The first hosts in Atlanta have put events on the calendar. See what is on in Atlanta, then add yours: the calendar is short, and nothing you put up will be fighting for attention.
Free to host. About a minute of work.
Worth knowing before you pick a time and a place, because the metro is not one crowd.
A large refugee and East African community, much of it without a car. Anything on a MARTA line will outdraw somewhere nicer that is not.
Suburban, professional, family-heavy. Weekend daytime, and expect people to bring children whether or not you said they could.
Students and converts, younger on average, and the most likely crowd for something informal and repeating.
The first few events in a metro follow a pattern. These are the ones that fill.
Football on Saturday morning beats an open invitation to hang out. A fixed slot gives people permission to turn up alone.
Twelve people every fortnight builds a room. One large launch that never repeats builds nothing.
Sisters only, brothers only, families, students. The vaguer the audience, the fewer people feel invited.
Keep it going.
