Yes I'll be there yet I'm hoping there is a 'post-gathering' of some sort? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

The perfect ladies' man is a perfect gentleman.

You can count me in, along with Mr Fish.. Wouldn't miss it; especially this year! Will keep checking the threads for any further details....

Dan,

I've sent an e-mail to pre-register with [email protected]. Do you know if this will include us in all assocated events (cocktails, dinner, awards)?? This will be our first attendance, so we are a little perplexed as to protocol to follow.. Any other info on side events would be appreciated by all (sorry that we can't make the Brooklyn tour; meeting on Fri in NJ)!! Thanks! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

Robin

I will NOT be attending the Freddies as I don't get into Newark until Friday evening, but if anyone is sticking around, I might be up for a get together somewhere Saturday. (I WON'T have the time to do dhammer53's Brooklyn tour, but if there is anything on for before or after, I would like to know.)

At this point, I should be around and hope to make it. What's this about 'pre-registering'....? Also, I know last year Starwood hosted an event on the evening prior--has anyone heard if they will be repeating that?

Mauld,

I pre-registered thru [email protected], and Janet forwarded me to the official invite website at www.freddieawards.com/invitation Also corresponded with William at SPG, who informed me that SPG will NOT be hosting a pre-awards party. Anyone making pre- , post- plans????

Robin

Mauld,

Don't forget to look for us this year. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Last year, flyertalkers were invited to the FREDDIES after lunch, although some of us managed to snag a desert.

I guess we're all still waiting for the official announcement.

Dan

I'll be there. This will be my 6th Freddies.

Danny

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: I think this might be posted in another thread but thought i'd answer the question. Thursday night, April 25th. Holiday Inn Martinique near the Empire State Building. Cocktails are at 6 pm, buffet dinner at 7 pm and awards start at 8 pm. All night celebration and revelry will start afterwards (PS, hang around the winners to see if they are buying drinks.....) You are all invited to attend any and all of the events.

Just a small favor......all the major programs will be represented and please honor the fact that this is not a night to hash over a complaint with them or resolve a particular problem. Let's keep this an event that everyone can enjoy.....

That said... Randy are you providing the party hats and noise makers? See you in two weeks! Glad you are back, hope your trip went well...

I am pleased to respond that I will most likely be attending the Freddies -- a first for me!! I was scheduled to be in Japan that week, but it looks like the trip has been postponed until May.

I look forward to meeting Randy and all of my FT friends that night!!

FYI--- The rate at the HI where the Freddies will be held just went down by $20. If any of you have reservations, call and change it. It's a "Great Rates" rate, for $159. See ya there!!!

Here's a great site to hit before going to Priceline, if that is what anyone is thinking of using for a hotel room:

My Friends,

Due to a sudden meeting reschedule, I will be unable to attend the Freddies in person tonight. I am very disappointed that I will miss yet another opportunity to meet my fellow FT'ers.

Please have a drink for me, and I will see you next time.
