Sweet Willie hosted my one and only mini-DO so far. I was nervous, hubby declined to go as he absolutely does not 'get it'. I arrived at the restaurant, and the hostess gestured forward saying that some in my party were here. I didn't panic, but explained that I had no idea what anyone looked like.... which of course elicited a strange look.
We had a fabulous time! I stayed far later than I had planned, chatted with people who spoke FT, and am very eager for the next one!
Enjoy your DO.
