Hey guys. I don't have any air travel planned for the next few months. So, these will expire before I can use them. First PM in my Inbox can have them. In addition to the free pass, they're good for a $50 discount on Admiral Club membership.


Damn... missed this.
The recipient has an ORD layover binge. Perhaps you'll both be making the same trip.

Yeah, 8mp, meet me there to watch the seff in fOOD game on 2/20 or around.

Shucks, I'll be in ORD on both 2/19 and 2/21

Aw, man. If I haven't used the 2nd pass by then, I'll leave it in a hiding spot in ORD for you.

I tried to do this once in Vegas for no real reason to see if I could leave something there for 6 months and it would still be there when I came back.  So I stuck a magnetic casino chip from ABC on the backside of a newsstand that nobody could walk behind as it butted up against LV Blvd....actually these 4 right here: https://goo.gl/maps/Qaqe587fPxp  Didn't work, it was gone.  I still am not sure how/why.

someone sitting at a red light saw it.

Pretty far away from where stopped cars would be sitting at that intersection... If so I admire them for parking and walking to go get that 1 buck magnet.

debating whether or not to go to phoenix in a couple of months for like four days. I would have basically nothing scheduled while I was there. is there anything fun/interesting there or close to there? seems pretty generic. like no interesting sights to see or things to do or great neighborhoods to hang out in.

Sedona (especially jeep rides), hiking, scottsdale, golfing, etc.

Sedona is two hours away though and I don't care enough to golf more than once a year so probably not going to do it there.

Avoid Sedona. Not worth the drive unless you are a climber or hippie type.

Phoenix overall is pretty boring unless you golf. The resorts are okay if you just want to relax.

I had a blast in Scottsdale, but I was single, and a girl jersey shored me with a cab on one of the mornings, so maybe that's why I liked it there so much. I liked it for partying reasons alone.

remember how the guys would smash the girls they brought home and then call them a cab (so they wouldn't stay the night)? She did this to me at like 4 AM.  :lol:

it would be centered around a conference that I wouldn't actually have to attend and phoenix is actually better than where the conference is next year and the year after so really think about going.

one thing I thought maybe I could do was rent a car and then hike to havasu falls. then I get a picture with me and the falls in the background and then post to facebook with something smarmy like "I'm here today, what is everyone else up to?". that way people who are at work would feel really bad about their life and I would look super outdoorsy very hip/cool.  :cool:
