Sideshow Atlanta

For the third year, Atlantans have gathered at the Starlight to watch as people in homemade soapbox cars compete in a downhill race.  The day included cold messy weather, several crashes, lots of alcohol and live music.  Particular standouts were the homemade hummer racer that won for best design and the crowd moving performance by Here Come the Mummies.

A good old fashioned zombie themed scavenger hunt through the metro area.  Players were given gadgets to ward off zombies and followed clues as they explored the city looking for hidden codes.  It all ended at a secret location, Sidebar, where some relaxing began.
