The Great Delta Board PBI-FLL Meet was not only the first organized gathering of FlyerTalk members that I have attended, but it was also the first FlyerTalk event for virtually all of the other FlyerTalk members who attended as well.

Due to our warped sense of excessive humor, a second thread pertaining to the event was necessary: PBI-FLL Meet: The Serious Version.

It is amazing how well we got along even though none of us had met each other. Of course, now that we have all met...

I did not know that!

Who Will Be The Next FlyerTalk Member To Post? An OMNI Game LIVE and In Person:LJU DO

You do (no pun intended — ah, all right, it was intended) realize that the idea came from the Who Will Be The Next FlyerTalk Member To Post? An OMNI Game LIVE and In Person:ELP DO while we were in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico when chrissxb asked me where the next Who Will Be The Next FlyerTalk Member To Post? An OMNI Game LIVE and In Person FlyerTalk member gathering will take place.

I simply shrugged my shoulders and said the first thing that came to my mind: “Slovenia?”

The rest is history.

We really need to resume the Who Will Be The Next FlyerTalk Member To Post? An OMNI Game LIVE and In Person series of FlyerTalk member gatherings...

That is amazing when you think about it, isn’t it?!?

By the way, I keep a list of all of the FlyerTalk members I have ever met in person in the A List of FlyerTalk Members You Have Already Met in Person thread.
