How Many DU'rs Have You Actually Met

[Parche]

1 for me..................

:woohoo: :woohoo: :hi:

[flvegan]

1. Just 1.

Nobody else wants to meet me.

:cry: :cry:

[HERVEPA]

12. but the important one!

[flvegan]

14. You've made a fine point.

I'm batting 1,000 with my DU meet-ups.

[Radio_Lady]

48. I've wanted to meet you, FLvegan, but didn't get to your part of FL.

Hoping to meet at least a couple of you in Massachusetts.

But my sister-in-law in Boston is to busy to put together a birthday party for me.

Oh, well. We'll get to see at least part of the family, including a new grandnephew who was just a bulge in his Mommy's tummy last December in Sanibel Island, Florida. Now he's the newest member of our family.

Welcome, Ethan Joseph!

Peace,

Radio Lady Ellen in OR

[Midlodemocrat]

29. You'll be singing a different tune when the Midlos descend on you.

[LeftyMom]

41. Hey, somebody PM'd you offering to visit just the other day.

:rofl:

[flvegan]

62. Getting challenged to a fistfight

by a douchebag...meh. I'm not here to solve DUer penile "coulda been a contender" issues. And me beating the shit out of somebody because the asked me to, not my cup of tea.

[LeftyMom]

63. Dude, if you really cared you've have taken him up on it and got video.

The Lounge could have staved off ennui another day. But nooooooooooo.

[flvegan]

74. Yeah, well

Problem is, I don't believe in violence.

Sometimes, wannabe folks are just that. Let them fume. Fuck 'em. Wannabe fucking nobody.

[LeftyMom]

75. Well, there you go, passing up your chance at YouTube stardom.

Oh well, from now on just forward all requests for fights to me. I could use the outlet for my pent-up aggression, I have no compunctions about ending fights other people start, and anybody with nothing better to do than try to start fights with strangers on the internets deserves to get beat down by a girl.

[Gormy Cuss]

2. Are you counting yourself?

:hide:

[Critters2]

28. Oh, yeah, That would make it 3! nt

[Starbucks Anarchist]

3. About 20 or so.

[speedoo]

66. About 15 for me.

At a meetup in Manhattan. SA was there!

I dig the avatar, SA. Miles is so cool and Steamin's a great album.

[madinmaryland]

4. Technically three.

I met Flaxbee when we adopted a cat from her.

I walked passed Taverner and GoddessofGuinness in a bar last fall when we were supposed to meet up. We didn't know who we were looking for. :shrug:

[Parche]

5. Flaxee

She is the best, I have talked with her on phone....:woohoo: :woohoo:

:hi:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

31. Don't forget Seemunkee!

He was there too... :hi:

[madinmaryland]

64. D'oh!!

How did your concert go this weekend?

My daughter's went well!

[GoddessOfGuinness]

69. You mean the Beethoven, a couple of weeks ago?

It went very well. We were sold out Saturday, and Sunday was pretty close to it.

This past weekend my quartet gave a recital, which was well-received, though there weren't too many people in attendance...maybe 60. Still, that's not a bad turnout for an new unknown group. We gave a practice run the weekend before, at a house party. You wouldn't have believed the house...The owner collects calliopes! It was pretty wild.

I'm glad to hear your daughter's concert went well. She'll enjoy our next performance, as it will feature the young soloist competition winners. :hi:

[madinmaryland]

76. When is your next performance. I think she (and us too) would be

interested in that!

:hi:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

79. May 31st at 7:30pm...

I can remember when May 31st was Memorial Day. This year it falls on the 28th! :D

[underpants]

6. You people are real?

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

23. 6 or 7 from back in the day

youngred, MusicTVStar, fricaseed_rat??/Caroline, John Kleeb, leftistrebel and a couple others.

I met Zack (youngred) about 5 years ago and have seen him about 3 times, Caroline and I were neighbors for awhile in '06, Michele (MusicTVStar) and I met in Scotland, Derek (leftist rebel) visited me in NY, and Kleeb and the others I've met up with in DC. :)

[GOPisEvil]

43. Damn, there are some old school names there.

I met Zack, Kleeb, Caroline and a bunch of others in DC one time. Good times. Except for the ginormous flake of red pepper that went into my eye. That was not good times.

Your post made me smile thinking about some of the really good people I've met and/or gotten to know.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

82. omg HIII

[BarenakedLady]

24. Three

so far.

[Inchworm]

:hi:

[appal_jack]

61. hey bro!

:hi:

I got to meet Inchworm briefly a few weeks back. I know I've met other DU'ers (including at least one other who lives in our neck of the woods but whose DU name I have forgotten), but the total is certainly less than four so far.

