The year 2000's NIMHcon was held in Atlanta, Georgia. Eight people were
in attendance. Here is a small sampling of what we did:

The lovely Hartsfield Intl. Airport's food court. One of the first
things I saw upon arriving to Atlanta. :) |

Well, I thought it was funny... |

A quaint old-style architecture church that I saw while waiting in
line for the World of Coke. |

Welcome to Underground Atlanta,
shopping extravaganza! Since there's a much better background
on how Underground Atlanta came about, it suffices me to say it's a sort
of below-street-level mall/bazaar. J.C. Foster (Badbird) is the guy in
the left-hand corner with the sports jersey on. |

uga-amethyst.jpg (30.6 KB)
Some very beautiful amethyst crystals in the Art By God shop in the
Underground. |
 |
uga-indians-baseball.jpg
(36.8 KB)
A large (approx. 4' tall) baseball with the Indians' logo on it. There
were a number of large baseballs like this scattered around the Underground,
but since I didn't think they were all that interesting, I only
took a picture of one. |
 |
uga-old-car.jpg (29.6 KB)
An old car, with a number of people from our group standing in front.
Left to Right (as far as I can tell): J.C., Ken, Matt G., Bob, Matt B.,
and Gregg. |

The front of the Warner Bros. Store on the upper level of the Underground. |
 |

A group photo in front of the Warner Bros. Store. Left to right: J.C.,
Bob, "Robin" (picture blacked out by request), Matt B., Nathaniel, Matt G., Ken. Photo taken by Gregg Anderson. |
 |
whale-mural.jpg (35.2 KB)
A part of the Atlanta skyline, including a very nice mural with whales
in it. |

Entrance to the World of Coke. |

Close up of the 'Coke' logo that hangs outside the World of Coke building. |

A group photo taken in front of a dormant fountain in front of the
World of Coke building. Left to right: Ken, Nathaniel, J.C., Bob, "Robin"
(picture blacked out by request), Matt G., Matt B. Photo taken by Gregg Anderson. |

woc-carved-bottle.jpg (22.7
KB)
A wood and stone carving of a Coca-Cola bottle. |
 |
woc-cokeserved.jpg (18.3 KB)
A number larger than the national
debt! |
 |
woc-flags.jpg (46.8 KB)
The flags of the nations that carry Coke, I'd assume. |
 |
woc-machine.jpg (31 KB)
A weird faux Coke bottling machine. The easily amused can watch this
thing for hours while it does... absolutely nothing. Oh, it looks
like it's filling bottles, but, at least as far as I can tell anyway, it
isn't. I think that's Matt B. in the foreground... |
 |
woc-maxhedroom.jpg (37.8 KB)
...and so I was thinking, 'Cool, Max Headroom! I remember him! Let's
take a picture of it!' |
 |
woc-polar-bear.jpg (26.6 KB)
The Coca-Cola polar bear. I couldn't get anyone to sit still long enough
to do a group photo in front of it, so there's no one in this picture from
our group. |
 |
woc-tasting-room.jpg (40.6
KB)
The Coca-Cola tasting room. You can try all of the products Coca-Cola
makes, both domestically and internationally, in this room and the one
adjacent to it. That room was boring though, so I didn't take a picture
of it. By the way, if you ever go to the World of Coke, you should try
'Beverly'. No, really, you should... especially if you're a masochist.

J.C., Ken and "Robin" (photo blacked out by request) try on their NIMHcon Shirts before we go to Stone
Mountain. Photo taken by Gregg Anderson. |

stone-mountain.jpg (58.4 KB)
Stone Mountain, "the
worlds' largest exposed granite monolith, with relief carving of Confederate
notables." I'm just waiting for the laser show. :) |

NCon06.jpg (58.4 KB)
Hey! Look at those bunch 'a weirdos! They've got cartoon mice on their
shirts! :) Our group, showing off their NIMHish pride at Stone Mountain.

Close up of the carving. From left to right, the figures are representations
of Robert E. Lee, "Stonewall" Jackson, and Jefferson Davis. |
 |
sm-mansion.jpg (39.2 KB)
This mansion-like building, I believe, is the visitors' center for
Stone Mountain Park. |
 |
sm-fireworks.jpg (24.5 KB)
One of only two of the many (around fifteen) shots I took of the fireworks
and laser show that actually turned out. |
 |
sm-iwojima-flag.jpg (40.1
KB)
The second shot that turned out. The laser image is of the soldiers
raising the flag at Iwo Jima. ~/o I'm Proud to Be an American...~/o (You
can see a movie
file of this part of the show on the official site.) |
 |
nimhcon-logo.jpg (24.6 KB)
This was the logo I made up for NIMHcon; it was printed on the front
of the t-shirts we (meaning Gregg) had made. |
