If you plan on purchasing a badge Saturday morning at Dragon*Con for the Grand Prix report to the gaming area in which Grand Prix Atlanta will be held by 8:00am Saturday morning (08/30/03). You will then be taken to a special badge registration line to expedite your registration to the Con so that you will be processed in time to enter the Grand Prix.
Dragon*Con is well know for it’s parties. If you book a hotel room in one of the main hotels be sure to tell them you want to be on a PARTY FLOOR or a QUIET FLOOR. I am not kidding about this. The question you have to ask yourself is”Do you want to sleep?”
The hotels for the Con are conveniently located near the MARTA Peachtree Center station and can be reached via indoor walkways. The MARTA transit system has direct train service from Atlanta Hartsfield Airport’s terminals with no transfers, with an approximate travel-time of 30 minutes from the airport to Peachtree Center and the hotels. The fare is $1.75.
