How many CBR posters do you know in "real life"?

[Evo Schandor]

As I read thru the different forums, it's obvious that some (or maybe a lot) of the people here know each other in "real life" i.e. names, locations, families, jobs, families, phone #s, etc. So I guess my question is - how many do you know? And how did you meet if it's an interesting story...

[Fenris]

Ummm... maybe two dozen? Almost all of them from the San Diego Comics Con; though if we count phone conversations then I can add Papergirl and Mike Smash.

[Wesley Dodds]

I've met Paul Newell and Pol Rua in real life. In fact, I see Pol every week.

[Solaris]

I've met DarlingNikki several times now and her hubby Dex once (she lives in my city, woot!). JustinD and his gf Kristina came by our place to visit when in Atlanta, and we also met West3man and his gf Victoria out for a couple of meals when they were in town.

Perry Holley and his wife live here, and we were friends before CBR. Heck, Perry *introduced* me to CBR!

I've met Papergirl in Orlando when we were on vacation, along w/some of her friends down there. Met Jonah, Jim MacQuarrie and wife Teri, and JadeDragon (Patrick Blaine) at our hotel for drinks when we were in L.A.

Pretty much everyone else I've met in person was at Dragoncon: Bert, Michael Pullman (formerly Writerboy), Loren, Azangel, Jasper (who's also visited w/us a couple of times outside the con), Quarterwolf, Ragnarok, Watcher, Jade69Legolady, Ronald Bryan, and some other folks I'm brainfarting on right now because I have a headache and need to go to bed. Argh.

Also, except for my three year old son, my whole family posts here: me, hubby BubbaJoWants, daughter Chibistarjumper, daughter DarkBlade and her husband Tadhg.

[The MunchKING]

"real Life"?? What is this "real Life" of which you speak??


OHHH!! You mean the Comic strip??

[JadeDragon]

Met Jonah, Jim MacQuarrie and wife Teri, and JadeDragon (Patrick Blaine) at our hotel for drinks when we were in L.A.


Zang...That was so fun. Memories! When you all coming back for a visit?

Hope all is well!~~~JadeDragon (Patrick)

[Tages]

I met Brandon, Nicole, beatnikman and Citrus at Wondercon.

That's, uh, it.

[Mike Smash!]

I've met most of the local CBRers.

Greg and Julie Hatcher and Cei-U!, I consider good friends. I've also met MarkAndrew, SOGG, Rob Allen, Howyadoin, K'Nort, DarlingNikki and her husband Dex, Scott Shaw!, Gail Simone, DarkBlade, the whole MacQuarrie clan and a couple others that escape me right now.

On the phone, I've talked to Fenris, Papergirl, JeffreyWKramer and ragnarok_2012.

Lots of good people on CBR....

[Tages]

There are plenty of people on CBR with whom I would like to converse on the phone. I actually gave my phone number to a former poster who shall remain nameless* but never spoke to them.


*And it's not Slayven. The first person to suggest it was iwarrior can kiss me between the back pockets. This person's very public falling out occurred prior to either of them.

[Smoogis]

I went to a wedding, and I haven't been the same since. (Rallura and BB's wedding, and, uh...crap *lists* Ronlad Bryan was there, Quarterwolf was there, Jadie! was there, Mattbib was there, Tranceptor, Mistrust, Cosmic Cat, Sir Tim, Tadgh, Rin (Darkblade), I didn't get to see morts, because he just HAD to leave the day before I got there! Yarrrgh!)

Oh, and I talked to Fabian on the phone. Twice. Because he was bored.

what new and exciting changes will happen at SDCC? DUNDUNDUN

[Jared_Humpherys]

alas, from these boards, not a one. *sigh*

[atoningunifex]

I've met 47 CBRians.

Well, if stalking them and filming their every move counts as meeting.

Otherwise- I've only actually met one CBR person in real life. And he doesn't know we've met. Weird, huh?

[cable guy]

I hope to meet some at the Philadelphia Con in June.

[GozertheGozarian]

None, as yet. But if anyone is in the Denver area? Best I can say is a few mudders.

Didn't you want to actually meet them?

[Deathstroke]

Between the back pockets? Well, one would hope whoever takes you up on that nasty little offer finds a well washed surface area....

[Deathstroke]

I hope to meet some at the Philadelphia Con in June.

I'm going to WWPhilly, so my total CBR people met will most likely rise from a whopping big fat zero.

Much to those person's chagrin I'm sure. LOL!

