I am also interested, me and fourzerofour have been looking for somewhere to chill at the night the game releases, we found this site and this place located in Alpharetta, GA. Here is the website if anyone local is interested- http://www.usgamingarena.com/gaming_tournaments.php

I guess I'll stop if it's in early September or anytime in August. I'm somewhere in Alpharetta, but I don't really care where we meet.

As for a meet up place, it all depends on what you have in mind. Do you wanna LAN, or do you just wanna meet up and chat and stuff?

if we want to LAN, we can definitely do it (for free) at georgia tech if everyone is able to bring their own PC/laptop. We will be able to use a big classroom for up to 60ish people where each person gets a ethernet jack and power outlet.

in fact the SC club there usually has late night LAN/proleague(or well any league that's on)-watching type parties on fridays or saturdays, and any TLer is always welcome. We can try to do a big one in August with as many TLers/GTers (or really anyone who plays SC and wants to come by) as possible if you guys want.

I think we should have a midnight release party, even if some people don't buy since they preordered or bnet 2.0 still sucks.

So wow, a lot of replies today. We can LAN if you guys want to, but that's something that requires everyone to bring their giant computers (or, well, not everyone has giant ones, but in my case..) or laptops to the event. Unfortunately I can't game very well with my laptop, so bringing my PC probably won't happen. But LAN is a possibility, especially at Tech. It's just that Atlanta parking isn't always easy to come by.. And keeping expensive PCs around is also a risky thing. But I'd still go to a LAN and hang out.

Hanging out / midnight release party sounds awesome though. Problem is that the place where I'm getting the game is actually in Suwanee, not Atlanta.. But if you guys wanna do that, meet up and discuss future meetups, that'd be a good plan also. We can do multiple ones if people can't make it. I mean, if you're in the Atlanta area, it's not exactly hard to get to Tech or wherever we decide to meet up, so multiple ones wouldn't really bother too many people (I don't think).

Meeting up a restaurant seems fun too, but that depends on how many people we have. Don't want to crash the whole place.

I am down for meeting some fellow local SCers at first then we could work out the possibilities of a LAN.

If we're going to do two meetups, we should start throwing down some dates to see what's good for everyone. What do you guys think ?

Also, @fourzerofour: Is your username a reference to Atlanta area codes ? Haha.

I'm going to Korea after staying in Atlanta for a bit. I always miss TL meetups by a week. I was hoping I would finally hang out with fellow TLnetters.

What dates are you guys thinking about ? Throw some out there. I guess if no one really does, I'll do the date-tossing.

Depends on when during the day you want to hold it. If it's anytime near like 4-6 PM, I'd definitely prefer Saturday. Traffic during rush hour on Friday is just terrible.
