If anyone happens to be in the Bay Area on Friday, January 8, I’ll be hosting a FlyerTalk dinner that evening. I’m still working on a time and location, but expect it to be somewhat late (7PM at the earliest) and in the city (as opposed to Burlingame, where I often host dinners). Details can be [...]
