New York is a place I always love visiting.

Randy, have you picked a day and time and site for the Freddies.
May i suggest NYC again? There are enough FT-ers around to make it a nice little DO.
Let me know so I can work on getting time off from work
And putting off 1K qualifying runs
Thanks.

I have to make an obligatory appeal for the city of Atlanta. We could have a Party in Peachtree before or after the ceremony...

Last year, the ceremony was on April 25, and I had to miss it because I was flying to Tampa that afternoon. I was NOT happy about that. The corresponding Thursday this year would be April 24, and I'm flying to Atlanta that evening. So, assuming that the date stays about the same, I could make either NYC or Atlanta (by changing my flight time). I'll try to be there, wherever it is!

Tazi, The Freddies ceremonies are OPEN to ALL Flyertalkers
What you do is send Randy or Inside Flyer an e-mail telling them you are interested in attending. They'll put you on the guest list.
IT's FREE and you get to meet and chat with representatives of many programs.
I have attended four straight Freddies and all have been fun. Depending on the Location I may make it for #5 (NYC would be easier for me to go than other places, especially if it's on Monday thru Thursday.)
And most of the Freddies I believe have been in NYC.

If I remember correctly; last year if you voted real low; like a one that those votes were thrown out. I believe that if you want to punish a particular program you will have to stagger your votes among the low votes rather than give them one's across the board. I will need a new strategy to punish Hilton and DL this year.

SPG is going to sweep the Freddies this year too.
People are going to vote so low that it won't count.

Cleveland was NAMED after Moses FREDERICK Cleaveland...the Freddies should be on the North Coast.

Thanks for the reply Catman. It sounds like a great time. Hopefully it will be held in NYC again which would make it easy for me to attend.

Hmmmm not dissing NYC, but wouldnt this be the perfect opportunity for an "event" at The House of Miles. At least Randy & staff wouldn't have to go to far...
