Nice to see everyone again.

Thanks to @24left for the various kits, and Dorian-esque party gifts. oh and the Fairmont hotel coffee. oh and the grand tour of your suite. Also thanks for the AC TPAC slippers that I helped give away... hopefully others had use for them.
@songsc we will catch up soon. And I'll have more mid-2000s menus. Thanks for the TK menus!
@SteadyAT it was nice meeting you and we look forward to your post when you cross the 1MM mark on January 11.

Sounds good. Beats my night which involved a fire truck and three paramedics.

Should AC read this. Please see 24lefts picture for what you should aspire to in MLLs.

Loved the venue reserved signage!

If it’s within YYZ region I’ll be there!

Might be a few IRROPs issues in mid March though.

Omg! You guys partied into the night?!? When I posted my Thank You, I was already home from my second “do” (the reason I had to leave early). That’s it - i will make sure my entire night is free for the next do!

If you could DO this on Friday March 22nd or Saturday March 23 I'll be there (will be in the GKA on those dates due to me being inthe Americas for a conference in mid March).

Safe Travels,

James

Adding my thanks for the pint, diddy, sorry I couldn't stay longer and join everyone in that interesting array of stuffed meat! And to 24Left for her gift bag. Was nice to catch up with a few others since the last Do across the way at the Chicken Have safe travels through the upcoming year, may your rear ends not scrape the runway!.

Absolutely !!!!! Much thanks to @diddy for all and especially the entertainment portion of the show when you returned.

Also, I am hardly Dorian-esque. There is only one @Dorian and I was inspired by his gifts at various Do's. Thus, also thanks to @Lights_a_blur in YYJ and @jasdou, @DNAwizard, @Yhztraveller and @NordsFan in YQB for all you did to help us have great gifts and great Do's.

@The Lev and @diddy
Thanks so much for the drinks. Wine was actually really nice and perfect with my salad, plain fries and chipotle mayo - some of which @yyznomad shared.

And we look forward to seeing you again soon at another Do and perhaps helping you celebrate your MM.

Finally, it was great to see familiar faces, meet some new ones and have an interesting venue and food.

Looking forward to seeing you all again and safe travels and Happy Holidays to all.


And remember to look out your window when you fly.
