Re: Anyone go to MACNA?

It wasnt that bad, first off most everyone stayed at the westin which is where it was at. I stayed at the Sheraton which was two blocks down the road. I never saw any hookers! I did however get stopped and asked for food or money at least once every trip to the hotel. I keep a gun on me so I wasnt to worried. but still there were so many cops wandering around it wasnt an issue. Im sure if you went wandering around you might get into some trouble. Me and a buddy got kinda tired of the beggers, so we took at small 5 gallon sample mix of the instant ocean sea salt and took it out of the box, so it was a small ziplock size bag of salt! first guy that asked for money we gave a bag of salt with no explanation what it was, He looked like it was christmas time. If he snorted it I bet it burned for awhile! We ended up telling him what it was! Im not that evil!

As for atlanta being pricey, you would think staying at the sheraton that things would be somewhat included in the absorbatent price of the room, but no. $80 to park in the parking garage from thursday night to sunday. and $10 a day to use there wireless. then there is no drink machines, so you have to buy $3 canned drinks from the gift shop. Its all a market. Then after paying $160 for the event, all drinks in the event are $6 - $7

That wouldn't be on account of the shotgun strapped to your back would it?
