The only one I see regularly is Bumblebeeboy2, who is a top lad, if a little too much of a piss-taker sometimes. However, I have met Surfer, Kitty, Cheesy, Zub, Benji & Gypsy and I had a really good time with them all. Would love to meet them all again actually.
There are loooooads I would like to meet. Still gutted I didn't get to meet floop when he was here.
 I'd walk her everyday, into a shady place

I've only met 2 members in person, Dean and Mike2.
It was a whole lotta fun,
I may have had too much to drink...

Forgot to say that I would be glad to meet Owen one day. At a Pixies gig, so I guess this will never happen.

I've met people from other online forums, but not this one. I guess I'd like to someday, but I'm not sure whether anyone would be able to put up with me.
I was all out of luck, like a duck that died. I was all out of juice, like a moose denied. |

| I think I've made friends, but I won't name any of them. They might point at me and laugh about me thinking they're my friend. |

Well, let's just say it involves a cat and some porn. People can fill in the blanks. |

it's funny b/c when i first came here all i wanted were tickets to the fineline show. but i have made many friends here and it's just refreshing to meet people with the same GOOD musical taste.
I have met virtual friends that I just chat with, other friends that we trade music and then one real life friend that lives here in minny... so it's a pretty cool deal.
I have waited so long to chat endlessly about the pixies and frank black's music and i found it...
HUGS :)

thanks crispy! real glad i got to meet up with you. likewise- you're a real cool cat from edmonton! love that story of how you hosted a big post fb bash after the show in edmonton for your buddies- sacrificing the opportunity to meet up with the man and then finding out that your mom and bro got to meet the man after the show! if you had time that would be a great story for the close encounters with the man thread!
http://forum.frankblack.net/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=14027&whichpage=1
and thanks for giving me a hard copy of your cd swap#4!
looking forward to continue meeting up with cool fbnet people. next months the fu's will be partying with the daisy's down in minni at a new pornographers show!

When I get home I'll go talk to those two and see what they remember; it's been a couple years now, but sometime in the next couple weeks I'll whip something up and share their story. Just went through that thread and saw some sweet anecdotes, I'll be glad to add.

I went to the same small Camper Van Beethoven show as "Dallas" but didn't know he was at the show (or who he is even) until after we both posted about it. I think Tobafett lives pretty close up in Oklahoma so if Frank ever comes back to Dallas for a Catholics show or somesuch maybe I will see him there. Other than that, no fb.netters around this area in Texas I don't think, and none visiting regularly, unless they just blow me off when they come to Texas.
All of the true things I am about to tell you are shameless lies |

I hate to pop in just to say "LOL", much less to just say "LOL" in a message, nevermind even typing "LOL" once, much less three times, but this almost cost me a cubit of Coca-Cola through my nose and on the keyboard. Great thread, interesting to read about the meet ups.
I've met a few people from here, all great. A girl from beyond the internet in Porto, a nice Frenchman and his family in Strasbourg, a really cool/nice/down-to-earth moderator-to-be in New York, not to mention a sweet-to-the-bone girl (and her charming though Pixies-deficient-though-still-all-the-way-in-New-York-to-see-them husband), a man of many claims to fame though none so obvious as his good nature, and so on. Assuming I'm back through the UK in December (and not off to Australia or New Zealand like I've been thinking about lately), I hope to meet a few more.

I've met Ramona and CofF - a fine time was had by all, or maybe I should say a fine time was had by me. I hoped to meet up with Ramona, Mereubu and Zanni when I was in the US a few months back, but we only managed to speak on the phone. I was due to meet up with Bazza, but his partner, the very forceful Sarah, objected. The Clopser keeps on threatening to visit, but I distrust his motives. My matchmaking skills have also been employed ont his forum, but that is another story!

I have met up with Old Neptuna, Therewererumours, SteveplymouthUK and Ramona of course. All lovely people. I do email Stu clopster and Brendan T as well (albeit not too frequently - sorry lads). As for Andy 'Ten Percenter' - bad egg. He keeps threatening my girlfriend and I also know he is a closet Glasgow Rangers fan as well.

I have reached out to many on this board, but they have all rejected me. For Floop has turned them away from me for I speak the truth about Charles Thompson's birth at St. Elisabeth's Hospital in Boston, MA.
I got swift boated. |

Thanks Dean, I think! Have you forgiven me for the warm beer and Islay Malt whisky?
