a Charleston, SC DO???
So, I just had a random thought.....I live here in this beautiful city and since i travel so much and spend my spare time on FT, I have yet to see some of the real sites around here.....Did I mention I have been living here 3 years.....so I said to myself: "Self, why don't you host a DO and invite your friends that you spend so much time with on that D*** website....."
So with that thought in mind, would anyone be interested in joining a fellow FT addict for a CHARLESTON, SC DO??????

We have always wanted to visit Charleston and would make a serious effort to attend if we were available. We went to Greenville a couple of weeks ago and we loved it.
Do you think you could wait until October? We don't do heat very well.

Is the OP ready to propose a date?

I'll second that, I live in CAE!
My problem with CHS is that the carriage rides have horses which, well, you know, "go"... mixed with 95F+ weather... Oye caramba!

Walking around outside and exploring is half the fun of visiting a new city, and we Seattleites don't do well in temperatures over 80. Therefore, we tend to stay home in the summer or contain our visits to places like Vancouver, San Francisco, or Anchorage which share similar cool summers.
We don't do well in the cold either. We are such whimps.

I retreat to the pac northwest, bellevue and the san juans in the summer to visit my family out in Washington! I would LOVE to host a fall DO but I am on the road from Sep 10-November 15th......I know the summers are god awful hot but that is my free time 
So, let me propose a few time frames
1) a Charleston BEACH DO! June 15th. 2008?
2) a Charleston CHRISTMAS DO December 2008?
3) a Charleston Spring DO- March 2009?
Ya'll tell me!
