I have always wanted an excuse to visit BEY.

If you're planning to turn this into an official "do" then I would be very interested in attending.

B ;)

OK, sorry was out enjoying beautiful Lebanon this weekend, and trawling around lots of bars, so have been away from my PC for some time...great to see this thread onto page two already.

- first of all, yes I am here late march, so you all post your itins, and we'll stick some events (eg drinks and meals) into the calendar.

- secondly..any 'do' is official in my mind, regardless of how many attend.. so if others are reading this, and want to join in, then pipe up and post.. that's the point of this thread, an on-going social event...all welcome (just be ready for great food, alcohol, tiny smoke-filled venues and loud party people)

- more importantly, meriem and I are getting together Wed 22 in Solidere for a drink, so BEYFlyer can you make it 7.30 ish ? Call me to check where exactly we are.

cheers !

Well then, come on over... Just as GK mentioned, any gathering becomes official no matter how many of us attend. It seems we already have a good number of people for that weekend.

Hope to see you then. PM me if you have any questions.

Well, come on down! If I can drag myself all the way to Glasgow along a two-connection itinerary for a DO, you can come to Beirut (it will probably be easier!)... ;)

When are you guys thinking of hold this 'do'? I am sure that I could drag a certain other FTer along as well depending on our collective work requirements at the time.

Just realised that mid March is the suggested date which is when I am in HKG again.

Anyone up for a second 'Do'?

GK - It would be good to finally meet you!

well, just name the date when you can get here.. this thread is not specific to one event.. but ongoing

I am there March 24-28, so is alex0683de.

I just think about which restaurant i fancy for sat 25th...
Hmmm , what about Zinc?
Asia ( roof top) would be nice too...

Well, BEYFlyer, where's hip to go in March?
Pre drink : Club Social is nice, or Torrino?

Actually, I'm there from the 18th to the 26th. Maybe a little longer, we'll see.

Seems to me that BEY is on the route between the Bali DO and the World Cup in Germany. :)

Have to spend a few days somewhere in the world the first week of June and it could just as easy be BEY as anywhere else.

Let me know within a week or so on whether you know if you guys are going to be around as I'm going to be attempting to book a oneworld award that encompasses both Bali and Germany with points in between.

magic111 you are more than welcome here anytime you like. We should be around at that time...at least I know I will. June is the start of our glorious summer season and the wonderful tradition of just lounging around the pools of Beirut, drinking all kinds of stuff and enjoying the "views", so do stop over if you can.

Yeahhh....

its like that magic111 !

magic111 you know you are always welcome to drop by.. we will be here. shame you'll miss sean's first art show (first two weeks of may)

anyhow.. BEYFlyer, sean and I had dinner last night and agreed the following..

Fri Mar 24 - kick off with Drinks at our new place, with light snacks, then off into the bars and clubs.. so bring duty free vodka.

Sat Mar 25 - dinner will be arranged somewhere suitably stylish.. just need to get a handle on numbers

In meantime, shall edit first post in this thread with these plans.

Imagine that shortly your home will look like our home: ie a gallery of the resident artist. So seems likely that it should be possible to see his works hanging.

Jerrie said to tell Sean that if he comes to the London DO the two of them can ditch all the ****** FTers and go on a photo shoot. :D

Will inform you of my transit dates (if possible on the award) next week after booking.

i think you need to bring jerrie to beirut.. the golden mediterranean light is fantastic. our new apartment is so large that one wing will be devoted to displaying sean's work ;)
