    Grainreaper in Atlanta, a recap..

    I want to say thank you everyone for meeting with me while I was out in Atlanta, Georgia! The hospitality shown me was wonderful! I had a fantastic time hanging out with you all, I hope to be able to get together with everyone on my next training trip. There is a lot of new technology in the works so I'm going to be back out soon I'm sure...

    Our first gathering was at the 'Brass Tap' craft beer bar in Dunwoody, their local beer selection was off the chain, and the food was tasty as well, I met the usual suspects and had a wonderful time, and boy does a kilt attract attention out there! Several ladies came up asking about the kilt occasion and complimented us on looking sharp, several men asked about where to get one and lastly we were chatted up by a gent from Britain who was happy to see the kilt out and about in his new home area.

    Next day we met up at Taco Mac in Cumberland, again there was fantastic food and quality beer to explore, more comments from passers by and employees alike... I'm so happy to have met you folks, and count you among my friends, anytime you are in my area do not for a moment hesitate to hit me up, we can hit the town, or pull up a chair for a home cooked meal.

    I would post up pics in a hot minute, but dinner is calling and I'm starving!

    Pics to follow!!

    Also I notice my yellow tie is crooked as all get out, I call this the "Mikilt effect" which states that the likelihood that an item of your apparel being askew increases with the odds of a photo being taken of you.

    It's a well documented fact!

    @Mikilt am I right here or what?

    Thank you for keeping that Chicago rabble tradition going.

    My collar also needs fixing, so I think you've brought that affliction to us in Atlanta!

    I'm glad you had a great time out here, and I certainly enjoyed meeting you. Hopefully I can learn a thing or two about brewing or cooking haggis from you!

    Southern Hospitality...

    Wanted to say thanks for sharing your piccies- they were very well done, crooked tie notwithstanding (wait til yo see the state of my waistcoat at Savannah... presuming I ever figure out how to upload my piccies from g+)- and glad to hear you had such a fine time in Hotlanta. Definitely a good crew there. You should try and make it down for the Conyers Burns Supper if it ever fits your schedule. It's pretty brill!

    Cheers,
    Wesley

    @GrainReaper, a real treat to meet you. I'm always amazed by the variety of folk we meet this way, and the
    amazing skill sets folk bring to the table. Impressive. Good conversation, as well, on a wide variety of subjects.
    One of our last comments is one I've often thought, haven't heard many others say; we can know a lot of stuff
    about a lot of stuff, but all those facts have limits, and in reality, what do we really know at all?
