The Communitybuzz Lounge Thread
 

And on the 7th day, El_Chiflero said, Let there be a lounge thread where 1K',s CO Plats, AA EXP's and yes even DL DM's may come together and talk all the nonsense they want without fear of reprimand (I will make fun of you though)).

Now go forth my FT'ers and enjoy yourselves!!

All hail El_Chiflero!

Thank you for opening our wonderful new lounge, the colour is perfect and I love the seats!^

May our new forum be blessed with frivolity and kinship, just as we once shared in the "Come Fly To Me" forum.

And for anyone new or lurking out there, I say Welcome! and go to the last page to join in the fun!

Happy Jet Trails to All.

Thank you for creating our new lounge! Must better to have it here, than in OMNI!

Back to our regularly schedule programming:


Pre-BBQ Dinner poast :)

Howdy, FriendlySkies!

That was some fine looking grub you got at HNL. Got any left? ;)

Our awesome locals did end up taking a good amount of food home. :)

Now you've gotten me hungry :D Karung99 does it when he talks about lox ;), and now thinking about the food from HNL (Kalua Pork, Ahi Tuna Sashimi!, etc) mmmmmmmm :)

Do you think you might be able to get this linked at the end of CFTM thread?

I voted for Cholula, if that will have any sway:D

We are going to OGG tomorrow until xmas day. In first, thanks to an FT'ers gift of UG certs! ^

Hoping to catch food with LIH Prem once or twice while there.

Where are you up to next?

If PWP were still around i would not have missed the AMEX 50% off hotel deal. Would have gone well together with the Expedia Deal

I'm so happy we've got this thread open! :)

I'll be going to MCO next Friday, returning home to DEN the following Tuesday, making several stays at the Hyatt Regency and Grand Hyatt in Denver, spending time with the family, getting some lox :D, and then planning more trips for next year. I'm hoping to start the year off with a bang to get 1K closer to the beginning of the year. Also going to plan another HNL trip with Karung99 and his much better half :cool:

Don't forget MVPG75K on Alaska :p Although listing top tiers only make it against FT TOS :D

I have to ask, what is/was PWP?

and Summit on F9.. :cool:

DL DM (even) trying to check in on page 1. I hope the 1Ks and EXPs will let me play with them here.

Lox rocks!

Not completely sure but thats the word everyone uses during the recent posting contests. My guess is Post With Purpose?

Good job, El_Chiflero, Secretary of Party and Alcohol for Her Magnificentness! ^

Even though I am not on your "VIPs" list, you simply can't start a party without this indispensable cabinet member! :D

HelloooO, everyone!

Hello CDking and MSPeconomist! Glad you could join us. We were just discussing what a great job El_Chiflero was doing, and wondering how we might thank them.

Well, we should have been, anyway...:o

My faulted, I didn't post the Amex 50% much earlier.

Thanks OP for opening up this thread :)

Anyone get in on the Free Laptops from Google thing? They are sending out 60K of them as part of the beta test for the new Google Chrome operating system. They already sent a bunch out but i didnt enter my application until today* Hope its not too late

Greetings Lin821! Nice to have you here on page one where all the cool kids hang out!

Helloooooo, hope you could join us in SFO on Jan 30

do you have the link?

Has anybody here ever stayed @ the Sheraton in KOA?

First I have heard of it, but I am planning and packing, not really paying too much attention... My loss!

Hellooooooo, Mr. Mayor (emeritus)!

I had not heard about it, but I've already got two laptops, so I don't think I would need a third.. (unless it was a mac book air..)

I will be in KOA during Christmas time, can't get any rental car for that time, will be walking lots

Glad you are going to be in Maui this week :)

I will find it out on Christmas day, and will report back to you

You can burn off the lox :p

I forgot that you will be there for Christmas. Hopefully it's worth the $140 I payed.. AMEX wanted WAY too many points for a free night :mad:

It wasn't mentioned on FT i found it on android forums: heres the link about it from PCmag.com

Heres the link from google

http://www.google.com/chromeos/

4K Spg+$60 is this better than $140?

TY! Hope you get a car, but walking is easy in Kailua-kona, except on aa.

Go to Splashersand ask Indie if you can borrow the "Burger Buggy"- a '74 VW Thing, now festooned in advertising for their great little restaurant/bar.

Earn miles at Bongo Bens- pretty good food. Rougher crowd upstairs at Lu Lu's, also a mile-earner.

Hunt down Lavaman7 and get a tour of his plantation http://itskona.com

It's a fun island, so enjoy!

It is, but since 850 (going back up to 1000) AMEX points = 333 SPG points, it's a better deal to just pay cash for the room. Plus I'll earn some credit towards my SPG gold (soon Platinum) account..

I like c&p, but am using straight points at Four Points SFO for Minion DO if I make it- I did make resv tho

Thank you.

How many points for that, HR SFO is excellent price if not mistaken is $80

Hello again!

Well, I do hope I can make it. I am running into some "technical" difficulties, timeline-wise. I won't have my new special edition passport until early January. And there's a thingy about my non-VWP visa. On top of that, Chinese New Year is right around the corner, so it may be challenging to do TPE-SFO. Most likey it'll be too late to book the tix when I can nail down my schedule.

I really don't know if I can make it. I really really want to go. :( (with tears in my eyes)

How I wish I were still in Austin so I could've made it to SFO with a snap of a finger.

I'm glad i went looking for the link again because i learned that its not too late to apply. Last date for applications is the 21st

This is a great tips... I love Kona coffee so this is perfect.

Friendly Sky are coming for Jan 08 trip to KOA :)

3k

Hmmm... I will work on those dates. that might be a heckuva lot of fun!

I remember back in the days where website addresses were not case sensitive

We can have a Chinese NY DO in SF China Town too. :D

Fun is my middle name, just asked Pat and FS :)

Have fun all, going to see Nutcracker tonight.

It would be great to meet you!

I'm also going to figure out the dates soon, but anybody is welcome to come to Kansas in January or February for a BBQ Do... I know that there is one in May, but this will be different.

That should be fun! A friend and I are going to go get some Pulled Pork for dinner :)

However, it is 19 degrees in Lawrence.. brrr...

Who was this to/for?

Time to head to Sgt. Preston's for a little warmer-upper!
