vertek Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Greetings all! I'm curious if anyone would be interested in an Atlanta area meetup. I'll gauge interest and try to organize something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobozou Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 holiday season coming up could make scheduling harder until next year, but i'd be interested! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlCDore Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I would be interested in joining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLValue Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I was thinking starting the same thread, thank you for beating me to it! I'm definitely interested so just let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vertek Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 Glad to hear there's some interest. I was worried there wouldn't be any members out here in the "boonies". I'd be available to meetup either evenings or weekends, weekends preferably. Which week in December is best for everyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLValue Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Also available evenings but prefer the weekends (don't want to have to cancel because of work). As far as weekends December 6/7 and 20/21 work best for me, and evenings I can try and meet up the first or second week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omahafloat Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I'm a daily reader, infrequent poster, and a partner of Sanjeevs. Would love to meet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vertek Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 Greetings all Thanks for expressing your interest. In light of the holidays, it seems early December is best. Would Sunday December 7th evening work for y'all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cemadh Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I am very much interested. Please try to organize it after Jan 4, 2015 because I am out of the country between Dec 10 and Jan 4. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vertek Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 No worries. My ultimate hope is that things go well, and this can evolve into a periodic meeting with pitches, presentations. I attended a "Young Buffett" event organized by Matt Miller and Joe Koster a few years back and found it very engaging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlCDore Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Greetings all Thanks for expressing your interest. In light of the holidays, it seems early December is best. Would Sunday December 7th evening work for y'all? Vertek, Thanks for posting about a get together. Sunday evenings are difficult for me to do. Sunday afternoons would work. Any idea what part of town? Thanks, AtlCDore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vertek Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 Sunday afternoons work for me as well since I'm fairly flexible. Just trying to pick a time that would minimize schedule conflicts. As far as location goes, I'm in Dunwoody. Anywhere between downtown and Alpharetta are fine with me.

ATLValue Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 It turns out that I'm traveling the weekend of December 7th as well so that weekend won't work for me either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlCDore Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Sunday afternoons work for me as well since I'm fairly flexible. Just trying to pick a time that would minimize schedule conflicts. As far as location goes, I'm in Dunwoody. Anywhere between downtown and Alpharetta are fine with me. Vertek, Sorry about the delay in responding. Not sure how many there are of us in the ATL but given the response so far, it looks like a small crowd. Next weekend works for me but doesn't look like it works for ATLValue. I live in Buckhead and if there are a handful of us coming from different directions, Sunday would work well as there will be much less traffic. Sticking with Sundays, it looks like the 14th could be a problem for me. I would suggest either wait until after the first of the year to set a date and/or pick a day now this month and if only 2-3 make it at least it's a start and then follow-up with a day in the new year. Best, AtlCDore PS--During the week is somewhat difficult with kids and their activities but can make it work if plan ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turar Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I can also join anytime between Jan 6th and 16th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vertek Posted December 2, 2014 Author Share Posted December 2, 2014 Looks like December is bad for everyone. I've posted a poll at the top of the thread where you can vote on which Sundays in January are best. Happy Holidays and look forward to meeting you all in January. - Vertek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vertek Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share Posted December 15, 2014 Let's give this poll another week or so, and then close it down and finalize a location. Looks like it should be a decent turn out - vertek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vertek Posted December 29, 2014 Author Share Posted December 29, 2014 Voting is closed! Here are the details for the meetup: Sunday January 11th 1PM - 3PM Joey D’s Oak Room 1015 Crown Pointe Pkwy Atlanta, GA 30338 Phone: (770) 512-7063 I think it would be most constructive if everyone came prepared to speak about their current attractive ideas. I look forward to meeting you all! - vertek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowlight Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Hi. I am a new member to CB&F and live here in Atlanta. If the invitation remains open I would like to attend on the 11th. I assumed that the invitation was open to any Atlanta member of CB&F but didn't want to show up without posting first. Thanks. -Wes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vertek Posted January 2, 2015 Author Share Posted January 2, 2015 Greetings and welcome! Yes the invitation is open to any Atlanta member. I'm anticipating 5-8 people, so it should be a good turnout. See you there! - vertek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vertek Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 Quick headsup, I'm planning on discussing Baupost-style thrift conversions. I've been looking at them recently, and they seem to offer a safe alternative for a Chicken Little like myself. - vertek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlCDore Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 My son has a basketball game later in the afternoon but I plan on stopping by for an hour or so. Thanks for putting this together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benbuffett Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Hi vertek et al, I just saw this, never paid attention to the meet up section. I might try and come by if it is open. This happens to be my birthday weekend so might be going out with family for dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vertek Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 Happy birthday and hopefully you can make it out. It's shaping out to be a respectable gathering. - vertek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
