At long last: Atlanta
Hey folks. I will be visiting Atlanta for Labor Day weekend as part of my broke down Lazarus tour, which really only has three stops, LOL.
I will be getting in on Thursday, September 1 and as I look at the schedule of events planned, I will really only have time for a meet & greet on that night.
So if you are interested in hanging out on that night, please let me know. Also, would any of you happen to know a decent spot for a meet & greet on that evening? Preferably close to the Sheraton Midtown Atlanta Hotel at Colony Square. (But it doesn't have to be.)

Good luck with your "broken down tour". LOL My sister is a writer (in Atlanta) as well, so I try to support all writers.
I'm sure you will be well received.

I work right around there so that's perfect. The places to meet around there are mostly either clubs, bars or fancy restaurants. There's a bar called 'Shout' in Colony Square. It gets a little crazy on the weekends but I'm not sure how it is on weeknights. I'll look into it.

I'm doing the best I can.
But back to Atlanta....WOOOO HOOOOO!!!!!
Also, I am not averse to having a get-together at someone's house if they'd like to host it. Just keeping the options open.

Ugh!
They're not including me on the Literary Cafe for ATL Black Gay and Lesbian pride weekend!
The co-chair of the org that sponsors that whole event told me himself that he had already passed along my information to the person in charge of the Literary Cafe. She claims she never got the information and HER first time hearing about me was this weekend, AFTER she had already closed the event.
Although this sucks, I am handling it. Somebody's lying or being very unprofessional and I don't think it's fair to penalize me through exclusion -- for all I knew, it was taken care of over a month ago.
I'll keep the Atlanta folks updated.
BTW, the Sheraton didn't have any small rooms available for a reception, so unless we do something informal in the lounge of the hotel (which I am fine with) I am still looking at off-site venues for a meet & greet.

That sucks. Go to the Flying Biscuit and drown your sorrows in a biscuit and positive lesbian-ic energy.

Here is the information about my Meet & Greet in Atlanta on Thursday, September 1, 2005! This will be my first time in Atlanta in ten years! I really hope you all can make it!
Meet & Greet
Rashid Darden
Author of Lazarus
Thursday, September 1, 2005

Red Chair Restaurant
550-C Amsterdam Avenue
Atlanta, GA
I will probably have a few books with me if you’re interested in purchasing one or two or twelve. ;-)
Location and Directions: The Red Chair Restaurant and Video Lounge is located in the Amsterdam Walk Shopping Mall. The mall is on Amsterdam Ave., NE. Amsterdam Ave. and can be reached as follows:
· At the intersection of Piedmont Rd., NE and Monroe Dr., NE, proceed east (away from Ansley Mall) on Monroe Dr. Go to the second traffic light - turn right - you are on Amsterdam Ave.
· At the intersection of 10th St., NE and Monroe Dr., NE (at the corner of Piedmont Park) go west on Monroe Dr. Go to the second traffic light - turn left - you are on Amsterdam Ave.
· Go under the Amsterdam Walk sign (over the street) - make a right and the Red Chair Restaurant and Video Lounge is on the right.
Thank you so much…I hope you can make it!

Don’t forget that if you will be in Atlanta on Thursday, September 1 at around 7:00pm, I want to see you! Come on over to a very informal meet and greet at the Red Chair Restaurant in Midtown Atlanta. I hear the food and drinks are really good so come on out and support a local business and a new author (me!) at the same time.
If you miss me on Thursday, I will be selling copies of Lazarus at the Black Pride Marketplace at the Sheraton Colony Square Hotel, also in Midtown at 118 Fourteenth Street, Northeast, on the following dates and times:
Friday, September 2 from 4pm to 11pm
Saturday, September 3 from 10am to 10pm
Sunday, September 4 from 12 noon to 4pm
And finally, I will be participating in the Black Pride Literary Café from 5pm to 9pm on Sunday, September 4, also at the Sheraton Colony Square Hotel. It would be so great if I could have a big showing there from any and everyone who supports my work as an author.
This is my first time in Atlanta in over ten years – make sure you stop and see me at one of these events so my trip can be a memorable one!
