Actually, this sounds just about like most of the DOs I've attended. Well, the fun activities, staying up until the wee hours of the morning, and hanging out in hotel rooms part at least.

You've picked some great cities there... I think you could get a crowd for any of them.

QFBoy, here's a hint: post a place, date, with a one liner saying something like "FT_pal_o_mine and I are going to be <insert activity here>. Anyone else interested?"
If you will check other threads in community, it seems to work for lots of other Gatherings and Dos.

If you expand it to a range including those born on Sept. 19th, I'm in.

They won't include an heretic such as yourself. Really, imagine, you're born FOUR DAYS TOO LATE. Both both of you could attend the Scorpio-only do. Damn, it was easier when everyone was welcome

Hey, no need to pick on the OP.

I'm out of the target group myself, by several months, but I'm cutting him some slack.

No need to brag about your youth... we got to see how much better you looked than the rest of us in SYD.

Not to worry, there's going to be a DO on Sept 15 at...Flat Top. Extra whipped cream promised if you'll allow those of us not born on 15Sept to join the two of you.

The 15th? I'll BE there on the 15th.

(Seriously though, we need to do dinner - unless the whole FT crew wants to hear me speak at the Hyatt around lunchtime. )

Could always do both -- that way FTers can do one or both, whichever works for their schedule(s) You know how we hate to get together around here

Whilst we're at it why not have a Do where all the men are over 35 and all the women are under 25. We could call it Lechery Do.

Of course the women are free to hold their own Toyboy Do.

Seriously though, IMO it's often tough enough to get significant numbers for a Do without restricting it by age.