-app

[Critters2]

That includes whoisalhedges. He's like 6825 people.

[RainDog]

I would say the number is in excess of 100, easily.

[LeftyMom]

[YDogg]

42. zero

:shrug:

[malta blue]

44. I work with a couple of them....

and am good friends with an ex-DUer.

[av8rdave]

45. I got to meet CaliforniaPeggy and Mr. CaliforniaPeggy!

[Radio_Lady]

54. How nice! Next December, we're going to a couple of CA destinations, but not close enough to meet.

However, CaliforniaPeggy is in my thoughts anytime I see a beautiful sunset or hear a glorious poem.

In peace,

Radio Lady in Oregon

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

46. A couple dozen.

We hang out pretty often, and we've had visits from Rabrrrrrr and Turtlensue. I even work with an (infrequent) one.

[Mind_your_head]

47. Do having met now tombstoned members count as "meeting members"?

:shrug:

[Breeze54]

49. No one... yet.

;)

[Radio_Lady]

51. Hi Breeze. I'd love to meet you and...

I'll send you our itinerary if you want. PM me if you wish.

We will be staying in Waltham and Dedham.

May 22 to (exit day) June 1. May 31st is my 69th Birthday. Tentatively, we'll get together at Joe's American Grill in Dedham on that day.

Cordially,

Radio Lady Ellen and Audio Al

[Breeze54]

52. Well; if I have my

dental surgery by then, then OK but otherwise... we'll see. :)

I finally got my health insurance approved but now I need

to find a Dr. taking new patients. Ugh. My former Dr. isn't.

Also I maybe moving then... I have a lot "up in the air".

It's always something but it would be nice to meet a fellow DUer! :D

[Radio_Lady]

53. OK. Well, stay in touch. I sent you some contact information. Good luck on the dental surgery.

I spent about four years getting treated by Oral Surgical Associates, Framingham, MA.

The surgeon there was Dr. Robert Smith, but he has probably retired. My general dentist in Wayland, MA, has retired to Punta Gorda, Florida. I called him on one of our Florida trips, but hubby didn't want to detour to go see him and his wife.

Thanks for the info.

Sincerely,

Radio Lady and Audio Al

[supernova]

50. Oh, 20 or so

I love meeting DUers.

:woohoo:

[JTG of the PRB]

55. El Zilcho.

BUT... It anybody is coming around for the events of the DNC in Denver this August, I'd be more than happy to meet up!

[kineneb]

56. none, I live in the boonies

first they would have to find me... :rofl:

[Mind_your_head]

57. So not many democrats have actually 'met' with each other...yet they

share the same timeless values.....across age, gender, race.....

Whereas repukes :puke: make 'deals' ALWAYS, ALL THE TIME....F O L L O W T H E (fiat) MONEY......

[femmocrat]

58. None, sad to say.

:cry:

I do have a friend who comes here, but we met before joining DU.

[SPKrazy]

59. So far just 1

and that was memorable :evilgrin:

[Guava Jelly]

60. Face to face only one.

But I have talked to four on the phone so far.
Three of them just today. :pals:
It has been a very good day! :woohoo:

[LibDemAlways]

65. Two are family members, and I met some others

at a DU get-together some years back. Most of the people who were there that day don't post on DU anymore, though, so I guess you could say I've met several former DUers.

[Cant trust em]

67. Does that include the person who told us about it?

I not, then zero.

[Guaranteed]

68. A bunch, back when I was popular. nt

[KitchenWitch]

70. >

[struggle4progress]

71. Maybe 10

[SoxFan]

72. Three that I know of

There aren't that many folks from NH on DU, but I've met a few. Most recently, I met Zanne at an Obama campaign meeting back in December

[auntAgonist]

73. five I think ...

Progmom
Misunderestimator
1GoBlueDem
Joan_Alpern
BillySkank

aA
kesha

[Blue_In_AK]

77. Several

at peace marches in DC, most especially InTheFlow who we later visited in Biloxi and who stayed with us for a week last summer. DUers are cool.

[LiberalEsto]

78. Two

Will Pitt and Kitchenwitch, very briefly, at demonstrations in DC.

[KamaAina]

80. N + 4, where N = the number of people at the NYC meetup in '05 or '06

you remember, the one where we snuck up into people's rooms at the "Milf Plaza" (the "ord" lights were out :P )!

Three of the other four are or were out here, of course. I finally caught up with the fourth (no longer active here, alas) last Twelfth Night in New Orleans. He called me a cab to take me back to the Quarter, and had to read his own street address off the pillar in front of the house! :beer:

edit: D'oh! How could I have forgotten that? :dunce:

[Javaman]

81. none and I want to keep it that way, thank you very much! lol nt
