Jazz is pretty cool.  We've hung out in person several times.  You've made
a wise choice.

Over the years I've met a great number of Grexers, so it's tough just coming
up with somebody cool I haven't met yet.

I'm not sure I've met gull yet.  I've never met bdh3.

I met quite a few Grexers on our trip to A2, but I know I missed quite 
a few people.

Of the remaining, I'd honestly have to say I'd like to meet Carrie 
(oval) next.

Contenders, however, included the couples cb311 and winipooh, and 
munkey and kornnut.

oo so flattered. i'm still thinking .. i've never met any of you, and there
are several here i find particularly interesting.

(sadly, I can think of at least two Grexers who have passed away that I
would have liked to have met.  outside of them, I guess the conditions
limit my choices to, oh, just slightly over 99% of all Grexers past 
and present.  ;)  anyway, at this moment, it's a toss-up between 
krismadh and sholmes.  I first met them online last summer when Yahoo!
euchre made me an insomniac, and learned much about India and its
neighbors, plus developed a greater understanding of cricket.  since
both are in Asia [last I checked], a meeting likely would be prohibitively
expensive.)

(now, if you wanted to know which Grexer I'd like to meet *again*, that's
a whole 'nother cross-dressin' chicken.)

I've met pretty much everyone in the Ann Arbor and Lansing area, but I never
got to meet the Alpena crowd.  Grexmom recognized my family's name (I grew
up in Alpena), and she and I have been trying to meet for a few years.

Sounds to me like mynxcat needs to arrange to come to A^2 sometime and
have dinner with folks here.

happyboy.

probably #1 would be richard. because I've known him online for so long, and
I'd like to know if he's as much as a twit IRL, or if (like me) he's a more
pleasant person IRL than online (or so people tell me, about me).

Hm, even coming from Europe for visits in 1998 and 1999, I think I have 
met more grexers than I can recall. Many are still around, some have 
vanished in the mists of cyberspace. Names that come to mind are 
bhelliom, mooncat, jazz, popcorn/valerie, janc, scott, other, scg, 
daddrock, tpryan, michaela (who changes her pseudo every so often), 
keesan, morgaene, jiffer, remmers, Ken, orinoco, eeyore and loads of 
others I have forgotten to mention. (No ill intention, guys)

I want to meet danr for cycling reasons

Coincidentally I am trying to arrange for another visit coming 
September.

I seem to notice posts from grexers I've met much more than I notice posts
from people I only know online.  Even if I've only seen someone's face once
or twice, I seem to end up with a much more vivid impression of their
personality when I see them again on grex.  The grexers I've never met who
_do_ stand out in my mind tend to be the ones who argue a lot -- I just
identify them with their political views, rather than with their faces and
habits.  So I've got pretty vivid impressions of brighn, rcurl, jazz, richard,
and russ, even though I've never met any of them.  There's also people who
stand out because they tell stories, rather than just making conversation,
and I can identify them by their prose voice: bdh and jep are the first two
I think of.  So I'd be curious to meet all of these people just to see if I've
formed the right mental images of them.  

I agree with Mary -- it'd be real interesting to meet happyboy.  (I'd also
like to meet Michael Deliza sometime.  I think Mary and I just have similar
taste in people.)

(happyboy isn't known for his long posts.)

I'd like to meet bdh3, cmcgee and dbunker.

I'd like to meet lots of Grexers.  I *have* met lots, and they've all 
been interesting and nice.

i think it depends on the activity. if it were having some drinks and shooting
some pool i'd want slynne and happyboy with me. if i were going biking maybe
sindi. if i were going to wonder the urban streets of america - beady.
remmers, jazz, mary, marcus, capn'n and the wife, brighn all seem like
intersting company too. i'm sure there are others.

One?  Just one???  Holy crap!  I mean, come on!  I'm not going to give you
just one, because I couldn't.

Aruba
Mary
Michaela
Valerie

Mooncat, I'd list you, but I am 99% sure I have met you at an m-net happy
hour.

Hey...neat!  I was going to list you, edina.

Oh...duh...how could I forget beeswing?

Oh yeah, beeswing!  How could I also forget?  :)

Right, I'd like to meet beeswing too.  And md.

I missed out on a chance to meet beeswing several years ago.  Mea culpa.

How could I not have a good time with Remmers?  Single malt scotch, primo
cigars, tea and classic rags?  And with the choice of one Remmers, I must
certainly get to meet Mary, and hear the house's favorite cello
solos.  (She must be itching to perform, the Life Sciences Orchestra being
on hiatus.)  I'll bring rosin and lapsang souchong?

I would say that I would like to meet md but I dont really want to meet 
him because the mystery makes it fun. 

It might be fun to meet brighn. 

I think playing pool with oval would be a hoot. :)

resp:26  I'll second that notion.. I enjoyed meeting John and Mary 
Remmers =)

on that point, what was the most fun was bringing in a bit of a 
ragtime composition I'd done and watch him play further, working upon 
that material.

I forgot a couple of people: grimaldi, steve weiss and senna.
I bet I still forgot some.

oval reminds me a bit of creature for those of you who remember her. 
That is a good thing, really.

This response has been erased.

yes, creature was a user. 

I can also add my highest recommendation of both of the Remmers.

resp:31 yes, jazz is interesting-- my impression was he seemed pretty 
genuine.

Wow.  Nice comments.  Thanks.

Keep a watchful eye out for me. I'll becoming to AA in September. I 
just a flight.

I'm looking forward to meeting edina in two weeks and clees in September.
