In answer to your question Missy... YES! There are too many do's, gatherings, etc.

But that is what is happening as the Flyertalk community has exploded in ranks. Lots of people want to host gatherings. People want to meet other Flyertalkers, show off their city.

One of the questions for a Flyertalker now besides what airline to fly and what hotel to stay at is "which Do TO "do"?"

And a major point of clarification: THe Catman DOS were not ONLY one big dinner.Or even put together to drink large quantities of beverages THere were other events surrounding them and I left it open for people to explore NYC and do their own things.

The CMD3, 2001 included:

*Meet and greet at Idlewild bar, East Village.
*Dan Hammer's first Brooklyn Reality tour.
*Many smaller lunches and breakfasts and other stuff on Saturday.
*The Dinner at Cite (which I'm sorry that everyone didn't get a chance to meet everyone. It was a wonderful group.)
*Post Dinner Cigars and cognacs and black russians and other drinks at the 53rd Street Cigar Bar, Sheraton New York (the ONLY good thing about that hotel.)
*Small Sunday brunch at Sazarc House, West Village.

They were a chance for my FRIENDS to come and meet each other and meet the people I hang with and talk about.
