The FIRST FLYERTALK event ever was held in BOSTON in March, 1999.
The guest List:
Catman
PremEx
Baobab and the Gardener (the hosts)
NJ David and Helen
Anna S
Kyklin
MileCrazy
Matt Wald (before he became Kokonutz/A Freak/Whatever name he is this week
I think there are a few pictures posted somewhere.
It was my first of many FT events. It was a wonderful weekend at a great restaurant, Sunday brunch at this nice downtown hotel, a visit to a "Cat" retrospective at the Museum of Science and making new friends!
Those were the days when Flyertalk was just a small bulletin board and nothing reached DO proportions (until the PIP 1 in Hawaii, NOvember, 1999!)
OMNI for the Boston gang: I'd love to have a reunion in Boston sometime of the ORIGINAL First FT "do" guests. (plus Kyklin's and PremEx's loves
)

on the 29th and would be up for lunch or
supper. I'm changing my profile to include
my e-mail; the return to anonymity didn't
work anyhow.

Since it looks as though the majority like the weekend of 11/1-11/3, should we make further plans for those dates? i.e. a meet and greet Friday night (if people arrive then), a dinner on Sat. night and a brunch on Sun,....or dinner/drinks Sat., brunch on Sun.,.....or just dinner/drinks Sat. ????
Places to be decided of course.
Any thoughts?

Catman recollects:
Indeed it was! Here's a group picture at that that first meet.

Of course the Cheese Cake Factory is always a good choice as well
any place being considered for a weekend dinner should be checked to make sure they take group reservations.
out of curiosity is anyone interested in some unusual group activity, like perhaps a visit to http://www.f1boston.com ?

I will probably go to an early Nov event. I'll also offer my web site as a place to post details.
BTW, I'll also vote for Royal East. If it will be a large group, they should be notified ahead of time. It's real popular, especially with folks at MIT.
