Yes Rudi... the idea of a DO it all began with the PIP in HNL. WOW is it almost nine years already? That has brought back a lot of great memories.

Maybe the trick to DO organizing is if you don't have to have it on a holiday weekend is to throw out a few dates. The one with the most responses gets it. I think I did that with Catman Do 3 in 2001. I've seen others do it too.

The HOliday weekend timed Dos (London over Pres weekend/Cow Do over Labor Day etc) I guess can't be changed. Sad thing is I can't do ANY Holiday weekend FT events... the only Do's I"m attending have guests who have four paws and say "MEOW" and are in various locations in two states and five cities!

I can't change Soup Do because it's the "appetizer" to the Brooklyn reality Tour (although as I said I would host other Soup related events as a "let's salute" an FT-er... like the San Diego 1K's.)

(IMO.. Every FT-er should have something in their honor at least once in their lives.)

It seems that there's two to three FT events a week and several DOS a month (calling an event a DO using the Four Paws Up definition from skye1 and the earlier one from that Cat haired covered veteran FT-er... what's his name again? )

At this rate we may have a DO a day! YIKES!
