Thanks! I will be sure to... I have a bit of experience but I am of course excited to learn even more. So much to see and do out there!

I was in the process of clearing my schedule and found a dreaded All Employee Meeting that afternoon. Wont get there until 7pm at earliest. still going to try though.

Found out the big boss has eagle eyes and there is hell to pay if one tries to sneak out early.

mikeef May 1, 2013 9:12 am

I've spoken to the folks at Kinsale and requested our normal patio spot. I'm assuming the weather will be pretty good at the end of May!

I got a threatening note from a certain someone (*cough cough* Mike *cough cough*), as I had not yet seen this thread.

A little uncertain of my travel schedule, but for now, please put me in the "yes" column. :)

I've always been less than enthusiastic about the beer prices and quality of food there. But again, I don't go for the food; I go for the company...oh, and to be ridiculed for knowing so little about credit card programs and manufactured spend. :))

I, too, had not seen this thread. There's an outside chance that I'll be able to attend, so mark me a definite maybe. At least I'll be in the correct hemisphere on that day, just not sure yet if Boston.

swdfly May 1, 2013 7:22 pm

Count me in, see you guys there.

dagaetch May 2, 2013 7:53 am

I'll be there as well! I need ideas for my summer vacation :-)

Scuta May 2, 2013 10:36 am

Firewind, thanks for posting in the old forum!

Mike, count me in.

Excellent, hope to see you there. I enjoy your posts in Starwood.

And everyone else, whom I was too lazy to quote, looking forward to seeing you again!

Mike's trying to pack the meetup with A-listers - it's not enough that he's got Marathon Man - in hopes that that will encourage more of us commoners to attend, so he can generously offer to take our cash and "cover" the whole bill with his credit card... :D

Firewind, you're an A-Lister in my book. :)

But the bad news is, my super-secret new credit card only gives me a bonus at Grocery Stores, Gas Stations and Drugstores. Not sure why I thought restaurants were covered.

sweeper20, you've been added!

Marathon Man May 3, 2013 2:05 pm

Pickle fight!

Macken7 May 3, 2013 5:33 pm

Yes to my attending.

For those so inclined, the Boston CVS stores seem to always have a good supply of VR's. Even a CVS located adjacent to the restaurant.

All right, I'm in.

Efrem May 7, 2013 11:20 am

Put me on the list. Haven't been too active on FT for a while, but this seems like a good way to get back into the swing of things!

No Canadian rock stars, nor Mexican drug cartels, will be there.

I got an email from the Kinsale last week. They are running a Cinco de Mayo special all month long, with two dollar tacos and four dollars for a 20 ounce Dos Equis. Should be good for our DO!

If you posted in the way normal people do, you'd probably have 20k by now :p. Should we ask in advance how many $2 tacos we can order? Or do we just order 200 and make a good time of it?

look buster... I'll force you to pay for the meals at the DO with a non mileage or CB earning CC and then tell citi TY and Chase UR about your shenanigans with their cards (even if you never did any lol). Then I will force you to read all of my pasts posts (something that could break one's server) and come with me to Walmart as I make you swipe my Debit card 4 times for $8k and give me miles but do so on check cashing day!

Either that or we'll have a few laughs about the latest change in miles land. :D

Here you go Pookie. ;)

And for those of you just reading along, yes, we really are this much fun.

Marathon Man May 9, 2013 11:14 am

Mike I read the basic code and I find it cant be travel hacked or gamed. Sure a script can be run to repeat it but nowhere can one load their cc to it nor cash out on the other end.

Your code needs a line 10.5: if input cc then go to line 10.6

10.6: sue citibank ty
