Happy Anniversary To The PIP!
This afternoon Catman, AusTxHiker, Beckles, and PremEx hoisted Mai Tais in the company of KSA_USA, Tolarian Wind and Holly, high atop The Tower Of The Americas in San Antonio, Texas in honor of the 1 year anniversary of the Party In Paradise, which started one year ago today on November 4, 1999!
Lots of great memories of that fantastic time on the beautiful island of Ohau! We were thinking of all you FlyerTalk friends that we met there (many for the first time).
Suck one up in honor if you get the chance!

Oh, what wonderful memories!
And I have to thanks everyone at the PIP and everyone at Flyertalk --- but especially Rudi, Tropical FLyer and of course, my big bruddar PremEx -- for breakign down my wall of insecurity about being around crowds of people and hosting big events. I never had the gutts to be "the Social Director" of anything. You all made that possible and I am a better man for it (and getting better everyday!)
AH-ME-OW! (ALOHA in Feline!

What could be better than a fun plane ride where we owned the upper deck on the PiP Express, had a wonderful time with such great friends at an island paradise??
Thanks for the memories everyone!

The criminal always returns to the scene of the crime, (FlyerTalk). 
And AnnaS so eloquently stated her PIP sentiments, "Thanks for the memories everyone!" I concur.
That recipe will never be recaptured again. I'm happy to have been a part of it. They'll never be another quite like The First Annual PIP.

Not to make this about me (although funny how everything is), this is also my one year FT anniversary. In fact, I originally thought that PIP stood for Plenty of Intoxicated People, which is why I signed up. Well, two hundred posts of nonsense later, here I still am. Thanks, all, for a lot of laughs and info. Id say thanks for Latin Pass, but let me first see if those free Belize tickets work.
On a more serious note: Raeban, God Speed for a fast and full recovery. It cant hurt to have friends all over the world pulling for you, and thinking of Onefreeman and your family during these trying days.

I am just back from the 'Altbier in Dsseldorf' preparation meeting with bernie and Mizu: bernie and Mizu can testify, that I did wear the whole weekend PremEx' special PiP-shirt (the one he made for the Matt Wald - Rudi tennis match) in honour of this PiP Anniversary.

BEST WISHES to you!

I was at LAX last night from 6:30 - 10:00 in terminal 6. I wish that I knew you were there! I met dhammer53 at his plane and we had a few cold ones before he continued on with his mileage run.

Yes, great memories indeed! I am glad that I was there for the 1st Annual PiP.
Raeban: We're all praying for your speedy recovery.
Since PiPs are supposed to be annual, let's get started on the next one!
