Somewhere in the hundreds. Mega Dope Fests in NYC three times, Chicago twice, Spiffled II, and Dopetoberfest, plus more normal-sized meetups in GA, FL, and VA/DC/MD. Slept with several (crashed on couches or spare beds, you pervs). ---

Like Ginger, I’ve probably met well over 100 Dopers. I’ve moved around a lot, so I’ve met the Minnesota group, the Houston bunch, the MADs, and when I was in Vegas, I had the privilege of meeting **silenus** , **DMark** , **LVGeogeek** , **Yeticus Rex** and several others. Not to mention the 2002 ChiDope and the 2001 road trip that took me from Minnesota to Texas by way of Illinois, Pennsylvania, DC, and Tennessee. Robin ---

> [@dwyr](#): > > Only four I think. And only one of them still posts here so it’s probably just as well. I wouldn’t want to drive anyone else off. Nuh-uh! You met me and ShibbOleth, who still posts here. Rue, ThinkSnow and … um, um… I forgot his name! Well, he doesn’t post here anymore. The lawyer guy, who walked with a cane. :smack: Well, they’re gone. We should do another LexDope and up our total. I _almost_ met Vunderbob. ALMOST. I did have a voice-mail from him on my cell phone, though, which is close. 🙂 ---

Currently my total stands at five (three at a London dopefest when **Gadarene** was visiting, met **Future Londonite** when he moved to London earlier this year and **thirdwarning** ’s daughter when I was showing her around London who actually is a doper too but has only posted once). The number should go up fairly significantly this Saturday. 🙂 ---

Five, in mostly chronological order: \*\*Hostile Dialect \*\*(when I went to the international rugby 7s event) **Blue Kangaroo** (we went to the same college, but didn’t find out until we both graduated **Hockey Monkey** (Vegas, baby! Still sad I spent most of my time doing homework there. I hate grad school sometimes) \*\*CometotheDarkSidewehaveCookies \*\*(Vegas, baby!) **Oredigger** (originally came to visit a few of us in Santa Fe, I ended up convincing him to play rugby! Hopefully he sticks to it!) There are a few others we had dinner with, but I can’t remember their user names right now. ---

I’m not sure maybe 12? I can’t remember who all was at the San Francisco Dopefest in July '07. It was a lot of fun! ---

A slew – 50 maybe? Mostly MADs, plus others as they’ve come through Philly, like **QueenTonya**. She and **pseudotriton ruber ruber** can both vouch for my mad tour guide skilz. I’ve met others while traveling – missed **elelle** in NC because my plans went askew due to a late flight, though, to my eternal chagrin. Met **Coldie** and **Heloise** in Amsterdam, which was way cool – couldn’t get the logistics together to meet **Maastricht** , a fellow plant person, on that trip. ---

I can’t count that high. A few NYC and ChiDopes in a past life, along with a few self-indulgent weekends in Chicago. ---

I’ve met about 25 from Dopefests in Orlando and Boston. Y’all know who you are. ---

Amongst all our Doper meetings, **Dread Pirate Jimbo** forgot about meeting **Boyo Jim** in Madison. We were so thrilled to meet a real, live celebrity! 😃 ---

4, but 2 of them haven’t been on in years so if we’re talking semi/pseudo active posters 2. ---

Nope, she has to register, pick an awesome username (something more original than yours), then start posting like a mad-woman in the Pit about all the shit you give her. Then I can up my count to eleven. Now, GEET! ---
