Yep, I met **Coldfire**.

Also met **Cisco  
Gigobuster  
Dalej42  
Stranger  
DesertDog  
The Sonoran Lizard King  
Lady Deathkraft  
Mauvaise  
umop ap!sdn**

I doubt this counts but I COULD have met both **SkipMagic** and **C.K Dexter Haven** …unfortunately plans changed on both days. I was scheduled to meet them, though. Skip at a Dopefest and Dex alone (who promised to give me a tour of the Chicago History Museum–still kicking myself that I couldn’t make it).

I’ve met **Blue Kangaroo!** Also \*\*Sarafeena, DMark, Savannah, LVGeogeek, HazelNutCoffee, GingerOfTheNorth, Trupa, Serious Lark, Flutterby, The Lady, fubbleskag, \*\*, and a bunch of other people who’s names I have forgotten because my brain is old and feeble. And of course the aforementioned **Spoons and Northern Piper**. 🙂

I haven’t met any mods or admins yet - I have a feeling they don’t actually exist.

I carpooled to a dopefest with Rick, Antinor and Silver Tyger Girl. I met a bunch of people once I got there but I probably don’t remember everyone’s name.

Dr. Drake, EJsGirl, ctywkr, Lucky 13, Arnold Winelried and a few others I can’t remember at the moment (sorry!).

Oh and Silenus too I guess. Don’t remember you. Sorry. ☹

It was a lot of fun! We should get another one going!

I met **psycat90** (hope I got that name right) and a gentleman that traveled with her, plus **Snooooopy** and the now banned **Zenster**.

There was a fellow that showed up at the Fox and Goose late, whose name I unfortunately no longer remember.

Well, I met **Frank** when he was a mod, so not only do they exist, but you’re one degree away.

And thanks for reminding me–I’ve met **Ginger of the North** too.

Sure enough…I’ve made it to each of his DopeFests, as well as a scattered few other gatherings. One or two Philly dinners and **dwc** ’s memorial last year come to mind, and I’m sure there were a couple of others.

I’m bad with names, but I’ve met a hell of a lot of you.
