Re: [RC] Deb Bennett/Convention - heidiThey had a good program there, Deb Bennett, Moses Gonzolaz, etc. The storm was interesting since it was the end of March. The good news was the hotel didn't run out of food or beer. We didn't stay at the convention center. We flew in just ahead of the storm, and went up to my then-husband's sister's place, somewhere a bit north of Atlanta. So we commuted in her car through that snow to attend. I can still remember her wringing her hands as we set out the first morning, saying about her car, "It has all-weather tires, but I don't know if this is one of the weathers!" The highway really wasn't all that bad for a couple of rural "nawthroners"--all the folks from Atlanta who didn't have a clue how to drive in it stayed home. I don't think we saw more than a couple of cars in the hour that it took us to drive down. Worst of it was that the first day, the visibility was poor, and we couldn't see the convention center from the street--I stopped to ask directions, and it turned out that it was the very next place to the one where we stopped. We had a great time going back and forth and being the lone drivers on Atlanta roads. <g> The bad part was that we had a full week of being tourists planned after that, and the first few days we were limited to Atlanta because the roads further north were still closed. <sigh> But we did eventually get to see part of what we went to see...
