Dec. 7th, 2008 Caffeine and Octane in Atlanta, GA

Caffeine and Octane Sunday, Dec. 7th, 8:00am-11:00am
Avenues at East Cobb: 4475 Roswell Rd., Marietta, GA

It is "officially" over, but since it is not a actual event sponsered by anyone, a lot of people will still show up.

Also, so much is going on, on this particular weekend, it might be dead. I know of two other events on this same day. Road Atlanta and Little Talladega both have something going on.

Road Atlanta has NASA South-East Santa Toy Run from 6:30 AM to 5:30 PM
Little Talladega has Santa Run 100

I will probably show up at Caffeine and Octane around 8 AM and leave for Road Atlanta around 11 AM... Anyone want to join? (BTW, if it rains, I am not going to Caffeine and Octane)

I'm up for C&O, weather permitting. Looks like the thing at Road Atlanta is about watching, not driving. Is that right?

It's a shame this event is dead. If no one is stepping up to fill the void, maybe I should check around the Alpharetta/Roswell area for a nice location with a large parking area and walking distance restaurants where we could host a similar Sunday morning gathering. What do you guys think?

Sounds like a good idea Jeremy, TB

Just got some free time. So, I have not been able to post for a while. Too much work. (May be it is a good thing?)

Caffeine and Octane was never an official gathering, but the general thinking is that it dies naturally around Winter and picks back up again in March.

It is not over as in, "over for good."

It is just going to become dormant.

We have never been kicked out and Panera Bread loves the business. I am sure it will continue, if not continue to grow.

However, if the mall does complain, we will have to find a different venue. I would definitely lend my support where I can.

Tom, I will call you when it gets closer to the 7th. :)

ATL GTR boys, So are we doing the Sunday Z car event or still on for the Caffeine and OCtane? TB

I'll see you guys at C&O around 8 (weather permitting). On the fence about the other event...

Due to us having to set up at the Follow the Z gathering, we won't be at C&O.

We only have pop up tents, tables, chairs, and banners, so me and a couple of my co-workers should be able to handle it. However, you are more than welcome to come out early and hang out if you like! :) We'll be there around noon or shortly thereafter to set up.

I would love to attend both but I have to do an online class for graduate school. I can probably do one, and really wanted to see the new Z in the flesh (which would prioritize Z1 Motorsports).
