If you are near Atlanta, GA, USA, TimeGate is into its last day and going strong. There is a full day of programming today, including Q and A sessions with all of the guests of honor and episode commentaries by Brad Greenquist and Mary Tamm. The wrap up session isn't until 8 pm, so get on over there if you haven't yet this weekend!

TimeGate is at the Holiday Inn Select on Chamblee Dunwoody near Perimeter Mall.

I hope that you will attend Timegate! It's a lovely con with great access to the guests, great folk to talk with, many events besides the panels, and lots of Southern hospitality. :)

Just a quick reminder that our next Atlanta Gallifreyans' meeting is this up-coming SUNDAY (not Saturday, due to the Doraville Police using the Civic Center for seminars), May 17th, 2009.

The meeting starts promptly at 2 PM, and will end around 8 PM. Directions and other info can be found on the club's website:

My husband and I will be attending the con next weekend and I have a question-how is the parking at the hotel?

I am asking for those times we want to venture from the con site for dinner or other items.
Does the hotel have a shuttle to the mall?

Thanks in advance!

The day of the Atlanta Gallifreyans meetings will be changing for the next few months, due to circumstances beyond our control. We will still be meeting, however, at the Doraville, GA, civic center. It's very easy to get to from I-285 and Buford Hwy, and is half-a-block from the Doraville MARTA station.

For the next few months, the Doraville Police have scheduled seminars for every Saturday, until at least September. So we are not going to be able to meet on our scheduled third Saturdays of the month, for a while.

After some discussion at the last meeting, we are going with Sundays, instead. Meeting time will probably be early afternoon to end in the early evening. I will let everyone know about the exact starting time asap.

Meeting dates are as follows:

May 17
June 21
July 19
August 16
