I actually posted a thread a few weeks ago about the possibility of getting together for dinner one night or something, but it didn't get a lot of response. It's a shame, because Dragon*Con is one of the largest conventions around in a major regional hub of the U.S. I don't know how many players are coming, but I know that there are a decent number already in and around the Atlanta area.
It's probably too late to plan anything particularly special this year, but next year, I might try harder to actually get a count of people who would be interested in attending a meet-and-greet, reserve a restaurant or something, and get everyone together. Personally, I'd prefer something that's not right at the event itself, in case people who are in the area but not necessarily attending Dragon*Con want to go, somewhere away from D*C central where lots of stuff is probably already booked up. Maybe a Dave & Busters night or something.
We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.

I live in Decatur. I'd be up for a meet and greet in the evening next year.
Of course, now that I think about it, I don't see any reason why we have to do it only during Dragon*Con. Maybe we can have an Atlanta meet-up once every quarter or so, with one targeted around Dragon*Con so that visitors will have an activity to do while they're here.
We did have a meet-up years ago that was coordinated by, if I'm not mistaken, Blue Sigma. Unfortunately, I heard that he passed away a while back 
so I doubt he'll be coordinating any more. Maybe it's just a matter of someone saying, "Hey, let's all get together one night!" and finding a place to do it.
If we do want to start having Atlanta meet-ups once every three months or so with Dragon*Con being targeted as a big one each year, that would make the next logical time to have one sometime around the start of December. So is anyone interested in this? If so, I can make a few phone calls and see what our options are as far as location.

I'm in the Atlanta area as well and would be game.

That's odd; I did a search and didn't find it. Oh well. All the same, once I get a better chance to look over the maps and schedules, I may pick a courtyard or something and a time and post it anyway, just as a really casual thing. It's not like there aren't dozens of little chair spaces around the hotels.|

Elsewise, I'll see whom I can find running the MMO track and try to get some facts about why we got 'shafted', and what we can do about it for next year. Maybe if the PAX schedule favors us again, we can get some actual Paragon Studios reps out.

Due to some kind of unforeseen and bizarre circumstance (I blame Nemesis), there is NO CoH panel this year in the MMO track. At least not that I could find.
What part of the conspace can we take over and when in order to get together and shout each other down about hel0rz, pvp, the new f2p format, and anything else we beat to death on the forums every year?
