How many people from the site have you shook hands with?

Postby Sukunai » Thu May 15, 2008 12:05 pm

So I pooched a post obviously. Made a criminal error (apparently) and didn't fully realize who I was remarking to (it would seem).

All of which would not have happened if I actually knew the person.

Just curious, how many of the people on site, do you know in the for real sense of the word. And by that I mean, you've met, been able to actually shake hands.

Because I've found out how little merit there is in pretending to know someone, just on the basis of having known them only in the online connection sense of the word.
I've known some people for years through the internet, and discovered sometimes that is simply not good enough.

To my knowledge, not one person on this forum has ever met the real me, the person on the other side of the screen.
My only off site, real world exposure that might have permitted a meeting, has been the last 3 years of being to Anime North (Toronto Canada). If you've never been there (last 3 years), you've certainly never met me.
Anime, one of the few things about the internet that doesn't make me hate the internet.

The number is probably somewhere between 15 to 20.

AWA a few years ago: handshakes and sometimes uncomfortably more from about 30 people.

AMV dinner at Sakuracon this year: 12ish

I've chilled with about 40-50 or so of the folks from the .org over the years.

Real editors don't shake hands. Real editors HUG.

Oh, geez... at least 10. Most of them don't spend too much time here but do post from time to time. I too wish to make the trip to AWA so that number can climb.

Give a ferret some booze and you might as well have met me.

I've met (at SakuraCon): Vlad Pohnert, Seijin_Dinger, purplepolecat, CorpseGoddess, Vega Sailor, Savia, katsuya_kaiba_chan, and Dagda.

So... 8? Unless I'm forgetting someone. There might have been a couple more but I don't remember their usernames.

Two. After meeting Kalium I basically went 'Fuck meeting these pathetic ass nerds, I'm gonna go hang out with people who have better taste and class instead.' Unfortunately I couldn't seem to find the guro hangout place at Acen.

*edit* three. I forgot I informally met Pwolf too. Just reinforced the entire 'fuck these nerds' thing...

Met ...? I'm not sure ... I SAW a few people at Anime North a few years back ... but all i can remember is booing todd when he got the award for Azumerica and when Haunter got an award ... actually, i didn't realize it but i was sitting like 3 people away from him, lol. then i hung out at the after party but left from boredom (then everyone showed up like 30 minutes after i left, lol). So i've seen a few, met a few (don't remember their names ...) but never shook hands with any. But to be honest, i'm not really very interested in meeting org people in person ... maybe say hi and be all "such and such was a wicked video" and grab a beer or two, but that's about it.