[Fabian]

Oh, and I talked to Fabian on the phone. Twice. Because he was bored.
You make me look like an arse, you wish me to call you when I'm really not bored?

[Smoogis]

You make me look like an arse, you wish me to call you when I'm really not bored?

Okay, the first time he called was to thank me for the secret santa gift.

The second time, he was bored.

happy?

[darkkeeperjr]

"real Life"?? What is this "real Life" of which you speak??


OHHH!! You mean the Comic strip??
I think he means the sims or the people that past by my window.My obession with star wars/star trek keeps me "real life"

[cosmic cat]

dont worry ames, Fabian only calls me when he's bored too. :p we can beat him up at SDCC.

and I met a bunch of the same people Smoogis did, because they were all at the wedding :D
and yeah, I was pretty mad I didn't get to meet morts either. ditching us is unacceptable.

[Smoogis]

Yes.

Morts must pay.

[Fabian]

Okay, the first time he called was to thank me for the secret santa gift.

Now I look like a half-ass. You do know next time I have a chance and it's not late that I will call you.


Smoogis is shy by the way

[Smoogis]

Smoogis is shy by the way

I've been saying that.

No one believes me.

[Fabian]

dont worry ames, Fabian only calls me when he's bored too. :p we can beat him up at SDCC
Two against one? I can deal, but you're also a liar too. I call because my stereo was stolen and I like to make the car trip go by quicker by having a conversation

[Fabian]

I've been saying that.

No one believes me.
I didn't until you were flabbergasted that I actually called. The next time, you were better, but still shy but you told me about some kid at school who you wanted to kill

[cosmic cat]

ahaha okay, so you called to whine...;)

Im just kidding. I love it when you call. I just wish I was around more often to actually receive the calls.

[Smoogis]

I didn't until you were flabbergasted that I actually called. The next time, you were better, but still shy but you told me about some kid at school who you wanted to kill

That is quite possible.

I have many at school I want to kill.

[Fabian]

ahaha okay, so you called to whine...;)
I can never win

Im just kidding. I love it when you call. I just wish I was around more often to actually receive the calls
Same here. Although it's only been like twise that's happened

[Fabian]

That is quite possible.

I have many at school I want to kill.
That's the Smoogis I like talking to. The innocent girl voice that says evil things


Oh and this is like the 5th thread I've seen asking who we know in real life and I still know the same people, except now I know Jonah. I would know StoneGold but I'm not good enough for him to stop and say hi too

[Grant]

I've never met anyone on CBR. I just send my twin brother Garreth to pose as me.

That's right Brian Cronin, Bouncing Boy, Rallura, Austin, Joe Rice and Kid Omega you never met the real Grant.

[Fabian]

That's right Brian Cronin, Bouncing Boy, Rallura, Austin, Joe Rice and Kid Omega you never met the real Grant.
Is Cronin a moderating nazi in real life too?

[i_mmmchocolate]

Is Cronin a moderating nazi in real life too?

Definitely.

Last time we met up, he even assigned us seats!

[i_mmmchocolate]

Let's see:

Ed Cunard, Shawn Hoke, Sir Tim Drake, Joe Rice, Kid Omega, Austin, Rally, Morts, Papergirl, Brian Cronin, Michael Pullmann...


I'll meet the rest of you at SDCC.

Yee!

[Fabian]

Definitely.

Last time we met up, he even assigned us seats!
And you listened to him? Cronin has no power in real life! It's a lie if he says he does


Oh and Ill meet new people at SDCC too.

[Grant]

Is Cronin a moderating nazi in real life too?

Garreth said he kept asking pop culture trivia questions. I heard Goebbels was big on that.

[howyadoin]

So far: koop, Cei-U!, Ron Allen, Greg & Julie Hatcher, Ta2grrl, kmeyers, Ronlad, the penguin, Fabian, Alex, Rally and BB, DarkBlade and Trix, Hawk, fly, Puma, Brandon and Nicole, Royal, Dan Apodaca, the Engine, WriterBoy, Ponda, Jim MacQuarrie, Buried Alien, Jonah, Punchy, Bright Raven, Sir Tim, Mike Smash!, clayholio, DarkingNikki, k'nort, Gail...

I know I'm forgetting somebody here.




Oh, and there are the people I've just done long-distance shots with (so far, anyway): Evil Sneak, Nitmo, Papergirl, and the lovely Jade69.

[BlairH]

I know Gaz in real life. One of my University pals.

