Gamefest one of those female board gamer sows chastised me in the hallway. I said something to Will about there being a bunch of freaking nerds here and she snapped at me "They're board game geeks, not nerds". I realized that I was in the wrong place.

You and I both know that was a mating call. Besides, I saw you take her room key...one of those female board gamer sows chastised me in the hallway.

And yay for light beer, so I don't become one of those female gaming sows.

Don't any of you fuckers drink real alcohol? I was gonna hit the local packy up for some single malt, that I'll probably be able to buy at a tasty discount, considering that all of us saps north of the border take it up the ass hooch-wise even taking into account monetary parity.

I've not ruled out GameFest. Barnes always makes noises about skipping...then always goes. Though this time may be different with his child on the way...
