Directions?? Please??

I have my membership, my flight and even my room at the Hilton!!(ALL PAID UP:))  I also know I can take MARTA to the Peachtree Center foodcourt.  Can anyone tell me how to get from the food court to the Hilton?  I know that escalators and habitrails are involved, but I'm not sure which way to go.  I would like to avoid going outside if possible for health reasons.

Thank You in Advance!!

Looking for a SUPER easy last-minute costuming idea?!

Anybody out there looking for a SUPER simple and quick, but still really fun, costume idea?? I have an idea for a fun costume group. I know it's late notice, but this can be a really quick and low-budget costume for you...I am even willing to help with the concept/creation of the costumes... :)

Comment if any of this sounds good to you. :)

Elevators and Disabilities

[cheriedcds.livejournal.com]

This is a friendly public service announcement from Dragon*Con Disability Services.

The elevators in the Hyatt and the Marriott are a problem every year for people with disabilities.   For people with difficulty walking, the elevators are not a convenience, they are a necessity.  Please be considerate; if you CAN take the stairs or escalators, please DO.  If you see someone in a wheelchair, with a cane, or otherwise mobility impaired, please understand that they can’t move as fast as you can.  When the elevator doors open and able bodied folk rush in, the person with the disability is stuck and may end up waiting a very long time.  Please understand too that just because a person does not have an obvious -visible- disability, this does not mean that they have NO disability.  Many disabilities are invisible.  They are no less disabling. 

The elevators seem to be the place where many tempers get very short…  Even when someone loses their temper, please don’t respond to rudeness with more rudeness. 

If you are a person with a disability stuck in an elevator bank and unable to get onto an elevator, please look around the elevator bank for a phone-- this will connect you to hotel staff.  Let them know where you are and what you need.  They should be able to help you.

 

Thank you,

cherie

Rideshare from Mobile to DragonCon and back

[bmg3rd.livejournal.com]

With gas prices up and money down, Pixie and I thought we'd open up the idea of sharing the ride with someone  up to Atlanta from Mobile, Al. and back sharing the gas expenses, proportional to the number of people going. We can accommodate one, two or maybe even three (VERY CROWDED!!)  people. It will be a savings for everyone.
  We can fit one, maybe two people into our van with luggage. We'll have Pixie's power chair, with a small one for backup, plus our luggage (food, clothes, costume stuff, and now a small refrigerator). We ca put some onto the roof rack, too, if more room is required for a third person. Pixie is planning to use the DVD player on the trip up, so the front passenger seat, and one/two seat(s) in the very back will be available.
  We will be leaving early Thursday morning and leaving to arrive back in Mobile Monday night, with a break for gas and/or potty breaks, probably around Montgomery.
  No smoking at all is allowed. She's allergic.
  Contact myself at blanchard.guthrie @ mchsi.com, or Pixie at pixie4real @ mchsi.com. Our home phone number is 251-634-1629.

Thanks
Blanchard and Pixie

P.S. I've listed/re-listed this several times. I can't believe we are the only ones who go to DragonCon from the Mobile area!?!?!?!
