I was curious how many of you have met someone in person who you initially knew through the site? What happened? Lets hear your stories.

Never... and no one wants to hook up in Minneapolis on August 19th for Sonic Youth either.

spooky--do you ever feel awe at the power of this thing that you and missy, and the team, have created here? it kinda blows me mind sometimes. sooooo many people have met here, online pals and real life pals. even some full on hookups ( "______ and ______ sittin in a tree!!!), and pending, anticipation-laden future hookup in the works, and who knows if an SG marriage might ever happen (imagine the guest list--it would have to broadcast on a webcam, wtih remote guests with glasses of champagne across the rock). WOW! if i were you, elusive spookster-one, i would just periodically stare into the mirror and whisper "wow. wow. wow."

ok, that said, i've only ever met girlblue when she came up to visit me in baltimore a few weeks ago. she's a very cool chica. otherwise, i meet the great grendel in a few weeks when he comes out to check out a job thing here. but i've AIMED, talked on the phone, and even sent mail to a select few. i *love* this community.

thanks, spooky, missy, o, and the whole SG corp. my computer has never been more of a living entity to me as it is now as my SG portal. sometimes it's actually...counterproductive. ah well.....

Missy and I may have started it, but you guys created it as much as we did. You all supported it, either with posts, money, pictures, suggestions, spreading the word or a combination of all of those things.

We all made SG to a certain degree.

I met Tat2Bob and his wife before the White Stripes show in Indianapolis last week. He's a great guy. He welcomed my friend -- so it wasn't just one stranger, but a stranger and a friend of a stranger -- into his home, and gave us beer. It couldn't have been a nicer evening.

thirtyseven said she was standing behind me at the show, but she didn't say anything to me. I'm still not sure why. I even apologized for being so tall and having bad eyes. Who knows who else from the site was there with her.

Also, what chiquita said.

Nobody, because nobody wants to meet the "short haired, Grown-up, Harry Potter look-a-like" even though I work in Portland, and live just across the Columbia River, but it's cool.

doo dee doo, so whomever doesn't know about bobby and i at this point is a complete loser goober, cause it's been broadcast oh i don't know all over the site maybe? heh. i flew into portland to meet him and stayed with him for 10 days and had the most wonderful time, we're not technically together i don't think, just because of distance, but nor are we seeing other people and i love him to death. he's coming to visit me at the end of august, first he can afford it. *happy sigh*

who else have i met? besides sg's debra jean and lydia, i've met fixtheplunger (no longer on), dan (prob changed his name, haven't talked to him in ages), and doomsdave, and i have plans to meet up eventually and hopefully with a number of people, including neil, dicean, redskull, grendel, modernpopculture and vena. and probably a helluva lot more people depending on peoples' travel plans.

spooky, honestly, you and missy have changed my life. i can't thank you enough.

love and kisses,

i had the oppertunity to meet a couple of members but alas fate decided against it phedra couldnt attend the tattoo convention in new york and the week i went on my road trip i think girlblue went to visit chiquita, and i believe noncomdrone was on another trip. tnderkiss4u disapeared but i did meet tha7thstar in new york at the tattoo convention so i think she is the only one here that knows what i look like. but i would like to actually meet some of these individuals just to get a better idea of what they are about and so they can put a face with what ever trouble i started.

So true. You see, Chaos Monkey, I didn't really feel like I had a right to ask you to move .. it being a gen adm show and all. Then again, I think the taller crowd should look out for the shorter crowd at shows. Who knows..

Other than that, I haven't seen anyone I didn't already know before SG...

I met up with Phaedra. we hung out in NY....she introduced me to both Indian food and Vegan cuisine. I've had Indian food since, and I love it......sorry to say, I can't adopt the vegan way of life...I love Pizza too much.

and yes, Phaedra, I did change my name when the site changed over. I figured "Dan" was a little too boring.

I'd definitely be up for meeting other site members, though. And Phaedra has a standing invitation. seeing as I'm a New Yorker now.

I met SlightPressureOkay and that was excellent. He gave me a gadget full of tubes and knobs confused

I'm heading out to Maryland like chiquita said to check out a new PhD position/job thing so she promised to show me around her lab and make Pad Thai! *dusts off cheesecake recipie* (Oi! Don't forget my turtle skull! wink )

Chances are I'll be moving out east soon so I've been talking to phaedra a bit about meeting up with her. I've also got to get my ass out to see girlblue before she really does move to Portland.

Naife and I have a standing cider/crochet date. Woohoo!

The SG community is fantastic. And putting faces and actual meeting experiences with the members is even more fantastic. I'll meet anyone who wants to if I'm going to be in the area. I'm tired and therefore incoherernt.

THE SPOON!! THE SPOON!!!

Nah, but I've encountered SGvolk in other Web spaces, sometimes surprisingly. I've also realized that I'm already friends of friends with folks I've met via SG. And I'm hopeful that the next time I'm in Portland or SF I can buy some very special people some very special beers.

Well I've met Dr_H a while ago through the same Post House that the companies we work for use. Macbastard, DigDug & Rabbiteen I met at the Dragonfly club out here in Hollywood. Jeremy, Shade & hellvatica I met at one of Dr_H's parties.
JayAllan I've known before he joined this site.

Everyone who I've met from this site whether it be an actual SG or just a board member has been way kewl! wink
