OK, so here's the plan, I guess: 
Saturday, May 24th:
7:30 (or so)-9:45pm: Bear Tooth-Do for whoever can make it
10:15pm-11:00pm: Lobby-Do (near the UA ticket counter...unfortunately, not much landside at ANC) with anc-ord772 and FlyinHawaiian
And then we have folks arriving in early May, mid-May, a few days after y'all are here, and also in June, too...my DO calendar is busy!

I think the lobby do is more like 10pm - that's when Seeya and I planned to get there to meet FIH (we figure from gate to outside isn't that far) ... do we want to meet them behind security though if its more comfortable? That only works if there is a way to get Seeya back through.
There's nothing really behind security in the A concourse where United is, too.
There's always my office in the rental facility (nicer chairs), but it's a little cramped for more than, say, three or four people! (And only three chairs...)
If we could all somehow get behind security in the B/C concourse, we could all do drinks at Chili's, but they may not let people with UA tickets behind security (and FIH doesn't have same-day departure tickets, does he?).

Thanks all for the heads up PMs!
I'm on the late shift arriving in ANC @ 9:30 PM (UA 701) and departing on the 11:50 PM to SFO so I guess dinner is a no go for me that is unless.....
some of you early shifters wanna do take out for us less fortunate FTers
so, I guess I'm in for the Lobby DO ^
looking forward to seeing y'all in ANC and later at SFO (where boxo is threatening to make an appearance
)

Wow! Such a great effort for a quick hello - this is awesome. ^
As has been mentioned in this thread, I am on UA 701 DEN-ANC on 5/24; it sounds like a few others will be as well. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone!
p.s. Which side of the plane should I sit for better views into ANC?

Oh, and no p.s. service up here!
(Though I did fly on a subbed p.s. once from LAX to SEA, I think...too bad it didn't continue to ANC...)

Well, I am coming in on May 24th at 9:30 on 701 and turning around on 1046 at 11:50... so I don't know if people are trying to meet between then.
I doubt its worth it to head down to mooses tooth for that short a time, but yeah pretty much what jackal said, maybe a lobby DO.
Lemme know.

So while making it into town is probably out, I'm definitely in for a nightcap with you and FlyinHawaiian! ^

There is going to be a meet of some sort at the airport, likely outside security as SeeYa and Bob W (he can get to a lounge though) won't have tix at that time. I think there is a post about a new bar/restaurant that might be available. A lot of people are on your inbound flight, some are staying, and others just doing a turn. I'm joining at that point to return to DEN.

Is the bar/restaurant to which you refer the same one as the one mentioned in the consolidated thread:

btw, my UA flight to DEN is at 11.17pm based in my itineraries, you mentioned 11.50 above, is that a different flight? (forget this - I just realized you're on the SFO nonstop, and I'm doing the DEN hop to get to SFO)

Are you on my JFK flight as well? I believe there are quite a few of us connecting to the same ps flight back to ny (my itin is not open, so I'm not sure of which flight I'm on).

Unlikely unless your flight is full and they are willing to offload you in advance. Doesn't hurt to ask, especially at smaller stations, you can really luck out.
