"dining miles" FT get-togethers...any takers?
I just had one of those ideas that makes one say to oneself: surely someone else has thought of this by now."
But fellow FTers, it occurred to me that those of us in larger cities could kill 2 birds with 1 proverbial stone: earning miles and coming together and meeting in person. Let me know how this sounds:
People in one city/area hold a monthly/weekly/biweekly or whatever meeting/dinner in a restaurant/bar, provided that establishment participates in some sort of FF partner program. (M+ and DM are 2 examples). Either one person can pick up the tab with/without payback (a matter of contention that can be settled by rotation, drawing, mutual agreement or paper-rock scissors) or everyone can run separate bills. Hopefully a solution can be reached to attain the maximum miles per visit.
Seems like something worth looking into. Dinner, discusssion, and miles to boot! And if said restaurant doesn't suit the collective fancies, you can pack up and move to a new one. This is just a working idea right now, but I'd like to hear your input on this.
(Must remember--colons not equals for the smileys
)

Would you really expect the waiter to issue SEPERATE checks for each miles addict? 
They don't really like to do that.
Hold a drawing or a bidding contest for highest bid!
Just wanna have FUN!
