I've met quite a few, but some I'd like to meet-

UnitedSkies (for his or her helpfulness!)

Rudi (you know why!)

Randy Peterson (you know why)

Gaucho100K (for his contest where I won an SWU that put me in C from NRT-ORD!)

Flyingmama *and* Baymomma (for posting all those wonderful contests on the sweepstakes forum!)

AND MOST OF ALL...

GFOWLER-ORD-1K - for his holy awesomeness in ensuring that we all got our 5x miles from UA!! Gfowler is DA' MAN!!! :D

Still have Flyertalkers to meet!
 

I have meet several HUNDRED Flyertalkers in my five years on these boards. Some have even become friends.

There are a few I still want to meet:

*Hnechets: I remember you ffrom the early days and would be honored to meet you. Please if you are up NYC way drop me a line.

*Sweet Willie: to get tips on how you are able to get such big turnouts for dinners. Trying to do the same with the NYC crowd.

*The mysterous Idsant, who I know from chat and Instant Message but would still love to meet in person. ;)

*hfly: we have had good talks so I want to meet the real person :)

All the cats of the Flyertalkers :)

It was nice recently to finally meet and talk to Spiff :) and hope to see you soon and gleff (who I'll have to chat with more when I get to DC.)

There's one FLyertalker who've I've meet though who forever had made an impression on me :) Not naming names ;)

I've never posted anything on this thread because I agree with the above statements. It's better if folks' feelings are not hurt if they don't see their name mentioned by someone. JMHO.

I like and want to meet as many people as I can. Suffice it to say that there are a few of you on my highly secret and exclusive list of eleven FT'ers I haven't met before and very much want to meet. ;)

Maybe I'll let you know by "surprising" you with a small and very rare gift to mark the occasion, if we ever do meet each other. (And swear you to complete secrecy about being on the list. :D )

After I complete it, maybe I'll make another one, and so on. However, I think this one will keep me busy for some time.

I also want to meet many of you I have encountered before (whether you remember me or not). :)

Cash for me will be just fine. Thanks. :)

And I won't tell a soul...

Depending on how much cash you get paid, eh? :)

Random Thoughts on ... an Ode to Alan Malamud
 

I have met roughly 7 FTers during my two years on the board here. So I will list them first:

1 - CATMAN: pleasure to have been the first person I met when he set up an NYC DO along with
2 - RICH G: fellow entertainment exec ;)
3 - EPERALTOLTERO: the rappin' FTer
4 - DOC: said five words to him at dinner "hey, nice to meet you," because I had to leave early
5 - LING: same as above, though she does smile easily
6 - COZUMEL JEN; same as 5, and 4

However, I have to say my craziest FT moment was with SWEET WILLIE in Germany. We partied for one (long) day at Oktoberfest and have remained long distance pen pals. I can safely say this is one cool dude that everyone needs to meet. I'm still wondering who won his late '03 "dining" contest ;)

I would like to meet one of these days:

1 - JonNYC: because he kicked the crud out of me (post-wise) when I first joined and wasn't up-to-speed on how to do the board thing properly. He did send over a cool picture of him at some Middle Eastern hotel though after we, um, made up. :p

2 - RANDY: for obvious reasons.

3 - SWEET WILLIE (again) and his wife: Because it isn't about numbers for me. It's quality. This dude can throw down, too. Prost!

aaaaaahhhhhh how sweet!!! I love the gushy stuff!

There are many FT people I'd love to meet!

Top 5 would be-

1) Guinnessman great sense of humor

2)UnitedSkies who is this corporate UA person?

3)Sweet Willie he seems like such a nice man

4)spiff love some of his inflammatory posts!

5)essxjay because this person has such a way with words!

I'd love to meet many many others, so if you don't see your name posted here it's ok I still want to meet you. ;)

I have one more name to the list...can I have six please?
6)airlinemileswhore caus I love that FT name!! :cool:

We're all grown ups (I think) and nobodyies feelings will be hurt.
That said, people I have had the pleasure of meeting:

Pretty much the entire DC Flyertalk crew
Catman
Premex
Iluv2Fly
JayBrian
SeeYa
DLNewbie
Oz and Joh
etc.

My list of FTers I would like to meet far exceeds 5. In time, I am sure I will meet many of these members. I don't list members in any particulr order. I appreciate meeting FTers because there is a common interest that binds us together that most people in my life do not understand.

Until then fellow FTer, best regards.

I want to meet wingless.... :p

(sigh......)
