Any fans in Atlanta, GA??

[dawnferra.livejournal.com]

I just recently moved to ATL , specifically the midtown area. I have talked to a bunch of people; however, there isn't anyone who even know the Japanese entertainment, except for manga/anime, let alone Arashi. I would really like to meet/hang out with some JE fans here as I am not able to flail about them as I used to. It is hard to do it alone...

So, any fans out there in Atlanta? What would be even better if there is someone on the GaTech campus as it seems that no one on campus knows about them or is just not confessing...

Hopefully this wasn't spam....

=( I live in Columbus, which is 90 miles away from Atlanta. But I'm up there a lot. I know I am going to be there for Dragon Con and JapanFest (I'm actually volunteering for that).

*raises hand* Techie here ^^ (a shy techie though...not good with meeting people...><) I didn't even know there was anyone else in GA...now I know there's another Atlanta fan and a Columbus fan haha

[dawnferra.livejournal.com]

*gasp* We should definitely meet up, shy or not!! Do you live on campus? What year are you?

[thatrous.livejournal.com]

I do live on campus. Eight Street. I'm a fourth year.

[dawnferra.livejournal.com]

Ah, this is definitely proof that I am a freshman.... Is that on East? I live in Woodruff.

[thatrous.livejournal.com]

Ah, Woodies. I may have to laugh at you a second since you live right next to eighth street. Following the One-way ESA is right across from the parking deck.

[dawnferra.livejournal.com]

Oops. I have actually passed that building a couple of times by now.

If you are interested to meet up, please let me know!

[grannypanny.livejournal.com]

I'm close, yet so far away! I'm in the Memphis area and was actually curious about fans here as well. I don't know anyone else who is into Arashi; however, it was only within the past six months that I accidentally discovered them.

Good luck with your search!

[dawnferra.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Hopefully you can find some too.

[charurei.livejournal.com]

geez I feel old :D student no more but an Arashi fan. I live within the city limits of Atlanta and go to work downtown.

[dawnferra.livejournal.com]

Thanks! It's just that all the fans are so hidden... No one seems to want to "come out."

[devanat.livejournal.com]

ah! I go to Georgia State University! ^____^ I didn;t know any arashi fans lived this close! XD

[dawnferra.livejournal.com]

You live literally across the street from Tech!! (only if I know what street (-.-))

I do think we should do something...

[devanat.livejournal.com]

yes! i agree! i do think we should do something! ^___^

[dawnferra.livejournal.com]

Do you have a facebook? If so, mind PM'ing me so I can add you? Maybe we can also meet up with chobitsyoyo as she goes to Georgia State too?

Ah, I am all excited now!!!

[devanat.livejournal.com]

AHH! i'm all excited as well! i shall PM you my facebook link! ^^

[devanat.livejournal.com]

oops..it wont let me pm you because of your privacy options apparently...you can PM me your facebook link and i can add you?

[mitsuchan.livejournal.com]

AWW, I grew up in the atlanta area and lived there for 20+ years! I know this is a completely useless reply to you, as I now live in california, but good luck finding local fans! ;_;

[dawnferra.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[jedinomiko.livejournal.com]

I live in Stone Mountain, which isn't too far out. Yay for more Arashi fans!

[dawnferra.livejournal.com]

Yay! That is indeed not that far.

I graduated from oglethorpe last year, but I don't live in atlanta anymore D:

[almondtea501.livejournal.com]

i live in Atlanta a few minute from downtown...hardly go downtown area anymore since i graduate from ga state.. great tip since you just moved to atlanta there is this japanese book store in Marietta that sells JE magazines and stuff there's also a grocery store (called Tomato) and a japanese restaurant in the same plaza. Exit 19 on I285 towards marietta diner

[thatrous.livejournal.com]

Wait...what?! Magazines and stuff? Marietta?! *makes a huge note of this*

[almondtea501.livejournal.com]

actually it's more smyrna (my bad) here's the address 2086 Cobb Pkwy.
Smyrna GA I think the book store is just called Japan Books (its mainly books, comic books, magazines and a small cafe inside) and the restaurant is Umezono...there's a sister restaurant and grocery store in Norcross called Sushi Yoko 7124 Peachtree Industrial Blvd.
Norcross GA but the magazines there are very limited no JE mags and it's more expensive

[thatrous.livejournal.com]

Either way, I didn't even know this region had anything of the sort haha
Thanks a lot for the address, and I may even have to check out that grocery store, I looked it up after seeing the post and it looks like people like it a lot.

[dawnferra.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the info. I will definitely check it out!

[falling-cookie.livejournal.com]

Ah! I love that place! I go there and buy JE mags and random food.

I cant send you a PM >"

[falling-cookie.livejournal.com]

This is amazing! I live in Atlanta (kind of outside it, in the metro area) but I don't know that maybe people who like Johnny's. I introduced all my friends to it so they're the only ones I have. :/ Right now though, I go to Georgia Southern down next to Savannah but I'll be up for AWA, if you were planning on going. I'd love to meet up!

[dawnferra.livejournal.com]

Ah, I am not going to the AWA. How long are you going to be there? We still could meet up after.

Sooo late...

[tomoeicemaiden.livejournal.com]

I know I'm commenting nearly after a year this entry has been posted, but I want to say that I've recently become a HUGE Arashi fan and I go to Georgia State too! If any of you are still around, we should totally meet up or something, because I'm tired of having to explain the awesomeness of Arashi to my non-fan friends >_<

Maybe I can meet some of you guys at GSU this coming fall semester???
Or we can meet at AWA 2010, either way I'd love to fangirl with other people for a change XD

Thank you and I hope to hear from some of you soon!
