Who else have you met, Ross? And if I take a day trip down from Seattle sometime, would you and Susan hang out with me? 🙂
 
Does Nik's g/f still work at OSF?

BigSmooth - You're one of the few Portlanders who I don't know their real name, what is it?

HotChic - When are you moving to Seattle?
 
Speaking of AT members in real life... is there a Bill from Westland, MI here anywhere? He's the one who first told me about this site in college... just wondering if he still checks it out.
 
I ran into three ATOT members in real life. Unfortunately, I do not know their AT screenname. How do I know that they are ATOT members? They have a personal website where they listed the sites they often visit.

Yeah, it was OSF that I saw her at.
My real name is Andy... like it says in my profile. 😉

 
I've eaten at that OSF although it was a while ago (2-3 years).

LOL I never thought to check your profile, always assumed everyone lied about their info.

Nice to meet you Andy - I'm Ross 🙂

Sure, invite him but not me.

I feel bad - there are a few ATers who go to the U of M but I've never gotten around to meeting up with them - the one that comes to mind most is EvilYoda.

It seems next to impossible to run into another ATOT member out in the real world, but it happened to me today. 😎

Was just driving along like usual and I noticed the dude in grey Honda waving at me and I glaced over. I'm quite certain he was FFMCobalt. If you know the area, I was going west on NW Evergreen pkwy between NW 185th and Cornelius Pass Rd. in Hillsboro.

I've never met any AT members in real life, but I have met members of other internet groups "IRL"
At gaming LAN's, it's common for people to call each other by the screen names until they get to know each other better. With forum members, people usually just start off with real names although there is always the occassional bobble and forgotten real name.

IIRC, Cobalt (ffm is his old clan tag, the name is Cobalt) drives a Ford Ranger with a bumper sticker that says "AFFIRMATIVE ACTION IS LEGAL RACISM" (or something to that effect)... one of the few things that he and I agree on.
And yeah, I'm one of the locals, so if anyone wants to do another meet, I'll try and make it this time. Someone send me Ross' address though so I can kidnap him and force him to attend 😉 😀

Well, I used to drive a 1974 F100 Custom. Somethin about a 360 small block in the rain that makes it all worth it. 😀 Anyway, now I drive a 1985 S-10 Blazer. The sign says "Affirmative Action is Legal Discrimination, Period!" and I've got some middle fingers (not surprisingly all from blacks) and some thumbs up (not surprisingly all from whites).
 
Not that I know of. Unfortunately, I had to miss the Chicago ATOT meet for a wedding. Maybe next time. The only ATOT members that I've been in contact with outside of AT used to live in my area, and just want to reminisce about it.

We'll drag you out to a meet one of these days. 😉

I'm pretty sure I saw Nik's girlfriend Chelsea the other day, I met her at the last PDX ATOT meet. She was working as a hostess at a local restaurant - I think it was her, although I didn't say anything because I wasn't certain.

If you were at the Spaghetti Factory across the street from the Evergreen Theater, then it was her. 🙂
 
Let's put it this way, the day Jerboy attends a Portland ATOT meet is the day Ross and MrsHoneybee will show up.

Make it happen and I'll show up, 'till then 😛

WTF? I think if I grabbed his ass I would know about it.

My fingers are all intact, no leprosy. Couldn't have been me.

I thought that you were reading over my shoulder. That's why I typed it. 😀 😛

Yep that was it, forgot the location name ... evergreen parkway? Maybe that's the theatre name.

It was a hot day, had a delicious pot pouri (4 flavors of spaghetti) with garlic cheese bread and washed it down with some ICED TEA 🙂

That may be sooner than you think. Besides. If you're going to be a jackass, then quit coming into the PDX Meet threads and suggesting the restaurant that everybody eventually agrees on! It's happened twice and you didn't show up either time, you dolt. 😛

Like I could read a computer monitor from more than 24 inches away.
