I do hope I get to meet you someday. I should say that I do want to meet some Dopers and actually make it to a Dopefest sometime if only yā€™all Dopers would hold Dopefests during times that donā€™t conflict with my schedule and my sadly depleted resources. [sigh] Someday, Iā€™ll win the lottery, and all my problems will be solved. ---

> [@](#): > > I can die happy now, for I have met **tomndebb**. Well, it was a pleasure to meet you (and the rest of the gang at Ann Arbor), as well. However, if meeting some boring middle-aged guy triggers your own _nunc dimittis_, I hope you can go on to have a long and fruitful life now that you have attained one early goal. ---

Iā€™d love to meet **The Gaspode** because weā€™re both huge **Buffy/Angel** fans and we could probably talk about the shows for hours. Iā€™d also like to meet **Apos** and **Elucidator**. ---

Among others, **Celestina**. Most of the people I wanted to meet I already have, but Iā€™d like to meet **malkavia** , too. Iā€™m sure more will come to mind once I hit _submit_. Alas, no one wants to meet me. ā˜¹ ---

There are several Dopers whom Iā€™ve come to respect and whom I would like to meet (if given the chance). Among them are (in no particular order): **Polycarp Tomndebb Jodi CKDexterHaven SuaSponte** (yeah, I know I met you at the first KosherDopeFest, but we only got to talk for about half a second, so Iā€™m not counting itā€¦) **IzzyR Scylla Captain Amazing jsgoddess**(whom I currently having a nice disagreement with in the abortion thread) **Bricker Guinastasia Jonathan Chance EJsGirl **and, of course,** Cecil Adams **and** Ed Zotti**. There are others whom I want to meet, but, unfortuantely, I canā€™t recall everyone at the moment. If I left your name off the list, please donā€™t take it as an exclusion, I just simply couldnā€™t remember everyone. Zev Steinhardt ---
