Unless prices drop immensely ANC-AUS (AUS Do :D)... I should be in town too and hopefully can meet & greet too ^

Sounds good . . . keep us posted. I will be at the race to photograph teams out and back . . . probably on 4th Ave. due to some logistics issues and not really sure where the best place from a photographer's point of view to be. I definitely want to be on 4th for the finish as the top teams come home to the finish line. With the reverse start, I think it's possible to do the starts . . . go out on the course . . . and come back to 4th Ave. but I'm not sure.

Any personal insight or suggestions would be helpful. (We will have a rental car to get around town as necessary.)

As far as Avatar, I would definitely be up for another viewing in XD 3D this weekend, but we can talk about that tomorrow night.

Wow!

I am now addicted to Avatar I think :eek: :cool:

Amazing!

Party starts at 7:30pm. Bob has welcomed anyone who wants to come by earlier to drop by any time after 6pm.

I will most likely be there between 6:30 and 7:00.

Hope to see as many of you show up as possible! If you're a last-minute joinee, PM BOB W to let him know you'll be coming. Might not be enough beef for ya (especially since beckoa will be there :p), but you're welcome to come for the company, drinks, and any crumbs that fall out of beckoa's mouth... ;)

The list of dishes being brought by attendees has been updated. Check the first post on page 1 for details.

I was wondering where the trail of food crumbs was coming from that was around BOB W's residence (btw thank you BOB W for the kind invite to the New Year festivities, much appreciated)

FYI, UA/CO NYC-ANC is suddenly pricing out at $488 ai for this weekend. (2 connections, but still doable)

Wow. $488 from the east coast...and $700 from PDX. I think that will preclude wsucougarchick05's attendance. :(

Yes, sadly, the PDX pricing will preclude me. Why oh WHY must AS have a monopoly on the PDX-ANC route?

That and I have a final at 10 a.m. the Monday morning after the Do. I don't think my professor would like it too much if I showed up somewhat intoxicated (this is a FT Do...don't tell me there won't be alcohol...I know how much wine jackal and Bob W purchased when they were down here for the Pre-SeaDoo Wine Tour ;)) and extremely tired. LOL

...question is... how much is left?

Sounds like BOB W might be out, so we'll have to hunker down on jackal's supply... rumor is he's been going crazy at Costco lately :p

If my memory serves me correctly, jackal bought more than BOB W. ;)

I just know that there was a lot of wine in the trunk of my car and I really started freaking out when the Sheraton temporarily lost my car.

Hmm... well he recently had to restock... guess you'll have to come up and visit to see what jackal's cellar consists of :p
