Gah! I'm absolutely blanking on which Do was my first. The first FTer I ever met is easy enough to recall, though: PremEx at one of ORD RCC's in July or August of '98. I's all big old blur after that.

The original DUS Do or one of the Catman DOs would've been my first big par-tay, but I suspect a smaller get-together in SEA or TPA prior was the actual first Do.

Comin' up on 12 years of FT friendships just boggles the mind.
