Someone may want to create a poll w/ 3 separate dates & people can then vote. The mods can help w/ the poll set-up once you've figured the 3 different weekends.

Cheers.

As an out of towner, a spring training game would be the thing that would be most appealing to me as something to do.

For those who don't like baseball, the other thing I really enjoyed in Phoenix relatively recently was the fairly new (opened last year) Museum of Music. I was actually there on opening day and, even though not all the exhibits were open yet, it took me pretty much all day.

Thanks Sharon, dates are being worked on, once that happens I'll let you know.

I'm not a huge fan of baseball but I've never caught a spring training game, so I'd like to. I do agree that spring training is a big draw for a Do.

Do you mean to state the Musical Instrument Museum? ( www.themim.org )

My parents went this past spring and couldn't stop raving about it. Said the Musical Instrument Museum is a must do. (no pun intended).

I live north off Carefree Hwy and I-17 so I'd be "in" if a DO was organized locally. Can't commit to organizing but I can commit to attending.

We might be neighbors.

It wasn't that hot as I walked from my office today down Mill Avenue in Tempe to lunch at Gordon Biersch...

For someone living their first summer in Arizona, it hasn't been that bad! Though the dust storms...:rolleyes:

Agree Spring Training might be the best time for a DO - even getting lawn seats out in the outfield somewhere would be a good time and good for conversation for those not interested in baseball (plus it helps that I live within walking distance to Scottsdale Stadium and have quite a few other complexes within a 15 minute drive of my condo).

Sounds like that you live near me, huh? Are you live in Desert Ridge or somewhere else?

Horse racing at Turf Paradise?

Also, for those who missed the Pima Air Museum and Davis-Monthan AFB boneyard tour in TUS this spring I would strongly recommend a day trip down to TUS; something not to be missed for aviation enthusiasts!

FlightNurse Aug 25, 2011 11:12 pm

Items to keep in mind..

BTW, love your elite status with those defuncted airlines.. So are you going to watch the TV Show Pan Am this fall?

OK folks I beleive its time to ramp up some interest in a PHX DO weekend. I was contacted by someone who is willing to do a MR seminar (basic 101) which I think is great. Baseball, food and MR seminar sounds like a plan.

So let hear from those who would step up to help plan this, I am not moving to Austin so I'll be staying here in PHX. I know I wont be able to plan this on my own, I could used some help..

Jaimito Cartero Dec 6, 2011 6:59 am

I'm expecting to be in town from late Feb to early Apr.

depending upon what date(s), I'd be up for a PHX Do.

N830MH Dec 6, 2011 11:39 am

Not sure if I will be there. If I get a schedule from my work. I am already accepted my new job at Albertsons. Probably, I iwll let you know if I can see you.

MRKEY Dec 8, 2011 9:32 pm

A Feb-March PHX DO will work for me.
