"dirty south adventures - day two"

the conference didn't start until tonight, so today we went on some adventures through Atlanta. first, we headed out to Coca-Cola™ World. (don't worry... i felt conflicted about the whole thing and am still a devoted Pepsi™ fan since they make the Dew™.) nevertheless, it was pretty cool! after that, we went for a walk through the Centennial Olympic Park (and it's fountains!) and then went to visit the CNN building. after that, we hit up happy hour at McCormick and Schmick's (or something like that) where a 1/2 pound burger was only $1.95!!!! (amazing!)

after that, we headed back to the convention for the opening session. it was pretty freakin' amazing! i mean... the A/V setup alone was as cool as almost any concert (except U2) that i've been to in the past few years. the worship was great and Reggie Joyner (Reg if you know him!) gave a fantastic new application of the prodigal son parable. (i'm sure i'll be blogging about that at a later date.)

afterward, i met up with Jen Stowell in the lobby of the hotel and we made plans for lunch tomorrow with our old friend, David Robles.

overall... a fantastic day! check out the pics below...
