Went to the Atlanta Yelp party.
The proximity of the venue and the timing was the draw for me. Table 1280 in the Arts Center. One free shuttle stop for me. Otherwise, I didn't think it was going to be head over heels fun. Just maybe a good time with some very excited people. But it turned out pretty good. The people were a lot friendlier than I thought they would be. I actually met some people who had read my reviews which was stunning, because you write these things and just send them off to cyberspace, you don't expect that anyone would bother reading, let alone remember who wrote them. It's just like meeting an actual reader of this journal. Yikes!!! But the closeness and the familiarity with which the crowd mingled with each other only went to prove that they've been at this for quite awhile, people like me are just newbies looking for a release. People kept asking me how many reviews I'd written. If I wrote a review everytime I visited some place, I would possible have about 40. But it just takes too much brain power to put those things together.
Overall, great night meeting new people.