Met him on the Uni Freshers week, he was queing up to see "Hypno-Dog" (a local dog that hypnotises people) or someting and I noticed that he had a Forbidden Planet bag in his hand.

For the first 2-3 weeks of me knowing him I did not actually know his name :( So I kept trying to trick him into telling me his name again by indirectly asking him questions like "uuhh, what's your email address?" (knowing that the university email adresses incorporate the student's name) and he said "Well you know my name so you should know my email address" and then I said "of course I know your name lol! I meant your normal email address, not the student one!"

Eventually found out his name when I saw him write it down on a sign up sheet for a class :o

Bet he didn't know that :p

[MissKale]

2

One should be obvious

And the other doesn't post here any more since he started going to Law School.

[BlairH]

2

And the other doesn't post here any more since he started going to Law School.

So he/she is one of those "good" law students that does really well and doesn't sit around posting here? Pah! Ah well good for him/her I suppose.

"I may be damned, but I'm not dragging you good people down with me" -Frank Castle

[DonC]

Lemme think, I've met Jonah, koop, DarkBlade (actually stayed with her at Star Wars Celebration III), Christopher Burton and a bunch of CrossGen fans who don't post here anymore.

[I Must Break U]

One! I know vcreed. He was actually the one that introduced me to the board, and we also use to be roomates.

[mattbib]

Ronald Bryan, Jade69/Legolaslady, Rallura, Bouncing Boy, Quarterwolf, DarkBlade, Morts, Smoogis, Cosmic Cat, Tranceptor Cat, 13th, The Lucky One, Dizzy D, Tom, Fly on the Wall, Koop, Simply JD, Mary Brickthrower, Sir Tim Drake, MisTrust and Tadgh Adams.

Edit: Nevermind...I actually forgot the most recent that I've met:
bakla, Brian Cronin, Mr. Jip, Jean

[howyadoin]

People I'll be meeting in July: Cos & Smoogis, Bibby, Rags, phoenixrising, not Papergirl, ArchivalGrading, Quarterwolf, C.O. Jones...

[Hawk]

Let's see if I can remember everyone. If I forget anyone, sorry.

Fabian, Alex, Ron, howyadoin, meyers, Rally, Bouncing Boy, Sir Tim, Tadgh (or whatever), DarkBlade, Clan MacQ, koop, Punchy, Royal, Puma, Brandon and Nicole....screw it, any of y'all that went to SDCC '04.

I've spoken to Quarterwolf and Ragnorok on the phone

And I stop by and say hi to Paradox about once a week. Don't want him actually doing any work or anything.

[thik_3rd]

you people are real? :eek:

[The MunchKING]

you people are real? :eek:
Actually meta and I have been called

http://img217.echo.cx/img217/6494/spambots7mv.jpg

[Smell]

I've met Punchy, but then who hasn't (slut)

I've also met Roguespirit and his beautiful other half.

Other than that, no one else comes to London!

Dom

smells half way across the world

[Greg Hatcher]

Well, let's see. I'm going to take the cheap way out and just say "everyone who's been to the San Diego convention between 1999-2005," or it would take me hours to type up otherwise.

Apart from that... as Mike said, we enjoy seeing him and Cei-U, they're more or less neighbors. In fact we enjoy everyone we see at the periodic CBR Northwest gatherings: Mike, Kurt, howyadoin, Rob Allen, and as of the last one, knorth and Tom Orz. We missed DarlingNikki and her husband that time but caught up with them the next day at Emerald City Con, along with Gail. Here (http://forums.comicbookresources.com/showthread.php?t=42349) are Nikki's photos from that occasion.

Let's see. Darkblade and Engine were both in Julie's and my wedding, and F. Chong Rutherford, the entire MacQuarrie clan, and Mike Smash and Cei-U showed up for it, as well. And speaking of weddings, Julie and I were the only CBR folks at Brandon and Nicole's wedding.

We spent an evening with Papergirl at Children's Hospital last winter; she was here visiting her niece-in-all-but-blood, who was very ill and seeing a specialist there. Not the happiest occasion but we were glad to get to see her and hopefully provide a little moral support.

And we have caught Punchy on tour, as well as koop. Those two are practically gimmes. But it's always fun to see them and they are both very generous about sharing their respective 'backstage' privileges with CBR.

I think that's it. I know I will forget someone -- I always do -- but that should be pretty much everyone.

