You're one of the many bloggers here that I want to meet in person. If you look at that map provided by the GA GOP, you'll see that the Marriott is a bit away from the convention and the Loafing Leprechaun, but it can't be more than a few minutes.

DUI laws punish an action that puts others at a proven risk of danger.

Blue laws punish an action–a retail transaction– that is harmful to no one.

After you exit, keep to the left most lanes (the right lane will put you on Old Peachtree). Drive the access rd until you come to a redlight, which is Sugarloaf. Take a right. Go thru the next redlight (Satellite Blvd). It will be about 200 yds on your left behind the Holiday Inn and in front of the Arena. The 1818 club is also there near the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce. Hope that helps.

There is no "we all agree." If you think that "we all agree" is a limit, then I am sorry to say that you are sadly naive of human nature and of government itself.
