The only ball cap I noticed was on the tall guy by the tree in the green shirt. I arrived 2:50, looked inside, then stood outside, gray t-shirt, full beard, sunglasses, black pants, boots... Hope to meet you another time!

The resturant chosen for Saturday night sounds interesting. Anyone interested in attending the Saturday night dinner? If you are I know one other interested person. So we could have two for sure.

I can tell you that Anamandara is UNBELIEVEABLE! I have eaten there many times, and if I lived in SFO, I would eat there a couple of times per month, I am sure.

Thanks, is this resturant in the food court with Just Desserts arounds the gates 80s ?
The pan-Asian place and the bread place really looked good. Actually very impressed with the offerings at SFO, even better than the T5 LHR.
So then anybody else interested? Any time best? To recognize eachother we could be holding out elite status card or favorate airline FF credit card.
Let me know.
We could do it after the BigMuscle event say 7 or 8PM, or maybe 9PM?

OK. I'm flying in Sunday morning. Since there will be thousands of people there, I'll fasten my flyertalk luggage tag onto my skimpy outfit.
Seriously, did all the organized events fall through?

What fall through? ALMOST (maybe 6 or 7 people total, and not for the same events) no one was willing or able to commit to any of the organized events.

the op was not able to go to SFO
I give up.... maybe next time people can include their MH or A4A names or send pic of themselves naked to spice things up, or perhaps this section of FT could find a sponsor for a stripper or something to ensure attendance. I don't think that miles are going to cut it, we need whips, chains and mega inches to enforce some discipline!

Gay men do seem to have trouble committing to much of anything, as I stated quite a while ago. I was disappointed that nothing came of this. If I would have been able to go to SFO, I did want to meet up with a large group of you. Alas, it was not meant to be.

Hope y'all have fun in SF.
Too bad the dinner was such a circular shoot out.
Sometimes(most often) the best route is to pick a reasonable course of action and stick with that plan.If folks show up that is great,if not-their loss.

The 60 or so mostly gay FTers who regularly attend Wireless' and BigGuy's events in SFO might be surprised to learn that they can't commit.
