However, I will add my voice to those who also would love to attend, are unable to, and hope/request that another meetup can occur in the (hopefully near) future. I would love to meet mbwmbw, MSPeconomist, and all of the wonderful FTers on this forum.

I will be organizing (not hosting - yes, you'll have to pay your own way) a get together in downtown SF for Bay Area residents active on the DL SkyMiles forum. If you're in the SF Bay Area (or willing to fly in) and interested please let me know. I'll send out a PM and update this thread (thanks PRWeezer) with details. My guess is the event will occur in late February.

Additional details will be posted soon.

Regards,

mbwmbw

If you do not see your name on one of the lists below, please update the thread if you can attend during these dates. If the probability is greater than not (for attending) please state that you can. Check back frequently. Once we get some attendee input, I'd like to select a bar and place to eat. Then I'll ask for attendance at each event, but most importantly the dinner, especially if we will need to make reservations.

Congratulations!
Where are you moving to?
Have you arranged visas/residency overseas if necessary?

Congrats! I live in a city that probably has probably more weddings than anywhere else in the world. Haha, but seriously, it seems like I know of 6 to 10 people each semester that get engaged, so I know how busy and crazy marriage preparations can be.

Also, I don't know what it takes to arrange one of these meetups or where a good location would be. Perhaps you should ask someone who isn't a 23 year old kid and still in school Again, I hope another meetup like this can happen soon. For me personally, the sooner I know, the better. Still wish I could go to this one.

My fiancee's cousins went to BYU, and they were all younger than us when they got married (we're 26). I'm assuming that's where you're in school in SLC.

I also don't know if I'm "qualified" to plan one of these either, but I'd be happy to pitch in for planning/organizing if I could.

Is there yet a location for the Friday night and Saturday stuff or should I just assume that the lack of details means that this has been cancelled?
