DO's are fun, but I don't think you can single out "DO'S" as great FT events.

SOme of my favorite FT events have been smaller events, just a few people or meeting a Flyertalker one on one for dinner or a drink. Do's are fine but it's sometimes hard to talk to people or get to know them when there are 50 or more people around. At a smaller events everyone gets a chance to talk or contribute and be part of the experience.

Perhaps the best thing about DO's has been what BAMAT said... you make freinds and like her... I've met some Flyertalkers who have become good friends (and one my BEST Friend.)

Skye1: I like what you wrote:

No kidding! Nothing wierd-er than sitting down to some incredible food and incredible company...and the whole status/miles/points thing comes up. Probably inevitable at anything Flyertalk, but yeah, where is that yawning icon? I wonder if it's available as a "flashcard" to hold up when the conversation takes that turn.....

I'd like to offer to bring and blow my whistle I got during the Party in Paradise as my "gift" for my former alter ego as Commander Catcop (retired and helping me with bookeeping in my Cat sitting business.)

The miels and points are nice but I'd also like to hear other things like... what is Argentina like.
