I don't want anyone to have the expectation that I'm gonna update in real-time... but I'm headed over right now to add new events and delete the ones that were today. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

Does this make chexy a maybe?

Well, it's nice to see this gathering FINALLY get a sequel. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

And you remembered that I retired from this business, although I will uphold my promise to be a consultant.

As the originator of the first gathering and the other co-host (points that techgirl forgot to mention, because she's ignoring me because I live in Dallas http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif), I do want to stress to the DFW area FT'ers that this takes a lot of effort on the part of the hosts. The more of you who can pitch in with ideas, help, etc, to back the hosts up, the better! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

No preference on FW or Dallas. Your choice.

Why, pray tell, isn't Lubbock an option? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

Would love to confirm, but geez, Jen, 5 months out? I don't even know where I'm going to be in five hours...can I go on the "might flake out/might not" list for now?

You're NOT going to be on 520, but you'll still be stuck in traffic trying to get out to the golf course http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

techgirl -

happy to help out any way i can. maybe we can brainstorm on the NRT-ORD flight. just let me know.

Well DUH, Sluggie dearheart...

The third weekend in February was always the weekend of Pikefest... hotels in LBB would be a bit difficult to come by for what was billed as the world's largest Frat Party when I was in college.

(Then again, what would I know... I haven't been in years. I'm not even sure if they still HAVE Pikefest. I'll have to ask some of my younger cohorts who have lived in Lubbock more recently than me....)

Why Lubbuck, how about Sulphur Springs or Beaumont/Pt Arthur? Those are high quality party towns! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

ps: Since I have't been to either Dallas nor Fort Worth, I will let you choose.

After reading just the first seven posts here, I knew this clearly is an event I should plan to attend if at all possible.

So please include me as "tentative but probable."

(Are basses allowed to sing karaoke?)

Hm, can we at least stop by? I am sure I can think of a way to 'come by' a hotel room once we are there. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

Most of my visits to the DFW area have been mostly to big D and not much to the FW side of town... But either way, I'd love to attend!

Well considering my last hotel experience in dear ole Lubbock http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif - I vote for Fort Worth

I used to say the same thing. Trust me, enough Texas-Size shots, and you will not only be willing to bust out with some "Oops, I Did It Again", but will probably be leading the dance train around the room while you do it.

Where are we going? And why am I in this handbasket?

Okay.... chatted with my co-hosts and we've decided since there have been no strong votes for Dallas that we will be doing this in Fort Worth.

We already have the locations in mind for Friday's activity and Saturday's dinner and activity.

Within the next three or four weeks, we will get a new thread up which will have specifics about hotel options, transportation options (we are gonna work on some type of shuttle to specific hotels so the Starwood and Hilton folks can have that option), and maybe even the locations for activities...

... but in the meantime, keep posting here so we can get a tentative list going.

(Oh, and studley and DFWTripGuy - consider yourselves officially recruited!)

I have this penciled in. And I can help out if needed.
