The First FTer I ever met was infoworks, before a SQ flight from SYD to SIN (he was, as usual, in F - I was slumming it in whY - he was most gracious in guesting me into the lounge in SYD) - then, in SIN the same day, I met up with KiwiFlyer, cgk and jjpb3.
The First DO I attended was OzFest 2012 - hard to give that a miss considering it was in Canberra. The second DO was the first ever Japan Do earlier this year.
I am yet to spot (or be spotted because of) the FT Luggage Tag though.
