With all the Dopefests on at the moment, and the ones that are soon to come, I thought I’d ask the question, who do ya want to meet?

Seeing that I’m gonna meet Coldfire, globetrotter, Tater, and Trion next month, and that I have already met Ruadh, yojimbo and Micilin (locals)as well as Fretful Porpentine and D-Marie (visitors) I can rule them off my list.

Who do I still want to meet?  
Satan. he’s such a dopefest slut I’ll keep a chair for him at the table in October. I can picture the conversation with one of the locals now…

“Is that seat free?”

“Sorry, thats reserved for Satan”.

Rachelle: My chat buddy. I’d love to split a pitcher with this lady. An absolute honey to the end.  
Lexi: This guy cracks me up totally.

there are loads more, but I’ll keep the OP short to keep interest…

So who would you guys like to meet???

I’m not fussy - any one of the more high profile Dopers would do.

The only regular Doper I know personally is Tisme - I introduced him to SDMB.

Well, I’ve already met Ike, Saxface, Manhattan, Alpha, Tuba, CMKeller, Green Bean and Billdo.

I’ll admit, APB9999 has piqued my interest . . .

Without a question, the Dublin dopers.

(How’s that for sucking up?) 😉

And that Dutch Doper, whose name escapes me.

There’s so many, I just know I’m going to leave off some names. Here goes…

TwistofFate obviously. 😉 We chat quite a bit and I’d love to be able to actually sit down and have a few drinks and a conversation with him face to face.

I wish I could go to the Vegas Dopefest this weekend so I could meet all the dopers that are going to be there. But, alas, I just can’t do it… I’ll miss my AC/DC concert Sunday night and we can’t have that!!

Here’s a list, in no particular order:  
Uncle Beer  
ChiefScott  
Techchick69  
Portnoy  
Democritus  
Mullinator  
SouthernStyle  
seriousart  
Baglady  
Diane  
DrainBead  
Satan  
Shayna…

Why don’t I just make this easy and say _everyone_!!

hhmmmmmmmmmm…

the dopers I would like to meet…there was this one guy…the wisest and funniest in the universe…John Larrigan, or something, but he is, alas, with us no more…

well, since my sig line is stolen from one of his recent posts, I HAVE to meet John Corrado…

without meeting Chief Scott, Falcon, Satan and Drainbead, my life has less meaning…:: sighs ::

then there is my friend and pal, Ayesha, whom I have known for almost a year but never met or seen…

then there is shayna, ultress, byzantine, matt\_mcl, coldfire, bratman,

oh for cryin’ out loud…EVERYBODY!!!

Finally, a person with some taste, class, and good sense.  
Your check’s in the mail.

I would like to meet Shayna, purplebear, evilbeth (don’t let the name fool you - she’s a sweetheart), Coldfire, Nika, struuter, and some more to be name later but I can’t think of their names at the moment.

I wish there would be a Dopefest in Boston, or somewhere close in New England. I’ve been lurking around for so long that I feel like I know everybody. Lets round up every doper, along with SO’s and kiddies and found a nation! ChiefScott can head the armed forces and be in charge of panty raids.

I want to meet everyone, but it ain’t gonna happen. If I have to pick, I’ll pick GaWd and Satan in the interest of maintaining balance in the universe. 🙂

</div>

I’m boggled. Someone is actually quoting me in their sig.

Well, then, **Dylan** just moved up to the top of the pack in people I’d like to meet.

Having already met a lot of Dopers (lucretia, bluesman, SqrlCub, dcnewsman, John Olsen, Wendell Wagner, Bricker, Falcon, Triskademus, Polycarp, Skulldigger, Satan, pldennison, Peta Tzunami, Uncle Beer, elelle, Jess, Chief Scott, aenea, Opus, weirddave, kyberneticist, cabbage, Montfort, RTFirefly, and briefly talked on the phone to Drain Bead) I think my other top choices (in no particular order) are: Coldfire, John Larrigan (though I have _no_ interest in meeting this “TwistOfFate” character), Ayesha, Shayna, and Lexicon.

Not being included in this list should not be construed as meaning I don’t wish to meet you. In fact, if you’re willing to come all the way out to DC, I’ll buy a round for ya.

