This will be the last one.... These are the "after drinking for a while pictures".... Did you guys know, you can't buy beer at a store, in ATL, AT ALL ON SUNDAY??? In the dome you can buy it, or at a bar, but not at the store! INSANE!

One of the Falc fans told me that the law will change in 2012 though, and you will be able to buy after noon on Sunday I think? That's how it is here in Birmingham....

It will.. it was voted on in most of the state just about a week ago I think

Sweet! Next year, I will be able to buy some before the game!

Yeah, I knew that. Only because I was in Atlanta one year for NYE, went to see Phish @ Lakewood Amphitheater. I distinctly remember getting into town (NYE was on a Sunday), and stopping at a gas station to pick up some beer before the concert. I was baffled, and pissed!!

I also remember as we arrived at the venue, the theater sign still read "Van Halen Tonight" (apparently they didn't change the sign from the last show). I guess the boys from Phish saw it too, because the encore was "Running With The Devil"!!!!

Good times!!

You cant buy beer on Sunday.... (those are called blue laws, I think, but I dont know why.)
In a related story Mardi Gras is only a holiday in Louisiana. Everybody else still has to go to work/school.
Texas used to have all kinds of blue laws.

Good pics, Paul. Gives good perspective of the GA Dome. Im guessing it looks smaller and rounder in person, than it looks on tv, and probably much less imposing that our Dome.

No actually Mobile, Alabama celebrates Mardi Gras as well and takes the day off. I know our company does, we just don't get it off here in Houston.
