[BC] NAB

[gRAdy Moates]

Does anyone remember that the last day of the Atlanta NAB
was a disaster because of a Grateful Dead concert that was
happening that night, and all the DeadHeads congregating
and panhandling?

> Atlanta had the problem of the split show floor (the train tracks run 
> through the middle of the place) so the hall separation is as bad as going 
> from LVCC North to LVCC South without the benefit of the Central Hall.

> In addition Atlanta was very expensive compared to Vegas at the time. Both 
> Atlanta and Dallas have the problem of  most hotels being far away from 
> the CC's.

>> The Atlanta convention (1991?) was just as bad.  That time I stayed at a
>> hotel in Norcross, quite a distance away.  It seemed as though the

>> when
>> I left the convention center, a shuttle whisked me away to
>> Hartsfield-Atlanta airport and I was on my way pretty fast.
