A GTG with a Twist? MBWorld Dinner #1
I'm kicking around the idea of organizing a GTG sometime in the next month or so, but something slightly different. Instead of the usual tire-kicking in the parking lot (which we should be able to do anyway), we should have a really nice dinner gathering at a fine Atlanta restaurant. We could have a ****tail hour and possibly even run some video footage of previous GTGs and play the DVD from the Northeast AMG fest, assuming we could secure a private room.
At this point, I'm "open" as to a date and location, but would really like to go some place top-notch. My preference is for a Saturday evening, but will entertain all offers. If a member here has some influence with a fine local establishment, please let me know as we'd want a locale that could cater to a decent sized crowd while having good (safe and abundant) parking.
Please reply to this thread if you have an interest in attending. We can let the specific plans develop once other members have provided feedback.

I'm in, regardless. Centrally located would be nice - what about a private room at Ruth's Chris or McKendrick's in Sandy Springs? While it's a drive, Cafe Elan At Chateau Elan would be a great setting - and very secure. No inside pull at any of the above, just mulling possibilities.

2000 CLK-430 - Sold
How are you guys? I just sold my BMW 540 and Iam picking up a 2000 CLK 430 with 35000 miles this weekend. I'am in the Kennesaw area, just moved here from the Seattle area. I will be glad to meet with you all, being this is my first Mercedes. I'am a BMW fanatic and I hope that I have a good experience with the 430.

i live in chateau elan and i think that is kinda far for people from like kennesaw to be driving even though it does have plenty of space. chops is nice but i dont know about parking if the numbers get big, i guess we could park in the parking lot of the shopping center across the street. LET'S GO TO DAVE AND BUSTERS IN ALPHARETTA. Nice big parking lot and can get something to eat and play some games

Things are moving along quickly! Thanks to some fellow MBWorld members, we are in the process of investigating several area restaurants. We'll find a spot that will suit us, I'm sure.
At this point, we are looking at one of two dates: Saturday, March 18th or the 25th. The final selection will be based on what facility can meet our needs. The idea is to meet around 5pm for drinks and a chance to all meet each other. If the private room has A/V capacity, we can show some videos and pictures of prior events.
Remember, our aim in this case is to do a more "upscale" meet than a typical GTG, otherwise we could just meet at Sonic like the VeeDubz do! Who knows....maybe we'll end up there.
Andretti (indoor superkart racing) is open late on Saturday evenings.....we could always to there afterward to lay our driving skills on the table.
ALL MBWorld members are welcome!

.............as far as location is concerned, if it has not been decided already, consider "Shout" in midtown. It is a nice trendy restaurant/bar and they have a circular drive way. It will be cool to see all those AMG's lined up in the drive way. Another location with an even bigger and circular drive way which is even trendier is "Bluepoint" restaurant across from Phips plaza. Another Location is the Lobster Bar that has a big circular driveway that can accomodate a lot of cars. If the Lobster bar is on the list, let me know, I know the guy that runs it and I can probably help.

We are still in the early stages....but finding some obstacles like a $2,000 to $3,000 food and beverage guarantee for a private room. Not too bad, but Mrs. Chappy would not like it if I got a lot of "promises" then only 5 of us showed up....AMEX would love me though.
Bluepointe is a great restaurant and the type of place (like Ruth's Chris) that I had in mind. I have eaten in their private room and would be a nice place to meet. Ted, would you check into the Lobster Bar to see if we could secure a private room (with audio/visual access)?
I want this GTG to fly!

Even though I live in Columbia, SC I had already planned on going to Andretti Karting this Saturday the 18th evening just for the heck of it. Ironic that you would consider a GTG that same place and day! Anyway you can count me and my SL55 in on that night.

I am most likely in right now those dates appear to work.
Although I vote against Blue Pointe. Have not eaten in their private dining room but have been rather disappointed in service, quality, and atmosphere when I have been there.

Count me in. But if it is on March 25th the earlier the better would be good for me. I have a office black tie ****tail at the aquarium. But I plan on attending both events if they fall on the same day.
