Good job getting your questionnaire. Every time I see that your from Stone Mountain I remember spending a Friday night there and seeing a laser show. It was amazing. /SP8 Nic

The laser shows can be quite fun with friends. I know I have had fond memories of the laser shows. Remember to "claim your land in the name of the queen" early with a blanket and some chairs and park close to the exit. Ofcourse, I'm sure the regulars already know that. Oh, and let the person that you like the least drive. The traffic... oh the traffic.
