Upcoming Events For Me

Upcoming EventDate(s)Comments
Visits to Six Flags Over Georgia and Whitewater Park Throughout 2019, in-season (March-December) I have a Diamond membership for all Six Flags parks, as well as free parking, a Season Flash Pass and an annual dining pass, so this is a good, relatively inexpensive way to have some fun, get out of the house and get some exercise, and get wet during the long, hot summer!
If you're interested in coming along or meeting up, whether on your own pass or as a guest of mine (there are some freebie days and discounts available), email me or contact me on Facebook!
Georgia Renaissance Festival, Fairburn GA (plus drum-circle and gathering after the end of each week's Faire) Weekends, mid-April through early June To my surprise, once again this year I'm "working" at the drum booth (Spice Traders Music), primarily on Sundays after noon. It's located at the foot of the hill near the middle of the Faire -- right across the creek from my old, sadly departed employer, Starfire Swords. Generally, you can listen for the sound of our drums. :)
I'll also be participating in the traditional drum-circle, fire-spinning and gathering at La Fiesta restaurant in Union City on Sunday nights after Faire.
Roadtrips up to Blue Hole Ocoee swimming hole at Ocoee Whitewater Center, near Ducktown, TN Alternating weeks during the summer, usually on Tuesdays and Wednesdays; schedule to be announced once dates are finalized The annual tradition dating back to c. 1994 continues, with roughly biweekly, two-day trips up to this most-excellent swimming hole in the Tennessee mountains. Fresh mountain water that's usually clear and reasonably warm, underwater tunnels you can swim through, sections that are up to 14 feet deep...it's a great place for a summertime escape. (But don't go on weekends, when the Tennessee Valley Authority flows the river high for rafting and kayaking.)
After a floody, rainy winter, roadtrips might not start until June this year. :(
Dragon*Con 2018, downtown Atlanta Labor Day Weekend, 2019 33 years of DragonCon, and I've been there from before the very beginning. I'll be staying at the Sheraton again, of course, with its glorious pool/hot tub area.
ProgPower USA XIX, Center Stage Atlanta September 2019 Following immediately after DragonCon again this year, this is the best indoor metal fest in the U.S. I've attended every one so far, and have sponsored bands' appearances at ProgPower since ProgPower USA III.
"Regular, cheap" cruise to the Eastern and Southern Caribbean October 2019 Less than $100/day including all fees and taxes -- in a balcony room -- 8 nights and four great ports! Can't wait! Should be awesome!
Sixth annual trip to Atlantis, Paradise Island Bahamas (but staying at the adjacent Comfort Suites) mid-November, 2019 The room at the Comfort Suites -- right across from the Atlantis resort's Coral Tower entrance -- actually would include two guests, so if you're interested in meeting up there and staying in the room, contact me for the exact dates via email or Facebook. The airfare would be the biggest expense here, but if you can find a cheap option (maybe Southwest) or cash in miles or points....
Guests at the Comfort Suites enjoy full access to all of Atlantis and its nifty Aquaventure Water Park and huge saltwater aquarium. It's also considerably cheaper than Atlantis and the rooms -- suites -- are nicer. The only exceptions to the complimentary access are Atlantis' Cove and Reef Towers' luxury facilities, the Mandala Spa, and Dolphin Cay.
