So I'm fairly new to the area, having moved here back in September. Nonetheless, I've noticed that there is a fairly decent sized MSP contingent here on FT. Add that to the fact that it looks like there hasn't been a MSP DO for a while (and won't be one until MikeMpls's WN-DO in March, I was thinking, what better way to pass a cold Minnesota night than getting together for dinner with some FTers (since there seems to be a large contingent of them on FT)?

I'm pretty open with weekday evenings the rest of the year (except Thanksgiving week and Christmas week), so maybe some others want to get together for dinner one night? As I said, I'm pretty new to the area and don't really know any great choices yet, but feel free to suggest some dates and places and let's see if we can get something going.

I'd be game Lets see if we can get this rolling.

I *think* I may be in MSP weekend of 12-14 December. (((Brrrr!)))

I "may" be in MSP that weekend too

I will be in 21-26 of December at the Sofitel as per the usual each year. If anyone wants to meet up then. Le tme know.

That's the one weekend I'm not traveling the rest of the year, so it would work fine for me.

Terrific! That makes at least three of us! I've started a thread for that weekend, so this one can be kept as a "master" MSP get-together line.

It'll be nice to see you again & chat for more than 30 secs, mersk862. (I spotted you & your FT tag at SFO in May.)

Yeah - it will definitely be nice to catch up again - I'm looking forward to it!
