I haven't met anyone from AT (at least not that I knew of) In fact, I believe I've only ever met one person who I met online first (and that was a rather unexpected/weird meeting... I felt stalked or something). There are quite a few people here who it would be nice to sit and chat with though.

Oh, let's see...

Kelvrick - nice guy with a quick smile and easy laugh.
KEV1N - sharp enough to spot me out of a cafeteria full of college students, though we'd never met, and pick me out as an ATer.
JeremyJoe - laid back, nice guy.
ffmcobalt - funny, a talker, very energetic, quite nice.
eyecandy - very tolerant of ffmcobalt, smacks him down when needed, good-natured gal.
ViperGTS - one of the out and out neatest people there is. Very quiet, absolute SWEETHEART of a guy.
Orsorum (zakath15) - chatty, quirky, philisophical, likes to ask weird questions. Good listener with a lot to say.
Russ - cool, self-assured, pretty much everything he was on ATOT but less biting. Just as independent and crotchety though. :)
linuxboy - where do I start? Cheery. :)
Zenmervolt - one of my best friends. Very like he is online, an obvious softie, quick-witted, laughs easily, makes frequent mildly sarcastic responses.

I've met more but those are the ones that stand out.

Mikefromwa Cool as hell, many drinking nights, lots of fun
ViperGTS Really cool guy, quiet but funny as hell.


Thats it. One other guy, but I cant remember his (AT) name, but I knew him in person first.

Nope from this forum but I had met with other members in other computer clubs and SUV clubs. Most of them were nice. No weirdos or serial murderers or anything like that.

Edit: I think we do need to have a meeting down South. Anyone from Dallas/East Texas/ NW Louisiana ready for a meet? Dallas folks, let meet at the first weekend of March and we can go to the Dallas Auto Show :D

Annabelle Funny, warm, smart
Eakers Extremely shy and soft spoken; complete opposite to online persona; has a nice lap!
Eug Intelligent and great conversationalist
Klee58 Easily amused and down-to-earth
Marty Has a mysterious look to him, in a good way!
Star Loveable and fun
Windogg I'd probably hang out with him if he lived in Toronto! Just great fun, easygoing, funny, and not bad looking to boot ;)
Yayo My twin!
Yllus Patient yet short-tempered; loves food and music; very organized; quiet.
Zenmervolt He's so tall! He was quiet though not reclusive; approachable.

Edit: I think I'm missing a few :(

HotChic: Less shy than online, sweetheart but not afraid (nor incabable) of "laying the smack-down", lives up to her nickname here, highly intelligent.
Melly: Smart, quick-witted, fun, a very nice person.
Windogg: Has a really nice car, good guy, pleasant, named after a tobacco product. :p
Eakers: Far more shy than online, smart, easily amused by the non-metric guages in Windogg's X5, a very sweet girl.
Klee58: Very cool, put up with me, well grounded.
Yllus: Quiet.
MartyTheManiac: A really good guy. I don't agree with his politics much but I have to respect him.
Eug: Surprizingly nice for a Mac fan. ;) Just kidding, I've got nothing invested in the platform wars. Eug is cool. :)

None here, though I assume there are others in the Seattle area but I don't know who any of them are. Ah well, maybe someday I will meet one.

:eek: :D

HotChic - witty, sarcastic, very blunt. And mischievious. Like a squirrel.
Viper GTS - quiet, with a touch of conservatism and laziness.
Linuxboy - like a walking thesaurus combined with a financial analyst
FatAlbo - sarcastic and lecherous, in a good way. Loves DDR, like any good asian.
gopunk - quiet, thoughtful.
darien - likes Killians, also hates math. Rightfully so.

I've never met an ATOT'er in real life that I didn't like.

Cheers!

just Viper GTS and FFMCoblat so far, i wanted to go to the last to portland area meets but didn't make it.

was thinking about stalking RossMan on black friday since i knew when and where he would be but i lost interest in the idea quickly since 1) it was way to early for me to be wakeing up 2) it would have probably ended up being one of the most awkward meetings in AT history 3) i couldn't come up with a good reason for it other than wanting to be the first person to meet him (willingly or not).

i would like to meet HotChic & LED for some reason, just seams like people i'd get along with well.

I met my boyfriend HayZeus2000.
I've met The_Good_Guy
I've met FFMCobalt and Eyecandy - Hey, I left a message on your answering machine the other day, did you get it? :p ;)
I've met JC
I've met Mustangrrl
I've met X-Man

Ummmmmm

I haven't met anyone, and I likely never will... I don't usually go meet people from online :p
