Oz fest is in three weeks (May 27-29); if someone can bring Jr. over I can then provide transportation to the Prague Do for June 10-13 (unless someone wants his presence at the BRT on June 4).
I'm sadly missing the BRT this year.

Despite being in a middle seat in economy (at least it was a bulkhead) FT Junior survived FRA-SFO on the LH A380 and then SFO-JFK on a DL 752. He's now hanging out in NYC in my apartment and I'd be quite happy to pass him along to anyone in the NYC area to help get him over to OzFest.
He's had several, though I don't think I photographed him on any. Maybe this time...
Oh, and the DL SkyClub agents in SFO were quite enamored with him.

FT Junior certainly isn't where he expected to be. he is currently on my desk at home here in Spanish Harlem, NYC. He had quite the fun time drinking beers with sbm, Dan and FH. Quite the good times and he got his first MTA Bus ride as I am assuming sbm took the subway to the DO. He Will make a special appearance tomorrow at the BRT where some lucky soul shall receive him.

FT Junior completed his tour of Brooklyn (pics will be sure to follow). After going over the Prague confirmed list in detail, El_Chiflero decided there was no good way he could be handed off to anyone headed there. But since I'm headed to the Dubai Do, he's now in my hands. So unless someone has a creative way to squeeze Prague in, his next travels will be:
Trip down to Austin tonight 6/5.
Some downtime in Austin, but we'll try to get him some BBQ.
Istanbul in TK F on 6/18
Frankfurt for a day 6/22 (incl FCT visit)
Dubai in LH F on 6/23
Need ideas for a handoff in/after Dubai...

I know there are others with more pics, but here are the ones I happened to have from BRT11:

About to enjoy a movie and beverage (he's definitely developing a taste for rum):

On 6/9 (BBQ Thursday according to Penalty Box tradition), Mackieman, Starwood Lurker and I took FT Junior to one of the best BBQ places in Austin...
Lunch at Franklin Barbecue. The brisket will blow your mind.

Wow. He has been all over the place! I need FT junior back for fitting for a few days. We are changing our trophy vendor and if someone could get him back from Dubai by end of July, it would be great.
I've got about 20 flights domestic US in July, but I'm based in Chicago.
Thank you.
