I woke up relatively early and not hungover which was good because while there wasn't much left to do on the tourist agenda, we had a crazy night at The Compound to look forward to ($640 crazy for our table fare).
We started our day with brunch at a local favorite The Flying Biscuit [insert fanfare music here]. There was a line when we got there though so we got some coffee at Caribou Coffee which is a popular coffee shop in the area. The wait was shorter than we thought which was good because we were hungry:
I got their breakfast special which consisted of 3 eggs, tomatoes, bacon, potatoes, and of course, a flying biscuit [insert fanfare music here]:
After clogging my arteries a bit, Stephen, Heman, and I took a stroll through Piedmont Park while Julia took Carol home because she was still feeling hungover. They were in the midst of setting up the Dogwood Festival, and though the weather was muggy, the park was still very scenic:
Stephen gave an excellent tour of the park and surrounding areas. "And here we have... more trees!":
In a couple of years, this view probably won't be the same because according to Stephen, the city plans to play Sim City between Atlanta's midtown and downtown to combine the two areas into downmidtown:
Once we reached the other side of the park, we rendezvoused with Julia at a nearby parking lot where dozens of n00bs got their cars booted for parking there for the festival.
After the park, we headed over to the Lenox Square mall for Stephen's new glasses, attempted to buy Guitar Hero 2 for XBox 360 (sold out ftl), and to browse around at Urban Outfitters. We were probably too tired to shop though so we just went home to rest up for the crazy $640 night.
