whoisjohngalt and I figured out earlier this week that we live creepily close to each other. We'll be meeting tomorrow. Hopefully we both make it out alive!

Lol! I pm from the west coast and I don't think I could have figured out what the heck this was if I didn't have a college education that included linguistics classes.

Well, then you are close to Malarky, Chiver, Carl, Cael, EmpressPunkles, Soskiomo, Jake and me and a little less close but still in the same ballpark to Archie and DeminMaine and Ava and (one more CT poster who's name escapes me in my fevered haze at the moment). Did I miss anybody else? If so, I apologize. Too funny, though. As I tell my kids "you always have to be on your best behavior -- you never know if the person standing next to you in some random public place is really your creepy internet BFF".

All I am going to say is that I never EVER in a million and half years thought that i would EVER meet anyone from this board.
Although.....I've been hinting to Malarky to invite me to her bakery.....that hasn't happened yet

I'm actually going to be scary close to CarolinaKat starting Saturday evening. Sadly, I don't think I'll have time to meet up with her, though I'd love to.
midjd- when are you going to fall for my "come to Seattle" pitch. Not that any of the MANY of us who live in the Seattle area have ever gotten together.
Firebird is the only one I've met from here, and she asked me to pick her up at the airport and drive her to the deep dark woods on our first meeting. C decided that sounded to axe murdery, so he came with me to drive her to the deep dark woods, which seemed a little axe murdery to her, but we're both still alive....

whoisjohngalt - shouldn't you actually be wondering if Firebird is the one who has disappeared? I mean, how often is she on the boards anymore? And haven't she and Sum Dum Gai had a few "missed" meetups...

A work conference I go to makes its way to Tacoma every few years, so we may meet yet. I'd love to meet you and GG and HoneyBBQ and Crone... who else is up there? CK, sorry you guys are avoiding DH's dad. We should definitely go to lunch again the next time you're in the area. Maybe we can rope in Bsb and Phoenix too! I was waiting on Dark or Firebird to plan the big Vegas gettogether but then Firebird got her non-Proboards-friendly job and Dark is all busy with the store and stuff. I want to go to Vegas and see y'all. I'm trying to get to Vegas this Nov. for a work conference thing.

I let you guys know that I was in Vegas last month, but nobody wanted to meet up. You all know where the store is, or can find it in 5 seconds on Google, so feel free to stop in and say hi if you're ever in the area.
