your destination with ease.

Ticket bought. Sweet

Sorry I'm not available that weekend, but should be a great event!

Yeah, I can't be there that weekend -- will be in Thailand. My flight from Asia gets back into LAX on 12/7, so the previously mentioned dates would have worked out.

Yeah, I'm sorry we had to move the date. All hotels in the area were pretty much full the originally planned weekend.

Looking forward to hear you speak in April!

Hmmm. I was planning to take my mom to Maui the week before, so I can just stop in LAX on the way back. Perfect!

Have fun all! The FTUs are great events - sorry I'll miss this one!

Crap! I will be visiting the Mouse in Orlando that weekend. I hope to see everyone at the spring fling FTU next year.

I'll have to see if I can squeeze it in without causing a divorce....following on the heels of SMD and a week in Cabo!
I'm thinking, yes, though. Wish I could get the other half to come with me....

Sweet. I'll buy the ticket tonight (need to meet spend on a CC and I left it at home).

I'm local, so will likely skip on the hotel ... unless there's an awesome SPG promo that will apply to these stays.

+1 . Bought the ticket.

It's about time y'all moved this out of suburban Chicago! Just booked it!

FYI: The SPG link will not allow me to use with my SPG login to populate the fields and use my credit card on my profile. Not a big deal but please make note. Tried it with firefox, chrome, and ie.

Will defly consider this--of course need to run it by the Prime Minister (da wife) first heheh.

UPDATE: put my flights on hold at least

carsonheim and opsprof are all signed up and ready to go! wooo hoooooooooooo!

YAY! We'll see you there!~

The Chicago event is run by a different group of people.

This one has previously been held in Flushing, Queens and Rutherford, NJ.

It's about time we move this thing to a place with good weather

Booked. My first time attending an FF get-together. Looking forward to meeting you all!

Waiting for the FTU to move permanently to LAS.

Ha ha you and me both! That would be super fun. Come on Tommy, make it happen.

Haha, Randy actually said that he wanted to move it to LAS. Too bad we will be missing you at this FTU.

that would save me on lodging and car rental fees---inlaws live there ! hehehe

A university in LAS? I'd be tempted to always skip class.

AND, you will never have a problem again getting approval from the Prime Minister, as I am sure she wouldn't mind tagging along to see her folks.
