To everyone in LA or willing to travel:
I had such a fun time at last month’s dinner that I am organizing another one for next Saturday, October 27 at 7 PM.
We will meet at a delicious restaurant in the 90006 zip code with convenient access to the 10, 101, 5, and 110. (Average entree, approximately $12.) Tahsir and I will both be there, but you’ll probably learn more from the other attendees than you will from us. There won’t be any formal teaching, just chatting and socializing. We’re going Dutch on dinner, and the restaurant is good at splitting checks.
Contact me by email if you want to join us, and I’ll give you the name and address of the restaurant. This way I can give them a head’s up of our party’s size.
I hope to see many of last month’s attendees, Chicago Seminars friends, and new faces. Looking at my travel schedule, this will probably be the last Meet Up of 2012 in Los Angeles that I schedule.
Just getting started in the world of points and miles? The Chase Sapphire Preferred is the best card for you to start with.

darn…out of town that weekend! Hopefully I can catch the next one.
Same here — out of town that weekend. Are you going to be at FTU, Scott?
Haha, the least you can ask from us is for attendees to bring cash and pay you so that you can earn miles on the meetup, milevalue. 🙂 Then again, logistically, it’d be pretty tough to figure out “who drank what” and so on.
Sent you an email and am looking forward to meeting likeminded folks.
Great, looking forward to meeting you. If I got your email, I’ve already replied.
I’ll be there. This is my first one so I’m looking forward to it.
Looking forward to it. From the response so far, this one will be bigger than the last one. Hopefully that equates to more fun too.
Would like to meet for dinner tonight in Los Angeles. Thanks
Please send the Restaurant info.
Dude, The last one I was booked for work; and this time I flew back from NYC just ahead of “Sandy” and COMPLETELY forgot! 🙁 Ugh.
Perhaps a Dinner Report soon? …and maybe even a MileValue Reminder service in the works? 😉
