I got to meet not one, not two but three new buddies this weekend! Three more people that can vouch that I am real. heehee I know I’m an odd bird in that I actually like using social sites to meet people in person.
I met up with a local twitter buddy on Friday. Carlos and I met up at CPK downtown and had a very nice lunch talking and getting to know each other. To my surprise, he was very talkative which is always nice. Score 1
Sunday, I met up with Rich for lunch. He is in the Bay area now so we decided to meet up. I really liked how frank and genuine he seemed. I never realized he was native to the Bay area. He also gave me several compliments about my own blog. I tried very hard to take them in stride. I just suck at taking compliments. lol Score 2
Sunday night, I met up with a long time fellow blogger Glennalicious. [1]soon to be "former blogger" as he is ending his blog. *sigh* We met up at Daddies aka 440 Castro. I was immediately struck how much sexier in person he was. Grrr! (He already has a husband so I behaved. lol) Anyway, it was great finally getting to meet him. At one point this drunk guy tried to start some trouble. He went so far as to kick the pinball machine next to us. I knew 2 of the bartenders and promptly had him ejected before drama erupted.
It was late and we were both a little tired so we didn’t stay out long. Instead, we got together for breakfast this morning. We got to talk a lot more. He is very endearing and sweet. He is a total geek too, which I loved. lol Anyway, he is here for a conference so we probably won’t get to hang out again but it was fun finally meeting him. Score 3
All in all, it was a good weekend. Three new guys, three new positive experiences. Oh, I can also add them to the list of hundreds I’ve met thru blogging and social networking. See, they really do work!

I met Glennalicious at a blogger get-together in NYC last April. He's a total hottie and a sweetheart too! No wonder he's married – the bastard! LOL
Now I have to get MY ass in gear to meet you in person, just to get my name mentioned in your blog! hahahahahaha
Why does nobody ever want to meet me from the bloggerverse?? My guess is that I don't have 8×5….
I can tell you all that Moby is very hot in person.Really. It was cold outside and he was super hot when we embraced. Like an electric blanket. And he's all buff n hard in real life, too.
…and he talks nonstop. And he's real sweet.
cb, no one in blogland ever wants to meet me either, probably for the same reason.
moby, if you had been at my party you would have met Rich a month ago!
rich, yes, Ron talks nonstop, which works for me because I'm usually quiet. oh, let me know the next time you are up here, 'kay?
I've met Moby, Glenn, and Rob- in fact, they have all been to my house in Tucson. It is possible for bloggers to meet in person! And Glenn is very handy, he fixed my door locks for me.
@homer ~ I wanted him to fix something for me but he has a husband so I behaved.
