Enjoyed the view from the tower, but sorry we didn't get to see szg bungee jump!
Thanks for putting together a fabulous weekend! I'll upload the Donauturum pics while at the airport, but the Austrian Air day will probably have to wait until my return to the U.S.
Cheers.

^A great big congratulations and thank you to the organizers of the DO. This was one fantastic weekend and I believe everything went off successfully. The food was good, the company great, and Vienna is a lovely city which you all helped us appreciate.
Looking forward to seeing some at the upcoming StarMegaDo-2. There may still be open seats so still time to sign up;
cheers

Thank you to szg and f0zzyNUE and all others who assisted in arranging this do.
We have had a wonderful weekend, enjoying and getting to know Vienna.
It's been wonderful to have the pleasure of catching up with many who we have met before and meeting many others for the first time.
We are looking forward to future Do's, events and related times.

I almost had a perfect ending to the Do.My flight was oversold & they were looking for volunteers. They offered a flight out tomorrow, a hotel tonight, and 200Euros.If it wasn't that my flight back to the US was in the morning I would have taken it, but I couldn't make the timing work so alas, no go for me.
However, I suppose I did have a perfect ending to the Do! This is probably the only time you'll ever see these tags on my luggage:

Had a lot of fun
I'm back again in STR 
and I like to thank szg, f0zzyNUE and LFCorsten for the interesting schedule of the Do and the very good organization. Thank your for a exciting day at the Vienna Airport and with Austrian Airlines. I learned a lot and had fun with the escape slide. ^
The Schnitzel Buffet was tasty, the location excellent and the company of the flyertalkers really great.
Thank you, Sharon, for sharing your wonderful photos with us.
It was my first FT Do and it was a pleasure meeting such nice people like you. ^
Hope to see you at another Do.

Glad you made it to the brunch but I don't envy you the bill To Market To Market will have run up shopping by the time you're back at ground level. 
As we head toward the boat to Bratislava we thank our fellow DO participants for making it a wonderful and memorable weekend. Safe and happy travels to all.
And to the tireless DO organizers, you did a brilliant job and managed to look like you were still enjoying yourselves while herding us all about - grace under pressure indeed and we can't thank you enough for arranging such a fantastic event. ^ ^

important
Well at least to me. continuing in my infamous tradition of leaving something wherever I go, I have left something of immense importance to myself in the little B&B I stayed in besides the IC, Kudos to them for being so honest, as well as sentimental value,its worth a bit
,
If any kind soul is still in Vienna, and wouldnt mind a shortwalk to a hotel near the Opera to pick it up and bring it State side,we can organise something, I would be EXTREMELY grateful
, or not even USA, just to collect and keep it safe for me
if any one knows someone who is still in Vienna, could they please draw their attention to this, ^
ps- They have my wallet in DEN ^ Picking that up this week
and sorted out my girls flights , thsnks UA ^
thanks organisers I will write more DO awesomeness stuff, when I get thru this drama
