So, for out-of-towners coming to the Do, what would you like to see and do while here?? With 6 weeks to plan, we should start pulling things together soon.

Actually, I would really like to get to tour Phoenix and get to know more than just which exit off 101 I am supposed to get off at. There are several parks around town - perhaps a picknick somewhere?

There's Lost Dutchman State Park near Apache Junction, but that might be too far of a drive...

The Sheraton Crescent Hotel is having a weekend promo (code LTOAUG06) untill October 27 for $75++.
I will not be able to make it as I will be heading up a volunteer project at the bottom of the Grand Canyon that week.
Celebrate the changing of the season with great weekend rates from just $75 per night at the Sheraton Crescent Hotel.
This autumn, explore Phoenix and enjoy cooler weather and great rates. Simply arrive on a Thursday, Friday, or Saturday between August 31, 2006 and October 27, 2006, to take advantage of this Special Limited Time Offer. This offer must be booked by Friday, September 1, 2006.
You can make a mattress run out of it and alternate with the nearby Four Points by Sheraton Phoenix Metrocenter for $89++ (AAA or AARP rate).This autumn, explore Phoenix and enjoy cooler weather and great rates.

Is it possible that we can get an update on the proceedings and planning stages of the DO within the next week or two? As it stands at the current moment, I'm straddling between having to miss out on certain parts depending on when things are scheduled and not being able to make it at all.

gfowler, know that those hotels are a good 20+ miles from the airport. FWIW.
The park with the hole in the rock is Papago Park. About 2 miles from Sky Harbor property.
In addition to meals, what else would folks like to see/do? Mrp Alert, I will log your request.

I have sent my requests via PM to Milage Addict - I am sure that he will post a schedule shortly

I've been meaning start attending selected DOs, so...if only for the fact that I have the enviable position of being able to hop on an airplane to PHX at a moment's notice for free, and as such, I may attend. 
I'll probably be a last minute confirmation based on my personal availability and flight availability, so please don't rely on my attendance for any seat/spot allocation purposes, although be aware that I may just swoop in after all.

I have emailed a few of the PHX folks on this board in hopes of getting some help with organizing a Saturday evening dinner. Stay tuned!
