Found a new place for our next IAH mini DO, Stella Sola. It's Italian with a little bit of a Texas kick.

They age, smoke, and salt their own meats, make their own pasta, and make altogether awesome food.

Dear onlyairfare

You'll be sorry you wondered in here. :D

Welcome to The Box.

Oh poop! East German judges never give US contenders a 10, so I feel pretty good about that.:D

Oh yes. onlyairfare fit right in here from jump street. ^

She has a point. You may well become a regular here and end up flying all over the world just to get drunk with same handful of people. :D

That reads like a great party to me:-:

Indeed. ^

I still need to meet the Boxers. Been traveling too much for work to leave Mrs. bdj or little miss bdj to hop off to EWR or Teh Pit.

Anyone have a recommendation for PHL airport parking? I was Googling for coupons and could not remember what The Box held as the consensus choice.

Thanks for the warm welcome!

I think I will not regret entering The Box. I'm just returning to CO elite after many years' absence, probably since they closed the CO hub in Denver. So I will need advice. Gotta be sure I hit 50K by Dec 31.

Speaking of - there seem to be many Hyatt possibilities next weekend. I was going to do HP Mt. Laurel (near PHL) but now considering HR New Brunswick (due to suite upgrade / diamond amenity) or HR Princeton.

You don't even need to be a CO Elite around here. ;)

The lions in their Hyatt Dens tremble at the Professor's approach!^

HR Princeton is home to the famed Catch a Rising Star comedy club. Mt. Laurel is wonderfully close to Philly, but if you can score an upgrade and/or amenity, why not?

I believe I already have a great start. I just did BooDoo and Star Mega DO back to back. met several of you, which is how/why I decided to drop in.

Gotta get up and dance right now - "Born to Run" with Bruce and Billy Joel!
