From what I gathered from some of the posts, people were planning on taking later-in-the-day flights.

Again, I'm fine either way. If we'd like to plan something for Friday before the DO IV (dinner, drinks?) I can put together a list of places.

And some won't arrive into IAH until late on Friday and we'll all be out at the airport for the Friday-night part of the party and also probably will want to get up at a reasonable hour to be ready for the events on Saturday, which can start early.

I have no problem just heading back to the airport after the Friday night bit and leveraging a few PC memberships and drinking on CO's dime (and a couple rolls of dollar coins for tipping), but I don't know that a 30 minute drive to go drinking and then driving back makes a ton of sense.

Good point.

On Sunday, traffic is easy, there are FTers who would offer rides, and there are drinks served at all of the breakfast places (and not just mimosas and bellinis).

The Friday night event likely will go past the close of the P Clubs, in any case.

Plus there is the Pre-Do Drink and Meet in the PC in the afternoon on Friday. We have to make sure that we dont double up on the chances to drink. Spread out the drinking throughout the evening. The longer the better!

I can help get people into the terminal for drinks!

+1, I plan on a weekend of drunkeness with either you guys or friends from back home anyways.

Because I'll still be in Vegas ;)

Are you still in the news field with the new job? If so why not make this an event the station wants to cover then you can enjoy the event and make money without taking off!

I was thinking of flying in Friday afternoon. I may take the boltbus from NYC departs at 730 and arrives in Phila at 930 and then book a 12:05 pm flight to houston. Is this a good idea? I dont want to be late and miss my flight.

I have never taken the boltbus before so I dont know how reliable they are.

Count us in for rides. We can shuttle to brunch and then back to the airport.

Perhaps you could teleconference in from the LAS PC to the Friday night event!

I was thinking of doing the same thing. Let me know if you pull the trigger and Ill do it too.

The E PC closes at 11:30. No better way to Do the DO than close down the PC two nights in a row (if we go there again!).

I turn 42 this week so I resemble this remark :eek:

Brunch involves drinking - that is what makes it very box like.

We plan on arriving around 2pm on Friday and departing around 4pm on Sunday. I will probably rent a car, so I can offer rides to Box members needing a lift.
