I should know my travel inbound fairly soon - outbound I just need to get to Atlanta by Monday evening to connect back to London.

Don't worry about the Christian Nubians. The nearest is Joey in alabama and he's never run them. Silvio and myself likely won't be there.

That's three people actually own that outfit down there?

I've never even seen one, never mind played against it

Madaxeman,
do you still need transportation from the tournament to Atlanta?

Nope - I'm picking up a rental car in Memphis and driving down from there.

cheers anyway

Any hotel recommendations?

Several appear to be staying at the Days Inn at the Thornhill Rd exit as there are no hotels immediately near the venue.
