Congratulations, jengod!!!!!
I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
happy birthday Vortex
hooray ,jengod!
I think the first time I met people was at the buffista tea in sf, but it also might have been at JZ's house. I honestly can't keep it straight...I do know the first couple of times I met people I reverted to my very shy , self - consious self - but that doesn't seem to be a real problem . a little strained when I met people one on one , but that's because my job is listener, not talker . ( even though I can talk you ear off - but only sometimes)

I met buffistas, thessaly and victor, before I joined the board, and I met a bunch of Sommervillians shortly after that. I don't think I would have had to nerve to meet people in meatspace if it hadn't happened that way.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Congrats, jengod and Andrew!!!

Now tagless for your comfort.
when have you met an online friend in face-space for the first time? In what circumstances?
I flew to London for a meet up with bronzers in Cardiff, Wales. First friend I met in person was a kid named Simon with the most incomprehensible Welsh accent. We met at Paddington Station and went straight to a pub and got shit faced drunk.
