Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

There was a request to mention this DO on DDF, but as mentioned above, there were a couple primary reasons not to do so.

The first was lack of space, the hotel was extremely unaccommodating in that regard. The second was a lack of familiarity with other DDFers and having to rely on other's kashrus as most of the food was homemade. The actual food prep was difficult, and big props to all those that contributed to that. :)  A special shout out to the guy that got the sefer torah.

That being said, it was fairly well publicized, I would guess that at least 50-75 ppl had heard abt it before Wednesday. I had personally met abt 5/10 men beforehand. However there were some I had never met before, and am glad I did now.

I'd like to do something like this again, and hope to sometime in the next few months. (early shabbos does make things a little more difficult)

It wasn't hard to get the ball rolling, there were 2 couples ready to make shabbos alone. We ended up with a minyan, that was a big bonus.

Though I also think that the only reason it worked, because you had to 2 people that were planing on going anyways no matter who ended up coming and even if nobody else came they were going, and that is essential, nobody wants to be the first one to commit, but once you have that core, everyone else follows
If you think nobody cares about you... just forget to pay your credit card bill

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

BTW, no one cares about your phone number, it's just your email where people send their inquiries about deals they missed out because of your broken email server and other impotent issues. Try it and you'll see. And you won't be able t try it with google voice. GV is something people will abuse. Just post your real number on on DD at the bottom of your email address and add in red lettering for emergencies only and I am sure you'll be good. All and all, whatever the reason is, it's your call and you choose not to be with us. Your loss.
Lol.

You have no idea how many phone calls my parents (Who's number is in the phone book) have to deal with of people needing to reach Dan asap.

Very few of the people asking Dan questions actually read DDMS.
See the DDFB for proof of this

I'm up for anything that doesn't include flying next shabbos.
And I'll need someone to book for me and I'll pay $$$
Or whatever works out cheaper.
But basically I'm up for something next week.
