For those who haven't noticed yet, Gargoyle (a.k.a. Mr. Gargoyle and Evangelist Gargoyle) did a fantastic job of consolidating, editing, and ordering our questions for Delta executives. See the new post #2 in the thread.

General question for the organizers: Which specific events will require us to go through airport-style security checks? Obviously the Walk a Mile with ACS, but anything else on other days? I'm asking because I like to be sure to wear heavy socks and easy to remove shoes every time I must remove my shoes for security. I also like to minimize metal so that it's less likely that I'll lose something or leave it behind when I must remove it for the metal-detector.

Can an all plaid wardrobe be considered fashion sense?

I'm not even sure an all plaid wardrobe can be considered sense(able).

Only small bits of tasteful plaid/madras. That's how you can "Spot the Vuelos"
That is very true

A reminder to Hilton Gold members that you should get lounge access even if you are not upgraded to the executive floor. You should confirm your access at check-in. I don't think I need to build a list for the Hilton, as this is their normal policy.
I am still building the list for late check-outs. Please let me know by PM as soon as you can if you want one. I know the schedule is still not quite settled. I hope this will be done soon, so we can get everything in place. 3 PM check-outs are available without charge or limit, 6 PM check-outs are available for $40 without limit, and I still have 3 check-outs at 5 PM for $25 available.
Should my 5 PM check-outs be over subscribed, I will keep a wait list due to the uncertainty about event ending times on Saturday and Sunday.
Remember your benefits as a registered guest using the FT rate include free parking and free Internet access.

A couple of folks asked if I was building a list of Hilton Gold members to ensure they get lounge access. It probably isn't necessary, but if you like you can PM me your confirmation number and registered name and I will add it to my list of Hilton Gold members.
I know there is still some uncertainty about event times. I hope these get finalized soon.
Thank you!
