For those of us exiles who aren't going to be lucky enough to fly home for the CIS Final - how are you planning to mark the occasion?
For me, I'll be linking the PC up to the big screen TV and having a few punters round for it. Dixie will be joining me along with another Edinburgh exile (who has leanings towards the dark side, I'm afraid to say) and a couple of my American friends who '"get it" to watch the game. A trip will be made to a wee shop in the 'burbs of Atlanta called Taste of Britain to get some Scotch Pies in for half time, along with some other Scottish delicacies (sadly the Tunnocks have all gone). There'll be Tennents lager, Belhaven and McEwans Export and hopefully we'll have an excuse to keep the excess going for most of the day!
Any other cup final parties taking place?

It's my mate Jerry. He's responsible for me being here as it was him that introduced me to Tina. He's no really a jambo, just a bit mixed up!

I live out near Decatur (but still within the Perimeter, obviously!) but I can hang about in the city till a mutually beneficial time! I'll pm you my cellphone number, and will give Barney a shout. I believe he is going to be on your flight. |

I'm at the Twin towers at the Capital, right at the Georgia State MARTA - 4 miles away from you. I should be able to piss off early (although I'm still at work at 11.20 tonight). I'm on Delta DAGT4P - Seat 17A.

Cool. I don't really know the area around Georgia State, but I assume there's some good bars given that it's student central?  |
