Really going to try!
Already have my March flying schedule and I'm off, now it just depends on my kids schedules.
GW

I'll be out of the country.

I will be looking forward to seeing every one again & meeting lots of new folks from the Clt area.

For those out side of here, time to burn some miles & enjoy some good bbq & fun.

Ooo! Tempting! I think by now some of the FFOCUS members don't hate me anymore (or hate as much) since it's been a few years and I have definitely cooled off myself.

Any chance I would be welcome to attend? March 13 would work perfectly as that is the 1st day of my spring break. Would be a heck of a way to start Spring Break. I would be in for a good time/ a nice treat.

King,

Everybody is welcome! :)

I will be a maybe--not sure of my schedule that far out...but we'll try.

I'm booked for SFO that weekend *sigh*. Another time..... I do have luck connecting with coachrowsey for coffee while in CLT :)

That's my spring break as well as my long distance boyfriend's and my 13th anniversary week, so we'll be on vacation somewhere that week. As the list says, maybe next time.

If I'm in town, I would like to attend.

I just ran it by a certain gnomy Wendy's employee (only a certain few will know what I'm talking about), and the response was Okie Dokie, so Maybe her as well. :D

Also, the FFOCUS motto is no US Managment, but I can run it by a few other folks and maybe have them join the party. Yay or Nay would be the general consensus?

-Kinglobjaw

Everybody is welcome, whether they work for US.......or for Wendy's. ;)

Maybe
 

Put me down as Maybe - leaning to Yes. unless my travel obligations prevents I will be there!

It appears that some can't make this particular weekend--is the FOLLOWING weekend good for anyone?

The following weekend I'll be in MAD and I think Deb already bought her ticket. I'm always up for another BBQ at a later date but the following weekend would be a "no go" for me.

I'm right there with uva185. The following weekend would be a big no. Not a chance!

Edited to add: I'm very close to buying a ticket so I need to know if I will be heading to CLT or just to ORD for break.

-Kinglobjaw

a big maybe
 

i will be there as long as i am in town - it's only about 5 miles from the house

I'll be there.

Its on for the original date.

Will be ticketing soon. No last minute changes planned, correct?

-Kinglobjaw

It's a go as planned.

Excellent! Just ticketed. I come in on the red-eye from Denver! A very early arrival at 5:59AM.

I'm so excited. It's my first DO. Will be heaps of fun!

-Kinglobjaw

Exactly one month from today. Bumping up as a reminder. The more the merrier.

-Kinglobjaw

We're about a week away. We're probably going to want to get a final headcount by about Wednesday, March 10, so we can warn the restaurant. :D

Yep! I am code-sharing with you hehe.

-Kinglobjaw

I have a conflict of interest cropped up so me and my wife can't make this one. Sorry! Wish I could meet some of you! Next time!

I'm sorry to learn of this, but next time.

To everyone else. If you are from out of town, lets burn some miles & come on down.

Ok folks this is getting close. So one bump hoping more can join us for a fun evening.

Moved to Community buzz.

don't know how in the world I missed a BBQ Do thread:eek:

Can't make it as Mrs Sweet Willie already has plans for me.

Smokey Bones the chain? Carolinas are filled with good BBQ joints.

Have fun !!!

Burn some miles & bring Mrs with you. Then you have plans for her:)

If the reservation list is still open, please put SeoulMan down.

Thanks.

Done!

We're leaving the list open until about 5:30PM on Saturday, but the more advance warning we give the restaurant, the better the chances that they will be able to accommodate us.

ha ha, unfortunately plans for me trumps plans for her, the whole happy wife happy life thing.

If you would be so kind to add my bride to the list.. THX jw

The attendee list has been updated through Post #35. I may not have a chance to get back onto Flyertalk to check for any updates, but coachrowsey will be monitoring this thread up until about an hour beforehand, and will make sure any last-minute attendees get included in the head count.

For those attending they are not taking advance reservations. I was advised to call 30 min. prior which I will do.

If any one else can make meke it( and I hope you can) please post in this thread & while I can't update the op I will add you to my "old fashion" list when I call in the numbers.

Well lo and behold, I'm in CLT! Count me in! :D

Got you:D

Had an awesome time. Was a pleasure meeting you all. Definitely count me in for future events. ;)

Here's the pic we snapped, for those who are not (or not yet) on my Facebook:
