    We are a pretty long running community, and there have been several meet-up over the years. So, have you met and fellow posters, and who where they?

    Let's see, I've met El Chup, Borgs, Garamet, Podgers, Lt. Mewa, there are a few others I can't quite remember.

    Who have you met up with?

    I've met Anc, which was nice.

    Why I still haven't met Cass is a mystery to me.

    I've met Anc, Josie, Foil, and spoken with Mewa by phone. I'm gonna hang out with him soon, just haven't had any NY trips that afforded the time. But he's high on my list.

    I've met several of you, although none of you that I've met had any idea that it was me.

    Had dinner with frontline and MikeH92467.
    Same with Tex and Ash.
    Shared a couple of meals with evenflow and Aenea. I first met the farmer at...a Pearl Jam concert that I was working.
    Had dinner with Paladin, too.

    I don't think I'm forgetting anyone. :unsure:

    Ack, totally forgot, got completely shit faced with Faisent one night at a great beer bar in DC. We tried to hook up with Lanz that night, too, but he had the flu. Probably wouldn't have enjoyed our drunkenness, :lol:

    I tried to keep up with El Chup in London once. Not good. That man has a hollow leg. The hangover was truly awesome.

    Volpone, Anc, Anc's wife, Krieg, Krieg's wife.
    Due to time constraints both times I was in LA this year, wasn't able to meet Garamet.

    Nope...I have spoken with several on the phone however...umm...Bulldog, T'Bonz, Storm, Elwood, and Ancalagon. I think that's it. Of course I live with Zel.

    It's amazing I haven't met Diacanu yet...we live less than 50 miles apart or so (unless he's moved to another town I don't know about). But I am extremely shy in person and get nervous at the thought of meetups. I'm a bit of a hermit.

    Let's see: shootER (when I was in his area), Tex and Ash (when they were in mine), RickDeckard (when he visited SF), Volpone (we met up a couple of times). Talked to gul on the phone once, that one time I met up with AdaptationNation (who no longer posts here). Came this close to meeting up with Marso when he was out here once; I got his message about 30 minutes too late.

    Dejavu: I posted the same info three years ago.

    Wait, are you lot claiming that Volpone is real?

    Nah, couldn't be. He probably just hired an actor to play him.

    No. I'm horribly deformed and often scare people into heart attacks. I like you all too much to inflict that upon you.

    Ah, that leaves us with two possibilities: You either wear a mask and play the pipe organ at a theatre company, and your wife was (is?) an actress whom you seduced with your tragic past, or you've a hunchback and live in Notre Dame, and your wife is an incredibly beautiful Roma.

    Paladin and garamet only. I'm open to others, and in fact will likely be in the western US again later in the year.
