[ale] LUG at GT Meeting - 2010.10.06 - Video Encoding

[Greg Clifton]

Rich,
Actually, I have been to a couple of the meetings and the public lot is less
than a block from the meeting building. There are always plenty of empty
spaces that time of evening. The only suckey thing is that you have to pay
in advance and some of the meetings have been rather short (I once got there
a bit late, paid for 2 hrs. of parking and the meeting was over w/in 30 min
of my arrival). Getting to the parking is easy too, take the 17th St. exit
and keep left to West bound 10th st., turn R,  go down ~ 4 blocks, hang a L,
go ~ 2 blocks and turn L into the parking lot. Pay yo money and/or take ur
chances ;-), go up and over the hill to the Klaus bldg. Admittedly not as
convenient as turning into the 'do not enter' entrance to Emory Law lot, but
not really a show stopper if you are really interested in the topic.
