We did attend last night and it was interesting, but not really noteworthy. I’d estimate 60-70 people, with everyone I met a 1K 1 MM or greater status. A handful of small sit down tables, probably 10 stand ups and a few chairs.
United Mileage Plus people here there, probably around 6 - 8. There were some mid event welcome announcements but they were brief and contained no real message except thank you for your loyalty.
Two bars setups, one being for Kraft Coctails and the other beer, wine and liquor. The food was mainly a variety of hours d’oeuvres and meat carving stations and some breads. No salads or cheese offerings. The food was tasty and plentiful.
After about 2.5 hours and collected our Charcuterie Board branded with Mileage Plus Logo and left full and a bit tipsy. There was a good showing from the 1K Facebook page but didn’t meet any FT’ers.
The purpose of the gathering was simply a Thank You for your business and Loyalty

So, when I told Mrs DEN that I didn’t sign up to go, she frowned at me and said “You’re passing up free
hors d'oeuvres and booze because you got your feelings hurt? “. I reminded her that it would probably cost $70 to Uber, her reply was then we need to drink and eat a lot…. This is why she is my keeper wife….
So signed up that same evening up and we will likely be there. If there is anything interesting to report or photo-worthy, I’ll post it.
