Ditto all of the above! Great to meet new friends and see old ones. :cool:

Heaps of fun last night! Was great to meet people and put names with faces. I loved it and learned a lot.

If anyone wants to meet up, I'm north of BOS. If anyone wants to talk about GCs and MOs, just shoot me a message.

Below is a scan of the bar receipt. I collected much of the cash from most everyone but it seemed I came up a bit short. I'm not complaining and we all had many a brew in us, but if anyone, when looking at this, realizes they neglected to put in $, just lemme know and I'll grab it from ya later as I paid this bill on a AMEX GC. And if not then not. Maybe I was just drunk. Now I gotsta go run it off ---arrhghgg

But who cares, cuz it was worth every mile! :D

Thanks PawTim for setting it up!

Thank you pawtim and MM to set this up. It was my first DO and I enjoyed meeting up all :-)

Well, at least you know I did not contribute to that bar receipt!

I hope that you get paid by those who did not pay you.

Thank you, Marathon Man. It was a pleasure to meet you and a few of the other FlyerTalk members who I met last night for the first time.

and you as well!

We shall meet again and also chat much about GCs and other things... :)


I enjoyed meeting people for the first time too and the best part about a FT DO is the fact that you are all in a place where you can actually speak freely about your passion! I mean, everyone there knows of travel and miles and hotel gigs! How LIBERATING indeed!

But now wait a sec there mate... there IS a small fee for being there, you know! Yes, you have to pay the DO OP PawTim 1 mile in the airline of his choice! :D:D:D:D:D:D

Actually, I'd prefer one SPG point, since they're worth more! :D I ended up paying in cash that night -- and paper money to boot! (Of course, I'd just sold some coins to get the paper money!)

Great meeting you all, fun times!

For the record to all FTers out there, Marathon Man is a RIOT!!! :cool:

And about eightblack, just when you thought reading what he wrote in trip reports was funny, I'd say you have to meet this guy in person ^!

Wow, MM, you're a lot nicer than I am. ;)

Guys, if you had food, drinks, etc. and didn't kick in, please do so. Otherwise, it will make it a lot more difficult to get big Dos in Boston. I don't think anyone wants to have to start handing out bills to people as they leave.

Thanks to all who helped organize this and put it together! It was really nice having a place to go after arriving in the city, and meeting some local Flyertalkers at the same time. It was also nice to see some of the other mods before our meeting the next day.

Let me know if anyone will be out in the PHX area, maybe we can do one here.

Let me add my thanks too! It was a fun night!

p.s. I had my part of the tab pulled out and paid before the bill was delivered :)

Thank you for planning such a fun evening. We had our own tab and paid it before we left.

Been away for a while and totall missed this! I'll have to make the next one.

+1 on the big thanks - it was a great evening. ^

Sorry to hear the tab came up short - it happens at FT Dos all to often. :( And I hope you registered for the Pub's loyalty programme? :D

yes it does

I guess it would be worse to be a Red Sox fan.

Oh wait, I am one! haha

Anyway yes, I rego'd for the pub's gig but I dunno if they take receipts retroactively.

anyway it was great to see everyone and we shall do more!

That was why I checked with you before we all left - in case we needed to do a whip around. You should have said - I'm certain we'd all have thrown in a few more dollars without even blinking.

Your wish for more is impressive! :D ^
