I had a great time at dinner both Friday & Saturday, and the IC mini-bar parties were wonderful as well. Thanks to Lucky, Wireless, and all the participants! ^

Glad to hear that violist made his way back to the East Bay OK.... ;)

Wow, that was fun. And not quite over for me yet, as I VDB'd off LAX-DEN and am flying home tomorrow early. ;)

Many many thanks to lucky and wireless for their efforts, and kalkat for the sublime deck party (I now understand why it filled up so fast ;)). Pretty sure those chocolate cookies should be on the Schedule 1 narcotic list. :D

Off to quickly write down names and handles before they all escape my mini-bar addled brain... ;)

Dear all

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

...those mini-bar parties! ^^^

And let me pile on with my thanks to Lucky and Wireless for again putting together a GREAT Do!

And also a most special thanks to Kalkat for the Deck Do!

While on that subject, I have to relate a most unbelievable coincidence: On the ferry ride back to SF, I randomly struck up a conversation with a non-FTer who turned out to be the real estate agent who sold mr. & mrs. Kalkat
their fantastic home!

It ain't over yet. Will meet Wiremess soon.. :D :D

Here are some pictures from Mrs. Edlin303 and myself.

Day1
Day2

Thanks again to all. We had a great time at our first DO.
Thanks lucky and wireless for all the planning.
Thanks KalKat (and Mr KalKat) for the great deck party, and wonderful orzo.
Thanks SFOGate for setting up the GG tour.
Thanks N334AA and Benny for hosting the first half of Firday's party, and Lucky for hosting the remainder.

We enjoyed meeting so many great people, and can't wait to see more of the pictures. Meanwhile, if we decide to try planning the DO we mentiond to a few people, we will post here looking for interested parties.

Thanks Lucky and Wireless. Had a great time.

Thank you Lucky and Wireless. Wish I had attended all the events, I only did Friday night's dinner.

Lucky and Wireless, thanks so much for everything. Your organization and participation were awesome! I hope to see everyone again soon.

BTW I caught a bug too - my throat started closing up during Folsom and I developed a cough just in time for the redeye. Get better soon!