</div>

_Oohhh…Dopers_ we’d like to meet…  
Hey Rachelle! :👋: Feeling’s mutual! 😉

Again, I’d have to say I’d like to meet _all_ of you, and I’ve never met a Doper face to face that I didn’t like. Well, except for Ukelele Ike, he’s a complete asshole and that Coldfire guy, you can just _tell_ he’s a prick. 😃

Anyway, here’s a top ten, or something:

1)Veb  
2)Jophiel  
3)Omniscient  
4)boli  
5)ChrisCTP  
6)tinycow  
7)BurnMeUp  
8)Sealemon  
9)Flypsyde  
10)AntiPro

Crap…as I was writing that, about a hundred other names popped into my head. I hate questions like this.

Hi **Rachelle** ,

We’re going to have a Tallahassee mini-fest in a couple of weeks. Kansas is only 4 states away. 😉

In alphbetical order:

Aenea  
ChiefScott  
Eve  
Falcon  
Purplebear  
Rachelle  
TechChick68  
TradeSilicon  
Turpentine  
Mr. Zambezi

Plus the two other Tallahassee Dopers. (I will meet them in about 2 weeks! :D)

And of course, had this been asked a couple of months back, **WallyM7** would be on everyone’s list…

It’s more than a sig…it’s a way of life

It took 4 months of patient waiting and reading for something to strike me as being worthy of my quoting it…

your words are so very wise, and the smack resounding from them a far greater blow than a slap in the face…you are a wise god, and I bow to your greatness…first in line of what will undoubtedly be many, many groupies…errr…followers of the faith…

seriously, it was the coolest and most meaningful thing I have read in a loooooooooong time.

[/gratuitous ego-stroking of J. Corrado]  
bratman, keep the cheque…that one was a freebie…

I too am very much looking foreward to meeting everyone in Dublin. This includes TwistofFate, yojimbo, ruadh, tatertot, Coldfire, and even Globe-trotter (despite not being included on her list ;))

Of those who won’t be there I guess my list would include Satan, matt\_mcl, struuter and Eve. Probably more.

Me? Seriously? Cool. That’s really cool. I still have this cock-eyed optimist ideal of figuring out a way to get everybody together. Wouldn’t that be…special? I know, I know…there isn’t enough alcohol in one geographic location to sate everyone. I’d bring brownies…

When I think about all the people I’d like to meet…jeez. Everybody. More importantly, I’d love to be there when everybody met everybody else. That would be fun.

Hey, I really think I’d like to meet that Jophiel person 😉

But to be serious:

Demo  
Satan  
DrainBead  
Turpentine  
Doobieous  
Techie! I’d love to meet her  
Veb  
VogueVixen

There’s more, but I can’t think of them right now. And most of the people I wanted to meet (from chat) I met at Spiffled 😃

Been to alot of Dopefests, and haven’t had anything but a blast yet, so I’d better contribute. Of course I’ll exclude the many that I’ve already met.

My list is biased to the rest of my chat hoes, especially those bastids on the left coast.

Demo, Doob, SeaDiver, pricciar

Theres alot of dopers of the female persuasion who I would love to meet, but not for anything as innocent as drunken debauchery. I’ll leave those names safe, where they can’t get me into trouble.

There are alot of others who would be great to meet as well, but these guys are first in line.

Well there is one doper I’m curious to meet because we’ve become friends. And let’s say, this Friday I’m going to meet her in Las Vegas. 🙂

Off the top of my head, other dopers I’d like to meet (which I haven’t).

Coldfire (seems like a pretty cool guy)  
Neuro-trash-grrrl (just gotta wonder what she’s like in person)  
Cecil Adams (just to see if he looks like Ed Zotti _j/k_ ;))  
Cheif Scott (I’m just wondering what he’s like in person)  
Democritus (seems like a cool fella)

…and a whole bunch of others 😉

2ndLaw  
Aenea : No one can resist my charms as well.

Brachyrhynchos : I would get a second flirtation gland installed just for the occasion.  
Canadian Sue  
Chef Troy : ONLY for beers! Ha!  
Chief  
ChiefScott : Cool, for a squid.  
Coldfire : _Someone’s_ gotta kick this guy’s ass eventually. And by that I mean, drink him under the table.  
Democritus : Been wanting to hang out with Demo since day one.  
Diane : I need someone to kick MY ass.  
Doobieous : Another of the Day One crew  
Drain Bead : Day One Crew again. And a hottie.  
Ed Zotti : (insert ass-kissing comment here)  
Eve : Remember the Flirtation Gland? We’re talking a third here.

Freak Freely : Beer’s on me.

Swiddles : I like her!  
VogueVixen  
Weirddave : Why not?

Like I said, that’s not a complete list by any means. Just as much as I feel like typing now. If you’re not on there, It’s probably cause I already have met you, or just don’t know you well enough 🙂
