Keller's...go during the day, if you're new to town. Neighborhood's a little rough for tourists, at night ;)
I'll post other recommended restaurants as we get closer. Celebration comes to mind.

Thanks Mickey Finn. Don't forget Dave & Buster's which is an adult Chuck E. Cheese with Bar, Restaurant, and large pool and gaming and arcade area.

True, D&B food is similar to TGI Fridays rather than Chucky's in price and quality. Decent but not great.

There is a great vegetarian Indian buffet at Beltline and Coit by the Whole Foods. However I just woke up and can't remember what it's called. There's also a Jason's Deli there in that same shopping center which is my absolute favorite place to go for a quick cheap lunch. Baked potato topped with bbq, cheese and sour cream? yes please! and at Beltline and the tollway there's Freebird Burrito which should not be missed if you've never eaten there before.
Those of you for whom this is your first convention saying "the main thing is just to meet the authors" ha ha ha! You are in for a heck of a weekend my friends. There is SO much fun to be had and friends waiting to be made. Generally I don't like to leave the hotel during a con (like little kids don't like to go to sleep --for fear they'll miss something), but I may be forced to run home and walk and feed my dog a couple of times during this one. :(
filk music: filk is sci fi folk music. It CAN be for funny, yes, but isn't necessarily. There's some heart rendingly beautiful filk music out there. Most filkers take their music pretty seriously (and some make their living from it.) I get irritated that it gets described so often as just parodies of familiar tunes. come to the filk at the con and check it out yourself. We had a heck of a sing at Fencon this year with some amazing talent.
