No, probably not...but then you probably aren't a vegetarian. ;)

Well, in my mind, a Do is a get-together of shorter duration and scope than a Mega Do. :D

Very interested in attending this year as I missed last year due to a east coast snowstorm (got 1200 in DL vouchers though so was not so bad but I heard it was a great time in Austin :D) Want to talk Noelene into coming in from Australia.
Hey Noelene, you in? Would be a hoot between the Texan and Melbourne accents:D

There is a good chance I will be able to attend.

I got to somehow requalify for Qantas Platinum status and going to Austin to catch up with a few flyertalk friends sounds like a good idea.

QF does have the non-stop into DFW a couple of days a week now. :)

Excellent idea.

What is the delivery date to ANA of their first Boeing 787? ;)

Who says going direct to DFW will get me those miles that I need, when going via LAX and DFW gives me much better Qantas Status Credits and mileage.

I don't know and I think if you ask Boeing they don't know either. ;) Anyway I am going to Japan to try out the 787 this year, but then again you never know, I could combine both trips.

Ah, I do remember that now, although I did say September or October.

At least I got the important question right. :p

If its not Boeing I am not going, and I got a few of your other questions right as well.
