DFW Do? Ever?
 

I'm searching the forums but no DO in the DFW area. With all the steakhouses around and fun Tex-Mex happy hour how is this possible?

Have you considered hosting a Dallas Do?

You are correct, there are not any active Do's in the DFW area, there have been attempts in the past.

Having planned a number of Do's, the easiest way in my opinion to get things started in an area that hasn't been Flyertalk active (from a Community Buzz standpoint) is to simply host a get together for drinks.

Good luck, Chicago has an active group of Flyertalkers, lots of fun to get together.

Edited to add: here is a good current thread about how a fellow Flyertalker is attempting to get things started: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/commu...st-sat-do.html

Wow, I can't believe this was 11 years ago! Still one of my favorite Do's ... http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/commu...ver-y-all.html

No. Thought I needed to be very active on here in order to do so. Never been to one but will look into hosting one when the heat dies down a little.

Wow! That looks like it was a lot of fun. I'm def going to research and take a stab at it but I will need help

Nope, no requirement that members be active in order to host a get together and it might be a great way for you to meet other members both locals and out-of-towners.

I think you should pick a date & place & get it going. I've done a few dinners here, nothing fancy. And no date works for everyone.

This older thread could be used as a guide for the types of casual meetings that happened in the past and those who attended them (although not all are still active members) http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/commu...ng-thread.html

Thanks all! I'm going with dinner and drinks - and eventually a date that works for a few ppl

I always thought it would be pretty awesome for a picnic at Founders Park.

Flyinhawaiian linked to the old DFW Gathering thread above.
Back in the day, there was a decent group of us who would get together monthly-ish. Over time, life intervened, some moved away, other stuff happened, and we just lost interest.
From my time participating in the DFW Gatherings, it seemed to be somewhat difficult to get people out of their 'hoods in the metroplex. Dallas people don't want to go west, Fort Worth people don't want to go east, Denton people don't want to go south, etc. It did happen, but not consistently.

You can always see if anyone is local to you in the Where We All Live thread: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/comm...-all-live.html
