My first FT event wasn’t as much of a DO as a co-ordinated mileage run to SIN where we met up with several FTers including Transpac, 1K in Seattle, and Da1dan who were also in town. My MR partner Dogstar and I had never met face to face until we shared a ride to the airport and Dogstar became a very good friend over the years.

My first official FT DO function was the Feb 03 London DO where I met SkiAdcock, SweetWillie, Techgirl, Wingnut and others for the first time.

I’ve met countless FTers at lunches and dinners over the years, including dhammer53 who was kind enough to drive me around Manhattan after lunch on my first ever trip to NYC.

After a several year hiatus from attending DOs, I recently attended the DC DO where I renewed a few friendships and started may more.

Join us for a DO: the upside is they're very enjoyable, the downside is they can be addictive.
