Oh, that sounds wonderful, but the odds of me being in Indianapolis for work on a Friday (so I could stay over) are extremely close to zero - I go there about every 3-4 weeks, but usually Tue/Wed or Wed/Thu. On the other hand, a FT event would make me feel better about missing Sea-Doo and I've been meaning to try out the golf course in nearby Peru.

I'll have to work on this a little bit - put me down as a hopeful but doubtful maybe.

You are on the list! Hope you can make it!

Let me know when you're going to be in town & I'll try to work my monthly Indy trip around it.

Cheryl, bump me up to 2. My non-flyertalker wife wants to go!

Good news sko -- glad we'll get to meet the Mrs too! I've adjusted the list accordingly. Last week while I was in town I talked to Linsey over at St Elmos & set the reservation for 12, with the understanding that the number is a "moving target"


FYI....if anyone is interested in hitting "the Noodle" later in the evening, I'm planning on staying downtown that night.

Anyone else interested? It don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime...

Gees, thanks. Another song I'm not going to get out of my head now...

If you'll show up, I promise not to sing...

Okay, I'm trying to work on :-: JANA :-: to come with us. If any locals happen to see her & wouldn't mind working on her as well....

I would like to make a suggestion that all who attend chip in a small amount so we can treat JANA to the meal. My wife and I would be the first to contribute.
We would also be glad to meet Mrs Skofarrell. After enough talk and libations, we might turn her into a flyer afterall.

JerseyJoe -- that's a great idea! I had offered in my earlier e-mail to Jana to pick up the tab for her dinner (if she'll join us) to thank her for everything she's contributed to FT and also for being so wonderful whenever I see her at IND. It would be fantastic if anyone else would like to contribute...and I'm sure that Jana will be very touched and appreciative!

Edited to add....assuming we can get Jana to join us, anyone who would like to contribute to cover Jana's dinner is obviously more than welcome to (either post here or PM me), but most certainly I don't want anyone to feel obligated to contribute!!!!!! For those who don't know who Jana is, she is a UA employee at IND who does a fantastic job of helping pax, and she has also contributed A LOT to the UA forum here on FT in the past (sadly, she's not been posting in the past several months).

"Indiana, our Indiana, Indiana, we're all for you..."

Okay, I'll stop...for now.

Even if I don't make it, I'll contribute to the Jana dinner. She's top-notch!!

Okay, before we get into dueling fight songs...(or else I'll have to start singing about "where the Wabash spreads its valley")

Thanks for the offer for Jana -- she is quite loved by many of us! (I hadn't forgotten about our chat at Naha, just didn't want to be the one to publish it for you)

You must know better by now not to write something like this when I'm around...

Meeeeeeoowwwwwwwwww....

Oh, she's a flyer, and she's benefited a lot from FT. She just does not understand the addiction.

Sko, if she's with you, she'll be all right by us!

FYI...I called Jana yesterday...she's >50% yes with her calendar and should know by this weekend!
