ATLANTA LANDS "Tommorow World 2013" Q&A (Woodstock: how much, hotels)

[afonega1]

Tomorrowland 2013

This event was brought to my attention by one of my former German tenants who interned in Atlanta earlier this year.I had never heard of it ,but he seems to think its worth coming back to Atlanta if he can manage to get a hard to get ticket.Seems tickets sell out very quickly.

My question(or questions)are:
1)How big of an event just is this.I Googled it and it seems to be the largest electronic music event in the world.
2)Its sounds like its the modern day version of Woodstock.Its to be held in South Fulton County near Fairburn in Chattahoochee Hills.A very picturesque area of rolling hills and rural type farms.How much of an economic impact will occur?I suppose they will bus people to and from?Not many hotels.
3)Is this a good thing?Since its an international event,how much coverage in the media will it get?Should we expect this to be a good way to add to our rising international profile?
Just curious,If anybody has been to this or knows more about the particulars please elaborate.

it's a music festival. the bottle is a symbol, you know, like tossing a bottle into the ocean and finding it on a shore somewhere else. they tossed the bottle into the ocean and it landed in georgia.

About 150 thousand people, they will probably all be camping. I could ramble for a while on why this isn't like Woodstock, mainly lack of a political cause but also the importance of the performers. It is similar to Woodstock in that it is a huge festival that is really all about the money. I think this festival is a very good thing.

Also, this is something that people will probably come from quite a few countries to attend. I think it will be a great thing for Atlanta.
