    Similar to you, I’ve been a CO person, so a *A person. But I’ve come to enjoy the gatherings and the people I’ve met on various Do’s, and that counts a lot towards the addiction.

    Welcome to it!

    Probably not the robe, however if we do upgrade to the 777 I may have to pull out the pajamas Thursday night for the flight to Boeing

    Having just forked over the $ for MegaDo #3, I think I'm an addict too. This time I can't even use the excuse that I "need" the EQMs since AA isn't really that useful to me...

    I even managed to recruit a newbie this time (who has gotten tired of my MegaDo stories and wants to see it for himself).

    Acknowledgement is the first step towards more Do’s! :)

    I’ve had a hankering for the Cow-Do, since I’ve never been to BA, for quite a while.

    The next time you take her on a holiday, you do do that yes?, on miles instead of funds, and get the free breakfasts and internet, along with the nicer room, you can tell her to stay at the Motel 6 instead. Now how’s that for marital advice?! :eek:

    I hear you brother anonymous. I've only been on one Do, SMD3 -- but I feel that burning desire to do more Dos...

    As long as you never tell her your handle, she’ll get nothing out of me. ;) Just make sure she doesn’t secretly put any keyboard capture software on your home ‘puter.:eek:

    +1.
    OWMD is my first MegaDo, as well, and I can already sense the addiction setting in. Haven't been to other Dos (unless the OWMD launch party counts), but many sound interesting and will certainly be on my radar for 2012.

    I've been to mini-DOs before but this will be my first one, too.

    I was so upset to miss out on the Star MD3 that I knew I had to participate in this one though I rarely fly OW. It will be great to meet the other crazies. :D

    I have done two Dos - First one was FTUniversity, then SMD3. I am booked for the Kiva Do (PLEASE ATTEND!) and the Austin TX Do. I would have signed up for OWMD, but I know that will be a very busy work month for me!

    :confused: I've read so much about DOs over at FlyerTalk, and now here... Can I self-invite? :D

    Would really like to attend the OneWorld MegaDo in 2012.. Where can I find information on it?

    P/S: This is my first post on MilePoint. Love the look and feel of this forum board! And the smileys are cute! :D

    Welcome to MP. All Do’s are basically self-invites. It can seem a little intimidating at first, when you don’t know anyone. I felt that way on the first DO’s I attended, and, especially on my first Mega Do. Don’t worry about it. Most folks are friendly and you’ll meet some terrific folks. Familiarity, usually without the contempt, will grow and you’ll feel right at home.

    Find a DO that interests you, whether FT or MP and just let them know you’ll be coming. And let them know you’re new to the game. Most of the info on DO’s is in the Community forums. As for OWMD in 2012, that’s already sold out with a waiting list. Some have already shifted from waiting list to participant, and if you’d like to give it a shot,start a conversation with Tommy777 and Pizzaman and ask if you can join the wait list.

    Dont’ fear the waters and just dive in! :)

    You can also take part in some of the other forums that are basically just gatherings: Good M/A/E in the Community Forum, Teh Penalty Box in the United forum does center in more on UA and CO while also being about what each of us is up to. You’ll meet folks you’ll see on DO’s there and in other ones.

    Again, welcome. I look forward to seeing you on one of my addictions! :rolleyes:
