Slightly OT: How many forum members have you met in person?

wybrit · June 9, 2009 10:55PM

Phone conversations don't count.

I have met the only four in person. In order of meeting:
(1) avarel, at the MOON show in MN. Despite my weak attempts to remain anonymous, he figured out who I was shortly after the start of our 3d duel.
(2) farthing, at a later show.
(3) Civitas, who attends the MN shows regularly.
(4) kieferscoins, who I met at the last Denver Coin Expo in May 2009 (and lives in CO).

Unless I've missed some dealers who have posted here, that's it!

How about y'all?

Perhaps one, at a coin show in the USA one time.

theboz11 · June 9, 2009 11:26PM

I have met a few at the FUN Shows. Several have tables or share.

BillyKingsley · June 10, 2009 12:26AM

None that I am aware of. It should be noted that I've only ever been in two coin shops and never to any shows.

I am planning on attending one of the Parsippany shows soon so that will change as quite a few members attend, and several set up dealer tables. I should be able to find at least one of them if nothing else!

You know, I've only met Josh (civitas) twice at the Pacific Northwest Coin shows - He probably dosen't even remember but was nice meeting a forum memeber I respect.

I'm embarrassed to say that I don't remember all the names of some fellow darksiders I met at Baltimore a couple years ago...I have an absolutely terrible memory for names (even at work it takes me 6 months or so to remember). I do remember a few though

Satootoko (Roy I met in Tokyo--went to a coin shop and had lunch)
Higashiyama (had lunch with Roy and me in Tokyo)
Askari (I had a trip down to Dallas one time and had dinner with him and his lovely family)
Julian (at Baltimore, I've seen him enough that when I show my face he'll tell me if he's got anything Japanese

)
Civitas (Josh...Baltimore)
Danglen (Baltimore, at least I think it’s him at the Black Mountain Coins table…)
Newsman (Baltimore)
TooTawl (Baltimore, more than once)
GMarguli (at NY)

A few primarily litesider dealers at Baltimore (like WayneHerndon and Poorguy), but I didn't say 'hey I know your handle at the CU forums... ' so I don't think that counts.

Oh, and the NEN guys too. I just don’t reveal my secret identity to them and I’ve gotten something at Baltimore and did an ebay pickup in NY with them.

I didn't say hello to, but recognized a couple other Litesiders at Baltimore--I almost plowed into KSteelheader once and I eavesdropped while Airplanenut checked out some coins.

And other than the ones I know I forgot names on, I'm sure I'm missing someone I should be remembering better...

Basically I'm not good at walking up to people I don't know that well and I suck at small talk. Anyone over here I would stop and say hi to, but not the litesiders. Well, Jeremey, now, but the time I saw him I didn't 'know' him as well. Even then I wouldn't be likely to say too much to anyone at first

SYRACUSIAN · June 10, 2009 5:20AM

I've met a few. Excuse me if I don't remember them all at once, I'll edit my post if I realize I left someone out, my brain is functioning at 10% tonight.
