Just a few final notes for you. Head on up to the upstairs part of the bar and we will be there. I've reserved the upper part of the bar for us.

If there is someone working the door, just tell them that you are there for the private party upstairs.

There will definitely be Foster's there, so Oz should feel right at home.

Talk to you guys tonight!

Joh, sorry to hear about your Denver troubles. From what I remember, transit service to DIA funneled via the Stapleton Airport Transit Center--- the area and the parking structure are kinda creepy now that the terminal is closed.

By now you're probably on your way......

ozstamps Aug 9, 2002 2:21 pm

Slight mess up here.

Got to DIA 46 mins before flight. 2 mins on 1k line, and agent says "you are 44 mins to flight - we cannot accept you if you checked bags - must be 45 mins at least".

Ask for gate supervisor who arrives. She agrees. Darn. What nonsense. Next flight to IAD leaves 2.45pm arriving 8.05pm. So, to make sure we make the party we wil forego our 2 dollar bus ride, for a $60 cab ride right to the bar which right now is is $4687 Australian dollars.

We will be the folks with suitcases, looking flustered! A collection can will be passed. around! See you all around 9pm or maybe earlier. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Whew...survived. Barely. And managed to only piss Lisa off a little this time http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

Thanks to mdtony for organising and hosting a great night. Seemed to be about 1.00 am when we finally checked into the Hilton, so the steady stream of Fosters seemd to keep us awake nicely. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Great seeing such a nice group of FT'ers, old and new faces, and I think there were about 14 of us there, and great catching up with one and all. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

It was great to see all of you folks last night. I sure hope you had as much fun as I had.

Take it easy, guys, and next time you're in town, Oz, we'll do Ozfest II. Without the trademark, of course.

Kudos to mdtony for setting things up, it's always great to meet up with Flyertalkers, old and new (no reference to age http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif ) Next time though, no karaoke at Stacatto..hehe Glen and Joh, nice to finally meet up with you both, thanks for the bag tags, they are already on my favorite carry-on. Have a wonderful trip and hope to see you again when travel paths cross.

Joh Aug 10, 2002 8:36 pm

Sitting here in the RCC MIA sipping bubbly and checking emails while Glen is on the phone to UA. Great night, great folks, and nice catching up with you all. Off to Santiago at midnight... flyertalker Jim_B is meeting us at airport for some lunch and sightseeing.

It was fun hanging out with you guys, and thanks MDTony and dhacker for the organization and hospitality!!

ozstamps and Joh, hope you're having a great time in Chile!!!

MarriottGirl Aug 13, 2002 8:09 am

Joh - Sorry I didn't make it. Sounds like it was a good time. I hope you weren't the only woman there.

Friday evening my husband's sister and her family showed up in town a day earlier than expected, so my plans changed at the last minute.

Nope, there were a few others. So you didn't leave Joh behind.

We gotta start planning for Ozfest II.

lmlinder Aug 13, 2002 5:10 pm

Yes, there were enough of us girls to entertain the guys.

LOL

Joh Aug 15, 2002 4:46 pm

MarriottGirl .. well all the more men for Lisa and I and her friend! Catch you next time. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif
