I'm getting a hero's welcome in Atlanta!


So Thursday I am heading south to Atlanta for the 4th of July to visit my best girlfriends from college (and frequent Aut, Colleen commentators) Kate and Chrystal. We plan to do all sorts of fun stuff like go to the aquarium, Margaret Mitchell house, the new Coca-Cola museum and probably some drinking and general merriment. Well, it turns out they are not the only ones who can't wait to see me! Check it out what K & C had to say about it this morning:

Kate: I think I can safely say without being overly hyperbolic that all of Atlanta is excited for your visit.

Chrystal: That’s true. Why just yesterday I saw someone on the street and they said to me, “Did you hear, Colleen is coming?” And I said, “Yes, in fact she is one of my best friends”. And I could see the jealousy in their eyes as I said that. They wanted to be your friend too. The whole city is abuzz with the news of your invasion. It will be just like when the Beatles invaded America.

Kate: Seriously, yesterday evening when I was sitting in traffic heading home I heard a traffic report on the radio. They were warning to allow a little extra time and patience during the commute over the next couple of days because extra people are on the roads, stocking up on party supplies in anticipation of Colleen. There is definitely an air of excitement in the ATL.

Who knew?
Just for fun check out the video Kate sent me this morning...

Colleen, you are going to set that town on FIRE!

Uh, figuratively speaking, of course.

Awesome video Kate. The outtakes were great too.
But, he missed some stuff, I didn't see any Coca Cola museum in there....

Hey, I like how you called us K and C. Its like we're in a sunshine band or something. Very nice! Possibly some foreshadowing for your readers as to what the tales of this weekend will include.....

You know, Gay Pride is also this weekend in the Atl and I read online this morning that there is going to be a Divas concert on Friday night and a Drag Queen Extravaganza Show on Sunday. Too bad Chris won't be here. Sounds Fabulous! And I think K and C and all of the Sunshine people would fit right in with those festivities.

I just watched that video again and noticed that he was in Atlanta. I guess I missed that the first time. He is dancing in the Olympic Ring fountain at Centennial Olympic Park, which is right next to the Coke Museum and the Aquarium and also where we are going to watch the fireworks show on Friday night.

Colleen, were you just making out in front of my apartment?
