While it's not an "offical" Flyertalk solution, anyone who is registered on my Mileage Runner's Website can contribute to the Events Calendar. I'm more than happy for people to use this for scheduling FT Do's. Moreover, if there's sufficient interest, I can put a database together that would allow people to RSVP online.

If there's enough support for it, I'll go ahead and put it together. What do others think?

Matthew-

Just speaking for myself....

As stated earlier, we already have an events calender right here on FT. And most of the Do's have had online RSVP through the awesome websites that Markbach and Kluau88 have put together. I think we just need to encourage and gently remind the hosts of FT events to remember to use it.

In answer to your question Missy... YES! There are too many do's, gatherings, etc.

But that is what is happening as the Flyertalk community has exploded in ranks. Lots of people want to host gatherings. People want to meet other Flyertalkers, show off their city.

One of the questions for a Flyertalker now besides what airline to fly and what hotel to stay at is "which Do TO "do"?" http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

And a major point of clarification: THe Catman DOS were not ONLY one big dinner.Or even put together to drink large quantities of beverages http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif THere were other events surrounding them and I left it open for people to explore NYC and do their own things.

The CMD3, 2001 included:

*Meet and greet at Idlewild bar, East Village.
*Dan Hammer's first Brooklyn Reality tour.
*Many smaller lunches and breakfasts and other stuff on Saturday.
*The Dinner at Cite (which I'm sorry that everyone didn't get a chance to meet everyone. It was a wonderful group.)
*Post Dinner Cigars and cognacs and black russians and other drinks at the 53rd Street Cigar Bar, Sheraton New York (the ONLY good thing about that hotel.)
*Small Sunday brunch at Sazarc House, West Village.

They were a chance for my FRIENDS to come and meet each other and meet the people I hang with and talk about.

I just met LarryU at LAX for a couple of drinks at both the CO PClub then the UA Int'l FC room. Since it was just the two of us, did we just have a 'do' or a 'don't'?

My Brother and bodyguard Newself... in my definition you had a gathering! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Should add a subgroup: when TWO flyertalkers get together it's a RON-DEE-DO! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

RON-DEE-DO http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif I love it!

Dan

I hate the term "DO".

How 'bout a "Pepper"?

I always thought that the "Do" came from the second Catman gathering, ala "deux", or two.

Hunki, you are correct. I added it to Catman Do 1 because I liked the way it sounded.

TO keep consistancy.

Thanks for remembering. and I like the word "DO."

Plus, I always assumed the Catman-do is what gave Catman the idea of visiting Kathmandu.

(Unless, of course, he stumbled across this web page.)

And then remade by that dreamboat we all knew and loved...Shaun Cassidy http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

missydarlin, I believe I have both Da Doo Ron Ron versions in my collection.

The 1963 original by The Crystals on CD and the 1977 remake by Shaun Cassidy on either 4-track or 8-track. Perhaps both.

Ah, The Good Ol' Days! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

I think it would be fun if we had a "do" where all the FlyerTalkers brought their dogs.

Would this be a doo do, or a doo-doo do? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

I respectfully request the honor of the Pooper Scooper Concession Stands contract for any FlyerTalk do doo. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

@@Yeah, time it when the movie comes out and call it Scooby-Doo DO...

May I bring Snoopy? He is on a couple of my Tee shirts. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

MRLIMO, I once suggested a "Winnie The Pooh-per Scooper" to the Disney Stores/Catalog. You could hear the Jimney Crickets chirp.

If we have one for dogs, to be fair we should have a CAT DO for all those who are "owned" by Felines.

AFTER ALL: Dogs Drool, CATS RULE! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Mr. Limo: You are a great resource of creativity and knowledge of many things! FOUR PAWS UP for YOU!

The Shaun Cassidy 8 track was my first major purchase with my own money. It took forEVER for my 7 year old self to save up allowance until I had enough.
