Anyway, I will try to get off work early and make the pre-dinner BR meetup. Unfortunately, my +1 will not be able to make it for either event.
But she will be sporting some fine footwear tomorrow

Yet again, another fun evening with everyone. ^

On a side note, I had to explain the whole theory of mileage runs to my wife on the drive out to the valley. She thought the whole idea was a bit strange. However, you have to remeber that with the travel I was doing, I wasn't in a postion to need to do a MR.

I'm still adjusting from the traveling all the time to almost no travel these days. It's kind of werid being out of the FF game right now. I'm not totally out, I still have a ton of miles to use for awards.

...unless you wanted to combine the two: do dinner at the Double Musky in Girdwood (spectacular Cajun-influenced food) or one of the other good restaurants down there and turn it into a DO! I'm sure an ANC FTer or two (or even some of the Girdwood-based FTers we have!) would be thrilled to join you there. I sure would if I weren't going to be 2,500 miles away!

Post back with your ideas/plans and I'll update the thread as needed.

beckoa would love meeting BOB W on the 21st since the New York bagels he can have in his suitcase would still be warm and fresh.

Take good notes. We will be reading them in real time. Too bad MD won't be there. We'll have to do a massive party in October
