Damn! I meant to leave a long message about 100 messages ago (when I had just returned from my skip, plus, was sober and caffeinated instead of drunk and sleepy) and somehow that message didn't go through.
Anyhoo:
I've met a bunch of LA folks (Aimee, MM, Sean, Lee, Debet was there, Hil was also there, ... who am I missing? I suck) when we saw The Incredibles and had dinner afterwards. I also met a bunch of Somervillians (Erin, VW, Frankenbuddha, Victor, ... who am I missing? I again suck) at Erin's sendoff. Plus there was that time I ate dinner with Debetesee and Hil in NYC when we were all there at the same time.
Buffista visits were always amazing experiences for me. Such quick movements from "stranger" to "fun!". Even though I wouldn't say I really "know" anybody from the board, it's always impressed me how quickly I at least get along with the Buffistas I've met in person.
This year, the F2F should be near me (Boston or NYC looking like the obvious candidates), so hopefully I shall meet more of you. I'm looking forward to it!
