DFW 2/21 - 2/23/03 - SAVE THE DATE!
 

Okay... we've kicked the idea around of doing a second DFW do. The first one was great, despite being held only two weeks after 9/11, but we're hoping for an even better showing for a second do.

We wanted to get this down on the calendar now so we would have a date marked. PeachesBB will be my co-host and bollar will be our honorary co-host (as immediate past host). I'm hoping a couple more DFW FTers are gonna step up to the plate and be our on planning committee too. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

Last time, we were focused on stuff specifically around DFW airport... save for aviation-related stuff and lots of hotels (and Casa de Techgirl), there isn't much else to do there however. This time, we would like to focus our planning on either Dallas proper or Fort Worth proper.

(edited to add that we picked Fort Worth over Dallas) http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif
Fort Worth has a nice downtown shopping/restaurant district, several museums, and the Stockyards historic district all within a few minutes of each other.

The city will require a car or some type of transport assistance... we'll start working on a list of suggested hotels and possible shuttle service to the main events so everyone isn't out on the road.

DFW folks who are interested in helping plan, please e-mail me.

Oooh, I am the first to RSVP! Do I get a prize? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

I'm right behind you Masha!

techgirl - no real preference on Dallas or Fort Worth. I've spent a lot of time in Dallas in the past but very little time in FW, so I wouldn't mind getting to explore it a bit.

Wow! If we both sleep where I slept on my last trip to DFW, we are gonna need to hook up that webcam for sure. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

Um... I was planning for this to be a PG-13 rated DO, girlies. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

It's ALL techgirl's idea, but as a co-host of this event, I feel it is my duty to notify all potential attendees that there will be a night of karaoke, regardless of what city we end up in.

There. You have all been warned. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

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

You always say that...

There ain't enuff booze in Texas to get me to sing karaoke, but I will be there never-the-less!

I believe I am in Dallas for two weeks, including those dates, so mark me down as a probable, plus two other guys from my training course.

Is it ok if they cover my Karoke? They both love to sing, so I would like to give them my turn(s)

I'll put this on the calendar, techgirl. If Mrs. Starwood Lurker and myself can break away for some of the events, I'll let you know a little closer to the date.

I believe I heard my name mentioned? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif Put me down as highly probable, Jen!

Anyone else see the irony that this isn't listed in the Unofficial, Unsanctioned Get Together Index?

It's not just you, chexy, I was just afraid to mention it. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Looks like you're actually going to trick more people into coming to Texas than you did last time ... of course I'll try and come, but seeing that it is 7 months away, it's kind of hard to committ for sure ... Guess I could just confirm and pull a geo ...

I believe that those of you who heard my karaoke story on the way to redhook will understand why I will not be stepping up on the stage again http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif
