I know FT is comprised of a lot of folks with your mindset but it's still upsetting and insulting.

I didn't see that post refer to women, cigars or alcohol as commodities.

Actually, some of the kids now are quite a bit of fun. The only problem is that as Sweet Willie says, they see more of the fun since they keep going long after we are finished.

I could be up for Cinco de Mayo weekend if my bachelor party doesn't end up being that weekend. Even if it does I'd have to consider ditching my groomsmen for FTers.

I'd be so in.

Canada, Mexico, the UK, or really anywhere in Europe will work splendidly.

I'm very interested in attending this DO.

While I really like NYC and MIA, my vote for this DO would be LAS. FTers with different budgets could easily find options that work for them and there are tons of excellent restaurants and activities. Those concerned about the cost of alcohol should note that Nevada has some of the lowest alcohol prices in the US.

Well BP is going to be in Vegas, and I've seen LAS tossed around a few times in this thread. If the dates were to match up like that we'd at least come by and have some drinks with the DOers.

Hahaha. Sure, Curacao is hot and humid, but it's different. We have the nice cool Caribbean tradewinds. High 80's in Curacao is fine, but in New York it's really uncomfortable.

I mean the likes of Sweet Willie, me, and you, among a few others. When they start the second part of the evening at midnight at the first of three or four stops, I do not envision any of us, including you, lasting very long past the first one.
