So we are essentially the same person... Only he is bettet looking 
We don't have an automated system, but we do them every three months, which means the next one will be in mid-October. If you PM me at the end of September, I"ll have a date.
For those of you who don't know baccarat_king, here's an analogy:
bac_king is to gaming loyalty programs as Marathon Man is to frequent flyer programs.

Looking forward to seeing you all there. Note that we have not one, but two people flying in from Amsterdam. I like to think it was just for the Do.
Please note: We normally gather on the patio at Kinsale. I'm going to try to remember to bring nametags. We seem to have a bunch of newbies, so if you don't quite know where to go, head out to the patio and look for the yellow Flyertalk tags on our bags. One of the nice things about the Boston group is that it is an extremely friendly group. We have yet to have any jerks show up.
For those who are really new to the mileage game, I'd recommend a notebook, just in case you hear an idea that you want to explore, since many of them are multi-step.

Amazing twist, to the story, turns out another FlyerTalker was sitting right next to me on the flight!

Looking forward to meeting everyone. This is about the largest group we've had, so I'm looking forward to seeing you all.
Also looking forward to putting the Do on my Citi card and getting 2X TYP (translates at 2.5% if used for travel), and then paying that card off with a debit card for an additional 3.8% after fees. Or, I could just use my TD card and get a straight 5%. Decisions, decisions...

Hey, don't forget the dog. The dog also flew in from Amsterdam! You can read all about that adventure in the Delta forums. Alas, the thread has already been locked. Yep, bring up dogs or babies, and the threads get locked mighty fast. LOL.
