CPC Atlanta 2005

Capping off the conference season, Steve flew down south to Atlanta, GA, hoping to experience some Southern hospitality. What he got instead was more reasons to hate the airline industry. Think Norton AntiVirus has nothing to do with children's pastors' conferences? Think again!

Coca-Cola
 

 
CPC Atlanta 2005
   
  Part 1: Headin' out
The final flight to a CPC event. This time around, Steve takes Delta out of the most delayed airport in the country. Does this really change anything? Nope.
   
  Part 2: Is Delta any better?
Steve travels with Karl and Ron, while exposing them to the beneficial merits of watching The Amazing Race. Arrival in Atlanta is uneventful for a change.
   
  Part 3: Rain
You know the big drawback about rain? It's wet. That's quite a downer, to say the least. Not to mention that every CPC event has had rain at some point so far.
   
  Part 4: Getting halfway there is all the fun!
TSA thinks that Steve is hauling "explosive battery devices" through the airport. Well, if you consider a book about Michael Eisner as fuel, yeah, they might be right.
   
  Part 5: More than a vaccuum
After riding (and smelling) the MATRA train system in Atlanta, Steve discovers why Chicago doesn't carpet their L cars! Having something you can hose out is good!
   
  Part 6: Oh, how I love Chic-Fil-A
The "Fazoli's Exemption" is implemented for the first time on this trip, allowing for a pleasant lunch of Chic-Fil-A. Oh, and Eisner is just plain evil.
   
  Part 7: Too close for comfort
The good folks at LifeWay make the CPC eZone possible, which is always appreciated. Oh, and the Exhibit Hall is a little on the tight side. Are You My Neighbor? or what?
   
  Part 8: What if I want a Pepsi?
In case you haven't heard, Coke pretty much owns Atlanta. You'll find their stuff everywhere, including Underground Atlanta, a mall that really is a hole in the ground.
   
  Part 9: Funky Elevators
Hyatt's multi-million dollar renovation pretty much boils down to more expensive blueberry muffins in the cafe. Plus, Steve runs into 2 children's music "legends".
   
  Part 10: "Your Virus Definitions are Out-of-Date"
When connecting multiple computers to the Internet, make sure you have the trifecta of security installed: anti-virus, spyware removal, and a firewall. Otherwise...
   
  Part 11: Caption This!
Ron throwing up on an attendee... or maybe there was a toilet explosion? You really can't figure out what these crazy children's pastors are up to during conferences!
   
  Part 12: Wow
Balloons, meet Ron. Ron, meet balloons. You may need a driver's license to experience these inflated air renditions of a motorcycle and open-wheel race car.
   
  Part 13: Black People
Headshots, headshots, who doesn't love headshots. All of these people are wearing black shirts. What does that mean? Are they in some secret club?
   
  Part 14: Bad Photoshopping
There is such a thing as creative marketing. There is such a thing as meeting market demand. But Big Idea-themed playground equipment? I'm sorry, no thanks.
   
  Part 15: I know Matt!
Moonlight Madness drives attendees to do crazy things. Also, how do you respond to someone saying, "Do you know Matt Kiser?" (Steve knows Matt and he's nifty!)
   
  Part 16: 900+ times
"The counselors are cool, they aren't like old boring people... And you can get Coke for breakfast and as many refills as you want and you can use the grown-up cup!"
   
  Part 17: It's just like The Amazing Race!
Steve tries to get out of Atlanta, but Atlanta refuses to let him go by canceling his flight. But hey, what's a few more hours in the airport, right?
   
  Part 18: Die Delta, Die!
"We left the gate, creating the impression that we left on-schedule. Then we sat on the runway for 1.5 hours. Delta, go bankrupt please. You suck."
