Ha! Two liars caught in the dragnet of deceit! I demand that you atone immediately by sending me some pizza, preferable large, preferably pepperoni.  
Now…go!

I think somewhere in the neighborhood of 150 between various midwest dopefests, and of course **featherlou** and **Dead Pirate Jimbo** stopping by for lunch a few months back.

Rumours of **Dread Pirate Jimbo’s** demise were greatly exaggerated, my friend. 😃

This is probably my favorite description of a forum meet ever, especially because this statement would be no different if someone asked you what it’s like playing WoW or Second Life with dopers.

_Ahem._😃

I think I’ve met about 10-15, and like **Junior** mentioned, not all of them post to the board anymore. Some are still regulars though. 🙂

I’ve met the person who told me about this forum but I don’t know who he is here yet. It’s a game and I’m supposed to guess which doper he is. After 2 weeks of lurking and a few days of posting I still have no clue but I’m not giving up yet. Eventually he’s going to blow it with a personal detail and then he owes me a dinner the next time he’s in town.

I’ve met most of the other mods, and I had lunch with **Eve** once, a few years ago. And I know one other Doper in real life, from before our time on the board. Eventually I’m going to start going to Dopefests. Something always comes up.

I’m still miffed that your spurned my invitation to the NY dopefest last weekend. See the eyebrows? See them? :dubious:

Um… ditto 😃 Except switch my name with olivesmarch4th. And kudos on being able to remember everyone’s screenname. I remembered two screennames, and two real names. I do remember everyone’s faces and table positions however! Anyway that was my first dopefest and none of my real life peeps post to smdb, so they’s my ones and onlies. Although olive lists ten, and illuminatiprimus says 12. Who are we forgetting?

Several, but it was years ago, and sadly, most of them have passed beyond the Doper Veil. I haven’t heard from them in years.
