15. Burger King does not sell alcohol (okay, I knew that going in but apparently the other parties in the car didn't)
14. You can be a multi-published, big name author and still be a nice person
13. You can be an unpublished nobody and still be a snot
12. The fact that there are plenty of free books for everyone doesn't mean you won't get trampled as you head for the one book you don't have (apologies to all I may have hurt in my endeavors)
11. One can never have too many books
10. No amount of perfume will cover up the fact that you haven't bathed in four days
9. Not all perfume smells good
8. If the elevator doors open, regardless of the direction it's going, if it has room for you to get in, GET ON THE ELEVATOR
7. Pressing up against the elevator panel can result in your ass pressing the emergency button
6. Your ass pressing the emergency button will result in the elevator stopping, doors opening and an alarm to sound
5. Someone can attend ONE workshop and determine that the whole conference sucks
4. Everyone else can attend the same workshop and think it was the best workshop offered
3. You can learn a lot by hanging out in the bar (some would say this just applies to RWA Conferences but I may have to do some "research" before I reach a determination on that point ;o) )
2. One not used to wearing a cell phone on their hip can freak out the first time it vibrates, assuming they're dying (they'll later pay people to call them but that's another story)
And the number one thing I learned in Atlanta.....
1. Tiara or no tiara, Melissa Francis is one of the warmest, most genuine people you can hope to meet (even though she called me a bitch and told me she hated me...I know she really she loves me)

sniff. I love your #1.
except, did I call you a bitch? I think I called you a skinny bitch which is different. LOL Completely different.
And I don't think I said I hated you, I think I said that I couldn't talk to you anymore because you were too skinny. LOL
{{hugs}}that's a hug compliment, Lucy. Thank you.
Good list of Atlanta lessons.
I didn't call you a skinny bitch, but I thought it--does that count? LOL. Seriously--you looked GOOD, girlfriend (and not girlfriend in the Love-Off sort of way, since I'm already committed. LOL). :)
Great list! Of course I totally agree with #1, and #6 and 7 made me laugh out loud. Is there something you're not telling us?
Our bank of elevators rarely had more than two working at any given time so the two working elevators were always jam packed. And the alarm thing actually happened twice.
It was hilarious (after it was all over and we realized what was going on). The elevator got cram packed with people and the doors wouldn't close and the alarm started sounding. The "assumption" (and you know what they say when you assume) was that we were over the weight limit, so people started getting out. One by one. Yet the alarm continued to go off and the doors wouldn't close.
Finally a nice voice comes over the speaker asking "is everything okay in there?" That's when we realized what was going on so everyone that had left the elevator, piled back in.
And we all laughed, all the way up. ;o)
LOL! You know how the elevators were see through? And people could "see" you in the elevators from the ground floor going up? I tried very hard not to be the person who's gigantic butt was pressed against the glass!
OMG Maria that never even occurred to me! Oh well, guess lots of people got a gander at my backside because I always went to the back of the elevator. LOL
