Lindsay and I barely made the cut off for two tickets. We are Phx locals so we are up for the entire weekend party. The weather will be great. Let us know if you have any questions or want to meet up.

Although the FireSky is a great resort, their are definitely better restaurants to explore while here in Scottsdale and the Phoenix area. Perhaps people will want to make a group(s) reservations while attending. I'd like to suggest Chelsea's Kitchen, The Henry, POMO, Blanco and AZ88 just to name a few. Happy to help organize if needed.

No visit to Phx is complete without some Carolinas Mexican food

My GF will kill me for visiting without her, but I'm so in.
Haha, we are too.

For us out of towners, this is almost like a theme park attraction. Understand that we very much want the food, but we don't expect the food to be good.

And this is how this place stays in business. Not because they have good food. But because of a theme park attraction. I should be their marketing director and stage daily fights with customers for entertainment.
Oh but we do. So desperately. Meow!

Bandera and Houston's are both excellent options near the resort
Never been to Roaring Fork but that is right there as well.

Roaring Fork has a great happy hour and burger.

Does anybody have any contacts at the Arizona Cardinals? They have a game against the St. Louis Rams and while not the most exciting game on the NFL schedule, it might be fun to see a different team/stadium. Or can I scalp tickets at reasonable prices at the stadium?

Let me see if I can help you out. Do you have a certain level of seat(s) you're looking for? How many tickets?

Thanks so much
I would be looking for 4 tickets maybe in the 100-200 level seats. I still need to figure out if I can make it home after the game. Just trying to explore options

I'm trying to gauge interest in a road bike ride on Friday afternoon. The Phoenix/Scottsdale area has some great looking trails and I can see a few potential 20-30 mile routes that would be very pleasant riding with stops at places like... er... CVS and Safeway along the way LOL. I am looking into rental options and there are some available but want to see what level of interest before homing in and trying to cut a deal with one of the local bike stores.

Anyone staying at the Hyatt house, I am getting dinner Friday evening. PM me and let me know if you are interested.
James from BNA and myself are planning something that evening, others welcome.

Great, no idea where to go but seems like you guys and Spirith20 are locals and probably know somewhere good to get a good cheap drink and something to eat

I get in at 835p. Wasn't sure if I was going to get a car or not. I can hang around and catch a cab with you if you want. I'm staying at Firesky.

I'm on US also, arrival is 8:02. Don't know where I'm staying at yet but have a rental booked, can drive whoever needs a ride that will fit. Maybe we can pick a spot near the airport for drinks and I'll grab a table for the group of us, the later arrivals can grab a cab there then I'll drop you at your hotel.

If you end up going, I would be curious to know how it is, from my understanding it is very expensive and underwhelming. Funny the reviews are either the worst possible or the best possible. No reviews in the center.
I'm a Ramsay fan so after watching that crazy episode I am drawn to it like watching an accident.
I'm in for a ride. Don't need a bike though.

Any of the women attending the DO interested in a get together? Not looking to exclude you guys, but I do think that some women have different strategies esp. for MS (this has been discussed here elsewhere) and that more of the folks who play this game are male. Just look at the line-up of speakers.
It is pretty common these days to have organizations/meetups open to/focusing on women in various professions. The DO might be a good opportunity for a women's informal gathering on either Friday or Sunday. Anyone interested?

Wish I were coming! Great idea...next time.
