Cow Do XIII (EZE) - Sep 01 to Sep 04, 2017
Time to start the new Master Thread for one of the great FlyerTalk traditions, the Cow Do in Buenos Aires, Argentina !!!!
What is the Cow Do.....?
Cow Do is a gathering of FlyerTalkers from all over the world that come together in Buenos Aires during the US Labor Day Holiday Weekend. Objectives are to enjoy the city, focus on eating good amounts of Beef and drinking (mostly red) wines from Mendoza, Salta & Patagonia. Needless to say, non FT partners and friends are most welcome, as are non meat eaters.... plenty of vegetarian and fish/seafood options will be available at the Restaurants we will be organizing the various events. A charity wine tasting event (sometimes two of these events are held, depending on the group interest) is also a big part of this Do, with funds going to support rural schools in remote areas of Northern Argentina.
This is one of the most longevous Do's in the history of FlyerTalk, 2017 marks the thirteenth consecutive annual event. Aside from the EZE based activities, side trips are sometimes arranged by the participants, including day trips to local Estancias, day trip to Colonia or Montevideo, etc. This Do has a long list of regular participants, various of which have been at more than half dozen editions of this Do.
For information & details of previous Cow Do's, please see the following threads:

Please post you interest in this thread, allowing us to gauge initial interest and begin with the planning details. As you status moves from interest to booked and (hopefully) confirmed, please keep us updated by posting your condition here.
Also, please use this thread to post you questions & comments, the more information this thread has the more FTers we can offer this as an option to come down to visit Buenos Aires and collect a nice amount of miles !!!
VERY IMPORTANT: for those that already are hunting for fares, please (also) post here so as to alert others about great deals for coming down.

Glad to see various folks already on the interested list !!!! ^^^^
I have a crazy day today but will try to find time to start tracking the list of interested parties and add more information on what the game plan for this year will be. A regular event of this Do will have to be changed for 2017 as Marieta Restaurant closed its doors a few months back - times are not easy for EZE restaurants as competition is as fierce as ever and the local economy is just starting to recover from the disaster left behind by the K regime and its gang of crooks...

Put me on the interested list as well. I'm transitioning to a solo law practice so this gives me more free time. I'll be keeping an eye on this thread.
