I've been trying to keep up with reading one of those threads a day to get some insights, as well as reading all the candidate profiles.

I encourage all others to do the same rather than just making the TalkBoard election a popularity contest amongst FTers.

Interesting...in my case, I couldn't decide what I wanted for post #1000, but I didn't want it to be just anything. As 1000 approached, I found myself avoiding posting, thinking only small number left. I finally decided that 1000 would be my first in the lounge, after lurking a bit. Afterward, I noticed myself really posting a lot during the next week or so.

At one point, I wondered if #2000 would happen during the ATL DL DO, but then decided that it was probably impossible unless I were to really make an effort to speed up my post count. As the number approached, I thought I was paying attention and then I realized that I had passed 2000 by a few without noticing.

Anyway, congratulations!

Gosh, I thought there was a vote on changing the lounge decor.

The lounge is like MSP SC F/G lounge. At least that lounge is really getting some tlc right now.

Have you been inside? It really is starting to look and feel like a construction zone, including the yellow (crime scene) tape. It seems strange to have all of the F & B on temporary tables. All of the pre-packaged disposable single-serving sizes must cost a lot more.

As much as the C club is nice, my flights usually leave from F or G except for DCA and RJ trips. I'm not looking forward to the hike and the crowds.

I noticed that the other day. Really hoping my MSP-LAS (on a -90) goes out of the C (or D) gates on Sunday instead of F/low G so I don't need to subject Teh Girl and The Friend to the F/G club but can show them a nice club over in C.

The thing that they'll be most disappointed about is no alcohol before (I think) 8 a.m. on Sundays (though it might be 6 a.m.) - given that they'll be closing at Teh Bar until 3:30 a.m. that night and are just staying up, they're looking forward to the unlimited drinks in F on the way out to LAS (I'm nice - I didn't want them riding in Y while I was sitting in F).

Sure have! In fact, I walk in, check in, look around, look at the food choices, took couple newspapers and grab a new SKY mag and walked out. To find out my flight was change to Gate 12.

So I took a airport cart... stand up and said "I am the king of the world!" (Kidding... I did not take a cart.) Just walk to the tram and walk over into the SC.

Man I love Boston...going to the north end, mike's pastries, pointlessly riding on the T...what a day. But somehow my cold has gone away...really happy about that.

Already casted my ballot...I had 2 already in my mind from reading that forum a while ago. I did some research at the time of forming my ballot for te other 2. Good luck to anyone in te race.

Hope everyone has a good day tomorrow

Are you skchin and did you approve this message?

Apparently I don't rate an "I Voted" icon.

The first time I read about the TalkBoard, I had to look through the forums list to try to figure out what it was; so, needing the link does not surprise me.
