... maybe someone can pick us up on the way or we can split a Lyft/Uber or something. I'll be overnighting at one of the Hyatt properties near LAX, expect I'll be able to check in early...

Important Message from our Vice Principal of Communication

Its great to see that so many of you are interested in this group! Hopefully this bodes well for future events.

We dont have the venue exclusively, as a result, well initially place a limit of 10 attendees. This should allow everyone to be comfortable, and be included in discussions without feeling overwhelmed or excluded. Depending on experience and feedback we may increase the limit for future events.

If youre confirmed, but feel you cant make it, please let us know, so we can free up space for others.

Thanks, looking forward to seeing you all soon.


davewho?? Vice Principal of Communication

Attendance

Based on the communication above. We currently have 8 people Attending (Honor Roll) and 2 people as Maybe (Studying in the Library).

I will be sending a PM to those in the Library, allow them a few days to reply before we will confirm any new attendees.

Therefore, we will be starting a new category Waitlist (Trying to hang with the cool kids) to accommodate those whom are interested in attending

Update: Ive heard from those whom I sent a PM to. As of this writing, we officially have 1 space available

I've currently been losing my voice for nearly two weeks, so I'm going to say that I won't be attending for now.

Will have to catch up with y'all later. That week will prove to be difficult due to work reasons. Also airfares are high AF. I have an Arches NP trip on the books for later this year, so hoping to sneak in LAX either before/after.

Final Update: 1 Spot Available

Final Update: 1 Spot Available

We currently have 9 FTers confirmed for tomorrows Inaugural LAX Happy Hour DO (Is someone bringing the big ribbon and scissors)?

I have reserved a communal table with seating for 10, on the outside patio . Reservation is under my last name (for those who know). All others, just look for the studious group, engaged in laughter, libations, and conversations regarding miles and points. I will arrive at approximately 3:45 PM to ensure that everything is all squared away.


If youre running late, have any questions at all, please send me a PM, Ill reply with a answer and provide my cell phone number so we can text from there.

We have 1 spot available!

See you all tomorrow!

By the way Zorak I believe is seeking to ride-share from the LAX area, if your interested
