Is 12 the magic number to make it an official do?

According to the unofficial rules of "What is a DO:"
http://www.flyertalk.com/pasttalk/ft...ML/002054.html
An "even" dozen makes a DO!
Several dozens makes a MEGA DO.
But, note, this little lunch cannot be considered a Catman DO. Catman do's are held in NYC and are organized by the namesake
Please, gang, pray for sun. NO SNOW! NO DELAYS! I really, really want to go to Europe!
See my FRIENDS in a week!

Catman,
Email me your flight number so I can track it and be at the airport in time to pick you up.

Mileage Addict... you have mail.
This is going to be a fun lunch! (Not wanting to take away from those "Monthly Happy Hours" that are happening.)
Did someone go ahead and make reservations at Clydes? Just planning ahead.
mymiles2go... If I can remember I may be wearing a "Flyertalk" Ballcap if you happen to be in a RCC that day. Since there are two sometimes it's tough to meet up.

Since I ended up getting STUCK at IAD (becuase bad weather at EWR canceled my flight) I went to Reston Town Centre and made a reservation for 12 at Clydes for 12:30pm on Friday, Feb 28.
Reservation is under the name CATMAN or MARK It made the hostess laugh when I said put the reservation under CATMAN
Just liking to have things set early in case there are a lot of people wanting to skip out of work Friday
It looks like a nice place. Whlinder... just wanted to lock something in. Looking forward to Ilinder coming as well.
Let me know if there are any additions or if anyone has to bow out so I can give a final count friday morning.
Send positive cat vibes for good weather. I'm taking the same plane that canceled out tonight, leaving me at the Sheraton Reston (which is a pretty nice hotel.)
See ya Friday, I HOPE!

Forecast for Thursday Friday is Wintery Mix in other words the weatherman doesn't know if it is going to snow, rain or do both
Sheraton Reston YIKES, have you looked up the reviews of that place on the spg board.. not very good.. I stayed there once, hopefully never again
See you Friday
