Thanks to @YYC3722 and @expert7700 for putting this together. Great to see everyone and meet a few new faces.
I'm not sure exactly what funky math was done last night on the bill, but I feel like YYC3722 may have picked up more than his fair share; if so, thanks for your generosity.
Hope the Hoover Dam thing works out for you guys today. Mrs. Smith and I are in the Centurion lounge. Still hoping some hung-over person no-shows so her upgrade will clear. I've explained YBYL to her. We shall see!

@YYC3722 and @expert7700 many thanks for putting this together, had a great time with everyone, as usual! And that dinner - delicious!!!!
As per the usual FT-style shenanigans at 4am I managed to get my 6am flight changed to a more reasonable 8pm departure. Thanks to those who "assisted" in that.
