I am banging my head, not just over CH's, but trying to find a way to convention this year. I desperately want to go, and will do just about anything to make it this year. I tried to work for my old boss doing a music booth this summer, and would have made enough to get me to Nashville, but it fell through. I have no car, otherwise I'd just drive there.
Is there anyone passing through the midwest that could pick me up on the way? If I can find a way there, I'll do whatever I can to get registered, and not worried about a hotel room. I'll just skip sleep for the weekend and hang wherever after hours. I want to meet all of the CH family here, as you all have given me so much strength and support over the last few years.
I don't really believe in a god, but am praying anyway that I make it to convention. Not going again for the 5th year in a row would bum me out really really really bad.
Nashville or bust,
Carl D

Carl,
If you can get there via Southwest Airlines, I'll pick up the airfare for you. I was issued a voucher on Southwest a while back for being bumped, and I'd be happy to help you get there with it. Let me know. Book it and I will go to the ticket desk here and pay for it with my voucher.
Deal?
BTW, this is strictly NO STRINGS ATTACHED.

Carl,
Don't sweat it if Southworst doesn't work for you. I have like 300,000 miles on Delta too, so if I have to I'll burn some of those. United is also an option, but one I'd rather not use as I only have about 50,000 on them.
Obviously, Southworst would be the preferred one on my end. But no sweat if it doesn't work.

Heck, it's just a plane ticket to me... I fly 100,000 miles a year. The LAST thing I want to do with my miles is, uh, USE them to actually fly somewhere! Out of the 2 1/2 million miles I've earned so far, I've given away 90% of them to friends and family, and CH counts as family. Once, I used miles to fly my (now ex) wife and I to Turkey (first class) for a 12 day cruise through the Mediterranean. That would have been really fun with someone else. Hell, that would have been more fun with a rabid dog. Maybe someday I’ll find someone a little more fun to travel with, but for now I’m happy to help a family member out.
No big hero thing about it, just a relative value thing. Plus, it’s a kind of selfish thing on my part anyway cause I get so much satisfaction out of doing it. ‘Nuff said. Now shaddup.

Real cool Fu. Hope it works out. I looked up where you live Carl and it's like 4 hours one way. I was thinking if all else fails, I might drive to get ya and take ya to Nashville, if you could swing another ride home from Nashville(or from southern Indiana/Louisville, Ky.)
Unsolved (still hoping your plane comes in though)
Keep us posted

Nope, sorry. I hope you all have an excellent time though.
I will be in London, however, from this Friday to next Thursday. I'm going to meet up with pubgirl and a few other natives and see how much English beer I can drink. I take that back, I drink Irish mostly (Guinness).

Congratulations Carl_D,
Looks like you will be one of many to be able to supply gossip about who did what( or who) at the conventions heh
Hey Fubar, very kind man, thank you, this demonstrates the support that clusterbuddies give.
As for me, all i need is an address, as i intend on Fed Xing myself over in a post pak.

Turts, send the package to me, I'll sign for ya! 
Then you can stow away in my luggage. BTW, we'll be taking Northwest, and I won't save you any airplane food cause i wouldn't even feed that to a dog. I'll buy you a bottle of water and some protein bars, the flight is only about 3 hrs with 1 layover.
I'll be waiting for you!

FUBAR,
I just got an offer to ride from St Louis with a fellow St Louisian, Jim Ham. I prefer wheels over wings, so I am gonna ride with him and his wife Sue. Maybe there is someone else in our CH family who could use the frequent flyer points you offered - I just wish you were making it to convention.
Peace,
Carl D
