hotlanta

p.s. i'm not sure why these people are doing flips in the atlanta airport...

i’m going to atlanta this weekend for work. i’ve never been to atlanta except for the airport twice…i almost missed my flight both times…have you ever had your name announced over the loud speaker of an airport? yeah, mine was announced both times in atlanta. i’m like a local celebrity there now – i can only imagine the red carpet they’ll roll out for me as i get off my plane with whispers from the crowd “hey, it’s chelsea walker. i wonder if she’ll actually make her flight this time .”

i’m pretty excited to visit atlanta though. i’ve only heard good things about it. granted, the only things i’ve heard about it are from a friend who moved there during high school and immediately kissed the girl in the shawn mullins music video. i guess that would give anyone good things to say about a place.

one of my only memories involving atlanta is when a coworker was going there for business and everybody kept saying “have fun in hotlanta...” or “off to hotlanta, huh?” i didn’t get it – don’t they know it’s pronounced atlanta? i didn’t correct them though – after all, i was only an assistant. but now, every time somebody says atlanta i think, “don’t you mean hotlanta?” …and research shows that they probably do. turns out hotlanta is actually real and it looks way more fun than atlanta. i bet that’s where the shawn mullins video girl lives.
