I will probably be there. :)

Any recommendations for a good hotel?

Well, I don't know too mush about Atlanta hotels (since I live near Atlanta) but I'll try my best to help.

Basically, if you're willing to spend a lot of money, any hotel near the venue will be good (though it looks like a lot of them are fully booked for that weekend).

If you need somewhere cheaper, I'd recommend looking for somewhere near a MARTA station, so you can ride the train to the competition (and then, I assume, to the airport).
 
Meh goals before the competition:
I want a PB before the comp in every event I'm competing in. sub-20 on 3x3, sub-2.25 on 2x2, sub 2:15 on 4x4, sub-6 on 5x5, another sub-5 in Mega, sub-2.5 in Pyra, sub-8 in 6x6, sub-1:30 in OH, sub-20 in Clock, and sub-45 in SQ1. I also want to average sub-35 in 3x3, and scrounge up enough money for a good 5x5. (My only 5x5 is Rubik's Brand lol)
 
I've never been to a cubing competition before but since this is right in town for me... A couple questions though.

1. Is there any entry fee for spectators? (I assume not but always good to check)
2. Will there be vendors there selling cubes, lube, etc...? (it would be great to be able to try different cubes rather than buying blind)
3. How long would you expect the event to last?

Thanks!

1) Free
2) Not at this time (that I'm aware of), but that doesn't mean that won't change. Generally, people trade/sell puzzles at most competitions, so if you're really looking for a puzzle, I'm sure you can find one if you ask around.
3) The schedule page exists for a reason ;)

There is actually a chance the Cubicle will be there.

Just an update: 3x3 single: Check. 2x2 single: Yep. 4x4 single: sub-2! 5x5 single: I did it twice. Mega sing.: Sub-5? I've got sub-4. Pyra S.: Sort of? 6x6 S.: 7:13. OH S.: Almost sub-1. Clock S.: Pffft. 13.03. SQ1 S.: lol sub-40. 3x3 avg: Lol I have a completely sub-30 ao5. And I just ordered the SS 5x5. I know this isn't the Accomplishment thread, I just thought I'd update.
 
I can't wait for this competition! My average went down over 10 seconds since Peach State, and it's gonna be fun.
