Event is currently full with a waitlist started. If you would like to go and are willing to pay within 48 hours of notification of potential opening of more spots, please post in this thread and I will add you to the waitlist. If we get enough people on the waitlist, we will consider moving to a larger room.

I am a little slow in finding this thread, so please add me to the confirmed list!
I will be at the Westin Galleria for a convention that ends that Saturday morning and would love to be able to attend. Been to like 4 or 5 of these IAH mini-do's and I wouldn't want to miss it!!!

You talked about the waitlist and possibly getting a new room - how many additional people need to sign-up before you move to a bigger room? Is there even a bigger room available? Or am I just waiting for someone else to drop-out that is already confirmed?
I am just trying to gauge my chances of attending...

Here with the same set of questions as theblakefish and maybe with the thought that the two of us could possibly push it over the top to make the group sized properly for a larger room.
If the larger room is arranged, we would like to be there but I need probably four or five days advance notice since I do have something in Houston that would need to be set up for either before or after the Mini-DO.

The above post was relatively so pessimistic about clearing of the waitlist so we are withdrawing our names, especially since a very good fare came up to a business destination that we needed to visit sometime this month. Our Houston stuff will wait a month or two.
Thank you for the work on this thing JC1120 and I guess that I will just need to be a bit more on my toes to keep an eye out for the next one before it fills.

FFG is pleased to announce that the next official Mini-DO / FFG Charity Event will be held on Feb 23 in Houston! For those of you unfamiliar with these events, a mini-DO is a gathering of FT/MP members. UA representatives may be present but is not guaranteed. FFG will work to have some interesting items available for auction, benefiting United WeCare, an employee charity.
Jasper's (9595 Six Pines Dr, The Woodlands, TX 77380)
11:30am to 2:00pm on Saturday Feb 23
$50 prepaid (http://www.ffgiving.org/events/iah-feb-2013.php)
What you'll get:
Appetizers for the table
3 course menu, with your choice of appetizer (2 options), entree (3 options), and dessert (2 options)
Access to the Charity Auction
For those of you that have never heard of Jasper's, the executive chef is Kent Rathbun, who's cooked for George W. Bush (Inaugural Ball), Jacques Pepin, Queen Elizabeth, and Oprah Winfrey. The Woodlands is a planned community about 30 min north of downtown Houston, and is fairly close to IAH airport.

See everyone Saturday!
By the way, there's one open spot. COFreqFlyer (MP) has first dibs, but if he can't make it, it might be your lucky day.

Love to try to join at some point on a future date. I am flying out at 11:43 that morning from IAH. Hard to be 2 places at the same time.
But I will look out for the next one.
