Thanks so much to SFOJFK and kluau88 for keeping up with this thread and getting everyone info. I killed my palm pilot battery for more than 24 hours and lost everything -- even the software that let me grab this thread and respond to emails.

In any case, I had a wonderful trip (trip report forthcoming), including an SFOJFK special driving tour, kluau88 personalized Hard Rock Cafe shopping trip, and of course meeting those of you who were able to make it for dinner and drinks. My great regrets were two: one, that Rudi arrived just as I was leaving so that I literally only had time to say hello and two, that I forgot to take the camera out of my bag after my driving tour and so I didn't get photos of the FTers gathered! Markbach would never have made such a mistake and I hang my head in shame.

I vote for ClueByFour as the official FT comedian -- he has a definite second calling if he ever decides to quit his day job. ChanelCinq gets my vote as the official style maven for FT, though BingoSF's travel wardrobe is also much more stylish than mine.

School starts back up this week and yet I find myself tempted by trying to meet up with this crowd on 4/7 for the Rudi dim sum event. Ah well, maybe SEA. Great to meet some new faces and to see so many of those I met in Philly. Hope we cross paths again.

Meanwhile, anyone who ends up in CVG, let me know. It's a ways out of town, so I usually can't meet for short layovers, but would be happy to plan a dinner or whathaveyou if you'll be in this part of the world long enough to accommodate it.

(Edit for typos in a couple of names)
