Eve  
Ukelele Ike  
neuro-trash grrrl (Dang, I miss her. Where has she been lately?)  
goboy  
Esprix  
Shirley Ujest  
Mullinator  
Doctor J

And of course, all of my fellow DFW Dopers. I swear I’ll make it to one of Zyada’s confabs soon.

Wow, just about everybody on the board! Honestly, it’s the most dizzying collection of bright, opinionated, funny, unique folks I’ve found.

Just off the top of my head:

All the mods–(no suck up; truth! interesting bunch)  
pluto–  
Dr. Watson–  
NeuroTrashGrrrl–dang, wish she’d get back here!  
Diane–bet she’d be a total hoot in person, too  
CanadianSue–a real sweetie  
beatle–  
Demo–great pal, and helluva nice guy  
John Corrado–  
Eve–who wouldn’t? a vivid original  
Valerieblaise–cause she sounds so _nice_  
oldscratch–funny and foodie  
BratMan–  
Anniz–  
Chief Scott–of course  
BluePony–he’s hilarious, not to mention demented  
Shayna–sweet, funny, generous  
Persephone–she was such wonderful company in Guy Stuff!  
aha–cussed devil that he is  
tatertot–  
SueDunym–  
ShirleyUjest–the Dorothy Parker of the board  
Mullinator–  
Coldfire–of course

Hell, there are just too many; the list would run for pages.

One thread I’ll confess to being a bit hesitant on the reply, because, as with the (rarer, these days) popular poster threads, I don’t want to slight anyone whom I may forget in a moment of rambling. But the nature of this thread is not “are you a _People_ kind of person?” but more so a definition of the band-pass frequency filter used on beatle-band radar.

I’ve met (and/or will have, by the end of this weekend) ~ 30 of y’all, some several times now (and I’m going to exclude y’all from the list - this is a slapdash compilation of whom I’d like to yet meet).

People whom have either piqued my curiousity or whom I think I’d like to meet for whatever reason (in random, stream (babbling brook) of consciousness order):

\*\*Demo  
Persephone  
TubaDear  
Shayna  
Phobos  
Mulli  
Milo  
Eve \*\*hmmm - my little sister, to a “T” (New Orleans society maven) - if I 'm wrong, Eve, you may beat me, whip me and make me write bad checks  
**Clog-boy** - still owes me a brew; I know - I’ve got to show in Amsterdam to collect  
**Uncle Beer  
pepperlandgirl  
AntiPro  
Canadian Sue  
aenea  
tatertot  
dewt  
Monty  
SaxFace  
OpalCat  
Doctor Jackson  
Pantellerite  
andros**  
(there’s one bad-ass little bug hovering around my desk light - looks like a tiny black wasp with a hyper active fanny - new to me, ideas?)  
**Stoidela  
psycat90  
handy  
ChiefScott  
Fillet**  
A couple of posters who went into voluntary exile at Opal’s  
**Chronos  
android**(what’s his #)  
**Manhattan  
Boris B  
phouka  
Arnold Winklereied  
Pluto  
Johnny L.A.  
TVeblen  
As\_U\_Wish  
matt\_mcl  
Sqrlcub  
Welfy  
Markxxx  
DoctorJ  
Bluepony  
Bosda** (a lot of these names are not _quite_ correct, and if I’ll let those imperfections pass I am _certainly_ not going to bog down on Daniel’s user name)  
**jjjfishe  
jab1  
ChrisCTP  
Drain Bead  
DDG  
starfish  
oldscratch  
Libertarian  
Gaudere  
Diane  
Lexicon  
Rhythym Devil  
IgnatiousJReilly  
Dvous Means**  
…  
Oh Gawsh! They’re _too_ many! I knew I shouldn’t have tried this. Oh, well. There you have it for now!

If you’re not in there, it reflects not so much on you as it does my failing ability to recall all. There’re many more of you I’d like to know better.

The ones I _have_ met:  
**Zyada  
Balance  
Falcon  
Beaker  
Grace  
Chef Troy  
JimB  
Brood McEto  
Aglarond  
Ayesha  
The LION  
Shanin  
Sealemon  
cooldude  
purplebear  
Mamapotomus  
Irishman  
Little Nemo  
Strainger  
Cessandra  
TheNerd**

Enjoyed everyone of’em (to some degree).

The ones I’ll meet this weekend:

Well, at first I felt sad. I mean, what does one have to do around here? I have over 1000 posts, I’m in chat every night, I try not to make too many waves. But then I realized I don’t want to meet any of you people either.  
The people I DO want to meet  
Anthracite (My Secret Lesbian Lover)  
Chef\_Troy  
Byz  
and beatle, because I’m on his list with about 100 other people AND I like this name.

