this is almost too good to be true, but the lead came into us here via the suggestion box and i just had to check it out. yes, apparently our fair city is on the itinerary of stops for the whirlwind carl lewis 45th birthday bonanza. quoting from the invitation,

FRIDAY, JUNE 23 – ATLANTA
CENTENNIAL OLYMPIC PARK / 265 PARK AVENUE WEST / ATLANTA, GA
8:00 PM – 12:00 AM
“AN OLYMPIC OCCASION” RELIVE THE GLORY OF ATLANTA’S 1996 OLYMPICS, WHERE I MADE
HISTORY WITH MY 9TH AND FINAL GOLD MEDAL. THE ATTIRE IS WHITE AND GOLD TO HONOR THE
OLYMPIC GAMES.

i’ll spare the obvious jokes, most of them are there in the comments section of the deadspin post anyway, but somebody has GOT to don some white and gold, go crash this thing tonight and report back. i am out of town or i swear i would do it myself.
