a mess of a weekend

estimates of visitors to the city this weekend range from 800,000 to a million and i saw a good many of them as i walked to and from downtown this afternoon --- dragon'con may be the biggest part of it and has weirdness strewn all over downtown and up and down peachtree --- but there is also the giant decatur book festival, black gay pride, ga tech's first home game, three home games for the braves, and some football game at the dome --- it's a good thing that everybody that actually lives here has gone to the beach or somewheres
