Mich, are you passing through the IN/KY area on your way?? I'm already out here, Mid. But I regularly pass through IN on my way up to my cousin's place in Peru. I was up there last summer.

I'm so confused on where everyone is... I didn't know if you were in TD's area or still down here. Next time you're heading through IN, give me a holler!

I'll likely be out here until after the first of the year.

I met Bonnap in Paris in 2009 (2010?)! It was for lunch, the day before I was finally going to be able to see our trashed rental. Because she's a stickler for detail, I should say that I ate lunch, she didn't, LOL.
I was dying to ask her to go with me to see the rental, but didn't dare. Turns out she was dying to ask if she could go with me, but didn't dare. (Of course we both found that out later.) We have become good friends off the boards and have seen each other occasionally since because she comes to Paris regularly to meet up with her BFF.
Bonnap also introduced me to her BFF, who is a highly-certified English teacher in Paris. Bonnap's BFF helped me greatly when I first started teaching, and she has become a good friend too! So I got two friends for the price of one LOL!
Mich, I always wondered, if it's not rude to ask. Did you and TD meet "on the boards"?

Maybe I can work you in when I do my "Southeast Swing" next year. ;D ETA: I can always waive as I fly over, since I'll be hitting 6 airports during my "adventure"! Wait, what?? Southeast swing? How come I'm just now hearing about this?!?!?

I need my wallet to recover from this year's adventure.

Congratulations meghan! What great news.
No one lives near me. I've meet Cheesy because her DH's family lives near me, and they come to visit. I've met one of the moms from WIR because her family lives not too far away to make a trip when she's up this way. There are some other people I would love to meet in-person someday.

That's great! I met Meghan on FB when I was there for about a year. She is a sweetheart! Meghan, where are you? POM is ruining your reputation!! (And, congratulations. I thought you were against the whole idea?! )

Ha! I will be totally honest and say i never thought it was a necessity, and i still feel that way. But this rocks!
My stepmom apparently has been planning our wedding in her head for a week now, so i think we might be having a fucking party!

I think I live relatively close to you! You are in Steelers country, right? we are about 60 miles from the city, but might be moving if DH gets a job there.

There are many on here (also EE and WIR) that I would love to meet but not in their neck of the woods. FWIW, I live in NE Florida (Jags country), aka Tropical Storm Beryl country too.

I probably won't ever get to meet anyone from the boards now that I am moving to Italy. I had always hoped that Meghan would be my first too. Anyone live near Italy?

Count me in for a MA meetup. I think we can get tickets to Fenway for about $2.00 these days.

Sadly the wife and I were both knocked out of the Catan tournament that awards tickets and airfare to GenCon, but we might go anyway. I have no idea who here is close to Indianapolis but you guys would have to swing by and meet us. Have to. You don't get a choice in the matter.

Jen, we definitely have to get together at PAX, we will most likely be going! (and if not we can easily train into the city to see you!) Carl, where in NY are you again, we're in Schenectady every few months visiting a friend out that way. Also, we are in NJ regularly so any folks in the NJ/PA area, that might be an option sometime too. Meg and I were actually at the same soccer game back in March but neither of us realized until after for a MA meetup - some of y'all are most west than I am, so I don't know what a good spot would be - we could plan on watching a Sox game somewhere maybe? I am also up for actually going to a game! (tickets should definitely be cheap, heh. Ugh.)

can someone remind me PAX is going on when it comes around? I'm so not into that stuff, is that one comics or video games? (I really don't know!) I'm totally up for meeting people somewhere though! ;D as far as a MA meetup, I don't know where all of us are scattered. Malarky will probably echo this suggestion, but The Bone in Framingham is a good spot - good food and drinks, we can catch whatever game we're there for, and the drive doesn't suck for the 2 of us. I'm okay with driving though, if there's somewhere else y'all wanna go.
