Meetup: San Francisco, Seattle and Los Angeles February 11th, 12th and 13th

I would love to attend the SFO meet but I don't think I can attend the whole day. Would there be any issues if I attend only a portion of the afternoon session?

EDIT: Oops, I just saw someone else ask the same question and I read through and saw that we don't have to commit to the entire workshop! I'm tentative at the moment.

Looks like I'm a highly likely for Sunday SFO

Would love to go, but I'll probably wound up being more of a burden than an asset.

I am looking forward to see the ideas, discussions, and strategies from the sessions being implemented here to make this site the #1 go to place for all things miles/travel.

Have a good time everyone!

One goal I have for this site that I would like to mention... I want MP to become a source where people can discover a wealth of knowledge about miles and traveling... Not a site where people go to whine about everything, which really brings no value to the community and is annoying for most of us...

It is okay for people to discuss issues and frustration too see why those things happen and strategize on how we can minimize those issues, rather than b*tch and moan with no reinforcing constructive discussion...

So, if someone can bring this up or keep this in mind when you are brainstorming that would be cool!

Enjoy the sessions

as I mentioned in the meetup thread...anyone driving form SF to SFO on SATURDAY?

Good morning from the SFO crew!

Good morning everyone at SFO!

Good morning from LA meeting!

Let me also add my welcome. We're getting some great input from LAX. 20 Milepointers in attendance.

ATL representing. Next we need an East Coastie Contentathon.

Yes, but as we know, "As goes California, so goes the Nation" so it is important that we be heard out here first, because we are the most influential members, even if everyone else is in denial

Great, do you have any advice on state budget deficits? (Ooh, low blow. So Sorry. )

Just got back from dinner after the SFO gathering today. We went to a wonderful Italian restaurant, great food, good conversation, excellent company, and overall fabulous night. Big, big thanks to Randy for buying tonight!

Agreed! Great to meet everyone who participated in the LA meeting.

Oi, I was drawn from the hat - Thanks! (even though it was a Yankees hat )

Any chance of knowing which posts it was that made these people the winners - what makes a good post?

Yay I won something

It was great meeting everyone on Saturday, sorry I had to run out so soon after you arrived Tommy and missed dinner

Woo Hoo! I wonder if I can use it to buy Via to take with me on the plane?
