Sounds great but unfortunately won't be able to make it.
I updated the wiki but I may have f'ed it up as despite just adding my name and clicking save clicking on click here to display full wiki just moves my browser up to top of the page.
Have fun everyone!

Is the 18th a done deal?
I can make that as I'll be in Richmond for volleyball provincials. An FT do will be a nice break away from screaming 17 & 18 yo girls.
Ken Hamer to bring some civility.

Just saw the thread - sounds epic 
Never attended a DO so i am unsure of what to expect. I regret skipping the YUL one (last year i guess) mainly because of the uncertainty of "how I will fit in with all these FT legends" lol.
Having said that, I might F'ing Fly in as its a good way to burn some miles before AE goes revenue redemptions. As canadiancow stated - hotel prices are a bit high and i miss 'corp code' days.
As of now 'Flying standby' but I am kinda sure I will move to the 'I'm Totally F'ing in' the moment i figure out hotel logistics.
Edit : Can someone edit the wiki for me pls, my current handle doesn't fit the eligibility criteria for wiki mods

I had a look before the date was set, and prices looked a little high for most of the proposed dates, i.e. this particular weekend didn't seem significantly different at the time.
About f'ing time!
F'ing epic
We're mostly a pretty nice bunch, so you should expect to have a good time and meet some interesting people
Done

did you not see my post about stayvancouverhotels.com? for the 18th, the sheraton wall center is $224 + tax - $100 visa prepaid. that's not bad for vancouver. this is the third year that i take advantage of this offer.
i reserved a marriott for february and the stay will count for status and get points. i don't know if this is the same for other chains but i have been told that it is.

Will be a good option as I already have Marriott status; let me see if there are other properties
Edit : for non Marriott folks - the shangri la is a steal deal with 125 gift card on the same date
Thank you