Well, I seriously would love to meet everyone on this board. I don’t know if anyone feels the same. 🙂  
But anyway, those that I would especially like to meet IRL are those that I chat with on a regular basis, namely:  
**Audrey**  
**Brunetter**  
**SwimmingRiddles**

Others that I would like to meet would take too long to list, and I don’t want to leave anyone out, so I won’t try. And **pepperlandgirl** , that includes you. Especially since I want to meet everybody, so I don’t think I could _not_ miss anyone. 😃

</div>

Although I would love to meet ANYONE who posts here, my main list comes from my many nights in the chat room. When you interact with people on that level, everything becomes more personal. (I’m not including all the folks I’ve already met, who would definitely be on this list if I didn’t already know them in person).

In no particular order,

Demo (you know I love ya, bro!)  
Doob (don’t forget to take the trash out on Mondays)  
pricciar (smart, sweet and very funny)  
Satan & Drain  
VogueVixen  
SeaDiver  
Sassy  
techchick  
OpalCat

Crap, I’m forgetting people. Forgive me, you’re all special.

Offhand, I’d love to meet enilorac and KKBattousai. 😃

dpr  
dropzone  
DRY  
Heloise (just want to know how you’re doing)

Of course, I should have put Mully and Demo in my list from the start!

who else… Falcon & ChiefScott (do we have to start mentioning them together now?? ;)), Pepperlandgirl, Shayna (even though I’m not Jewish or over 25, one can still hope ;))Techchick68,  
Silo (I’d like to slap him across the head for being such a numbnuts when he first joined the board, and then shake his hand for coming back and being himself) Mega, Swiddles, Eve, andygirl, Libertarian, the list goes on and on…

finally, Tomndebb. I have such a respect for this man. Is there any subject he dosent know something about? He is always on point, never patronising, even his flames are informative!

Yeah, yeah - I know. It’s hard make much of an impression with a sub-70 post count.

No chance I’ll get to a dopefest anytime this decade. Unless there happens to be one in Phoenix Sept. 9-10.

I could always organize one in my locale, but I doubt there’s ANY dopers even remotely close to me. Oh well…

I’d really enjoy meeting - in no particular order:

Anthracite,  
Chief Scott,  
Coldfire,  
and JohnnyLA.

…no, you don’t want to meet me. There’s a reason why I haven’t put up a picture on the people pages. It happens to be the same reason why NO ONE who met me in person voted for me in the Mr. Beauty contest. So there.

My list:\*\*  
Grace  
Tatertot  
Scotticher  
Michi\*\*

(These are the four I want to meet most. They are the ones I’ve known the longest out of those who I’m blessed to call my friends here. At least, they are my friends unless and until they DO meet me in person.) :eek:

Of course, there are others I’d like to meet:  
\*\*  
Diane  
Trouble Again  
Golf Widow  
Medea’s Child  
AudreyK  
Nika  
Struuter  
Anti-Pro  
Wacky Ninja  
(all who’ve been nice to me in one way or the other)  
\*\*  
Other intesting people include:\*\*  
Anniz  
jjjfishe  
Frannie (I used the names on this thread to get started, and nearly forgot her. Geez, did NONE of you guys mention her?)  
Guinastasia  
Evilbeth  
\*\*  
I suppose I should mention some males, shouldn’t I? These come to mind:\*\*  
Danielinthewolvesden  
Iampunha  
DaveW0071  
Soulsling  
\*\*  
There are a whole lot of people I’d like to meet, actually–pretty much all of you. My list is limited only to those who I haven’t met in person (some of the LA people), and who I’ve had several interactions with. (Tempting as it was to list hotties that I really haven’t gotten to interact with)

Apologies if I’ve interacted with you on several occasions and didn’t mention you. I don’t dislike you, I just forgot.

[sub]But what the hell do you expect? You didn’t mention ME, ingrate![/sub]

Well I was going to be the first, but **AudryK** beat me to it, so let me be the second to name **danielinthewolvesden** as the poster who I’d most like to meet. Wish you had been at Dave and Busters daniel. You’ll just have to make it to Folsom Street Fair.

There are many others I want to meet. I fear actually putting the names down, don’t want to leave anyone out. Although I would like to meet the rest of the Bay Area dopers I haven’t seen yet. tradesillicon, kyla, sue, gawd, psycat, and others.  
And of course anyone who I’ve had a conversations or debates with on this board. You all know who you are, so no need to name everyone.

I’ll probably be back in town on the 9th, definitely the 10th. We could probably arrange a Doper gathering for that weekend. **Padeye** would most likely join us. Perhaps we could get **lucie** and **DarkHeart** to show as well. Interested?
