| FLIBS 2006 Meet-up
Hey Carl, I was just wondering if you'd planned on anything for FLIBS in two months, any kind of informal meet-up for all the regulars... maybe one evening, or something. I'm really hoping to get down this year, but nothing's concrete yet. But given the membership of this board, it's obvious a good portion of the contributors (and likely many readers) will already be there., so I thought it would be interesting to meet, put faces and voices to names etc.

Absolutely! Let's do this!
My schedule's flexible, with the exception of Thursday. I have to work the entire day.
Maybe we should ask members to decide the best day & time. The most convenient time & place for everyone to meet will probably be on one of the beer barges during show hours. There's one barge that is generally not too crowded. It's located on the north (temporary) docks where they connect the Hall of Fame Marina to the docks under the Las Olas bridge, along the intracoastal.
My guess is a late Friday afternoon get together would work best for those in the industry, where as our friends who are flying in might opt for a Saturday/Sunday rendezvous?

That's why I brought it up now, well in advance, so you could give everyone interested time to chime in and have the best chance to sort out a time & date that works for the most people.

Kevin,
It might be a little early with Monaco coming up, but I've moved this thread into the General Discussion.
Some of the magazines, like Yachts International, have Invitiation Only parties that are professionally catered. Wouldn't it be hilarious is a bunch of people showed up at the beer barge for YachtForums!  | |

Sounds like the party is on Curt C. LoL Actually Ken, a tour sounds great.
Friday or Saturday works for me (keep in mind that it's not as crowded on Friday as on the weekend days). If we could get a yacht to sponsor a get together for an hour or three, we could have our own invitation-only bash. Then again the beer barge sounds relaxing. I'm in either way. See you all there.
Carl, you working the show?

Hi,
I am hoping to make it to FLIBS this year, I was booked last year then cried off when I was told how devastated the place was.
Who here is going to the Monaco Show or the Hamburg SMM or Mets/Project2006?

I have not been a member of this particular site long, but these types of get-togethers are always fun. Sounds great.

Okay y'all,
The FLIBS is a month away. So you folks that don't live down here in paradise need to book your travel plans soon. If you need any local information, just ask and we'll try to help. We'll let Carl finalize a date/time for YF members to get together (and perhaps more than once).
It will be good to put faces with the names as well as see the yachts of some of the members.
