With the "branding change" of the Westin Beechwood, I would say that it is pretty much going to be impossible to get a Starwood stay out of this event.
For those who don't typically drive at FT events, I am again going to urge everyone to stay downtown in Fort Worth, where the "best" option is going to be the Renaissance. I'm going to work on getting a negotiated rate there, but I think using Priceline or free weekends is going to be a good bet.
We will be making certain that all "planned" activities are either walking distance from the Renaissance or that we have transportation prearranged. As a bonus, for folks coming from DFW, it will be easy to take either the train or Airporter bus into the city so cars won't be necessary.

The PIM (Party in The Metroplex) last year was also called a gathering by me.
I think Catman's trying not to call this edition a DO, because of that movie....you know, with Debbie?
It's the major reason I stayed away from calling last year's event by that title, and chose PIM.
Of course, we're not really going to be in Dallas for anything, are we?
How about calling it the DFW Do? Then, there's no reference to the movie.

but isn't ANY "Do" with Techgirl involved an "Event"? At least in the hazy memories of those in attendance?

According to the "unofficial" rules... you definitely have a DO JEN... which if the numbers hold will become A MEGA DO.
If it were in Dallas it would be the DID (Do in DALLAS)
For Fort Worth: the DIFW (Do in Fort Worth)
But it's your Party Jen, call it whatever you want.
And count me in a a BIG, BIG MAYBE (If I'm not doing a mileage run that weekend.)

Now now young wingless one...
I can't give you naming rights unless you are at least going to put yourself on the list of possible attendees...

Cool, Catman! I hope it will happen. If not, then I'll have to just try harder next time.
How about this for a name:
1st Annual FlyerTalk DFW Fun and Friendship Gathering.
This incorporates both the title wingless thought up, plus techgirl's most important tenet of fun and friendship.
