The Great Hsiao Adventure...

Jerry visited this past weekend, and I took the tail end of last week off to hang with him. His flight got in at 11:30 or so on Thursday, and after grabbing him at the MARTA station, I had to stop off at work for a little bit, but afterwards, we went to Oxford comics to pick up my weekly stack (which just consisted of Megatokyo: Book 2).

Thursday night, we met up with a bunch of DuPree's and Thinking Man Tavern regulars at the North End (a.k.a. Peachtree Tavern) in Buckhead to support our very own Runa Ware in the finals for Insite Atlanta's ( Best Bartender in Atlanta 2004 )

Friday, we hit Fernbank, and managed to catch the Roar: Lions of the Kalahari IMAX movie. At night we hit Dave and Buster's and played a couple of rounds of Battletech in the new Tesla pods. Saturday, we went to Chinatown to get haircuts, and then hit the Atlanta Cyclorama and Oakland Cemetary, after which we just hit a Borders. We also walked along Peachtree in Midtown, taking in all of the new furniture and design stores. Finally, on Sunday, we just walked around Lenox Mall until it was time to head over to the airport for his flight.

Most of the trip, however, we were trying to get in all the ( good eats that Atlanta has to offer )

. It's a good thing we walked around most of the time, otherwise, I think I'd be rolling around in the office today. Just think, Jerry also suggested we eat at Fogo de Chao...

Unfortunately, we didn't get a chance to get to the High Museum, as well as take the actual tour of Oakland Cemetary, but we're kinda saving that up for the next time he comes up.

Umm, a favor?

Does anyone in the Atlanta area have a Geiger Counter?

Like I posted a bit ago, I bought a bunch of stuff from American Science and Surplus, which arrived over the weekend. A day after opening everything, I noticed the blacked-out sticker on the Ammo Case was slightly readable. Taking a closer look, I realized the permanent marker obscured the words "Warning: Radioactive Material."

I called them today, and got a call back from one of their techs. He said that they had the same concerns, and tested it and found no radiation. I'm still a bit uneasy about the thing, though. Since I know a few people who went to Georgia Tech, would there be anyone who could get me access to a Geiger counter?