[Shellhead]

Just two, Punchy and Tricksterpup. I met Punchy the usual way, when he was in town for a show. Tricksterpup was kind of a surprise. He is part of a large extended group of friends and acquaintances that I know here in the Twin Cities, most of whom I met in a vampire larp. I may or may not have mentioned CBR to him while drinking coffee with vampires one night, or maybe Tricksterpup found CBR on his own. At some point, I noticed his posting name in the Avengers forum here and recognized it as being almost identical to his email address that I had see many times, so I sent him a private message here to confirm his identity.

[Rebuilt In Error]

No-one.

It gets lonely over here *sniff*
and the window is open so it's cold as well. *cough cough*

I think I might go and force feed someone some worms.


MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

*sniffle*

[fly on the wall]

I've met a ton of CBRers at cons, sometimes in groups of ten or thirty. So I think we should make it a rule that you have to have your CBR posting name attached to you when at an event with other posters.

All of your CBR posting names since some people change and change in a futile search for a cool posting name like mine.

[C.O. Jones]

I know that McPuncherson dude from 2 tours that came through H-Town. That's all.



He'd say that I'm the better man from it... :rolleyes:

[BlairH]

you people are real? :eek:

My theory is that the whole of CBR is just 1 person and he/she is a schitzophrenic and just has arguments/shares opinions with his/herself.

[Alex]

All of your CBR posting names since some people change and change in a futile search for a cool posting name like mine.
You called me a dissapointment when you met me.
I cried.

[Beatnikman]

Well, the only one I really know is Citrus-Man, and I've known him over 12 years (we were college roommates at one point).


But I've had pie with the MacQ clan, then dinner with Jim MacQ and his daughter at Fabian's, so I met him, too (thanks again for the "college professor" discount, bro). At Wonder Con this year I met EZMohr, and had dinner with Brandon, Nicole, and Tages.

Everybody that I've met has been friendly and generally cool. Someday I will make it to SDCC to verify that it's just the general rule for CBR folks.


Also someday I will make the half-hour drive to meet Puma. I don't really have a good excuse for not doing that already.

[Nitmo]

Well Bouncing Boy and I have been good friends for years before I even started posting here.

At SDCC 01 I met Loren, Tadgh/Trix, Darkblade, Greg Hatcher, Slick, Al(istair), the Engine (where is he? I think I may still have an old nametag he left at SDCC), Fenris, Punchy, Brandon and Nicole Hanvey, Sir Tim Drake, Mr Blond, Ramona Juanita, Azangel (briefly), Jonah (also briefly), Buried Alien, Fly, Cei-U, Dan Apodaca, The MacQ clan, Scott Shaw! (briefly), and a couple other people whose names I can't remember: one was a half-asian girl from NY who was/is into weezer, and the other was a guy from Mass who stacked boxes for David sunflower seeds at the time. (zilch is this you?) oh and I met Gail Simone, too, she is very very nice.

and as howy mentioned, I've done dial-a-shot with him and I have spoken to Rallura on the phone, and MissTrust.

[Fabian]

But I've had pie with the MacQ clan, then dinner with Jim MacQ and his daughter at Fabian's, so I met him, too (thanks again for the "college professor" discount, bro)
Anytime. Although I still shaved my sideburns again Professor Beatnik

[Brian Cronin]

Jean

I just like the idea of Jean counting as a CBR poster.

It's funny. :)

[The Joker]

My theory is that the whole of CBR is just 1 person and he/she is a schitzophrenic and just has arguments/shares opinions with his/herself.

Thats an interesting theory. No argument heard here. ;)

[Lone Ranger]

Like many of you, I've met koop (seen him 3 times now as during his annual trek across the border).

I have also met SimplyJD and MaryBrickthrower - but JD's gone and I haven't seen Mary on here in ages.

Recently I met up with ArchivalGrading - and we had a great time.

There are so many CBR folks I'd like to meet and I hope to get the opportunity.

[Karl J. Barnes]

Sorry to say: none.

[Spider69]

I only know Flawless P, he's the one that introduced this site to me...
other than that...no one else.

[Dreadstar]

30 to 35 depending of the definition of CBRer.

And I never met a one of them I didn't like. The reverse may or may not be true, I couldn't actually say.

[HomerJay]

PhoenixRising is the only CBR member I've met and/or have hung out with.

He's holding a foot. Man, I'm glad you never looked at my feet while drunk.

Wait actually I'm not because then you would had posted about how I use my penis as a crutch

[kmeyers]

if you have a bad computer(bad pixilation)...and its a small pic..seriously...squint at it, and tell me Im wrong.

-BrianWell, she's posted here seven times. Which is 7 more times than 5,668 registered CBR posters. :)
