I've met some other FReepers. We have a Richmond group that gets together to strategerize.

I have - people from music related lists, mostly. Met up with a gang of them at a concert (Doc Watson), and after a few minutes of awkwardness we were chattering away like we'd known each other for a long time. Dad and my brother were kinda shocked, I think!

Also met with some internet friends at a guitar camp I went to a few years back. Aside from a few surprises in the way people looked vs. the way I'd imagined them, it went very smoothly. For example, one guy came across as this rather wise and witty older gent...wrote a lot of interesting stories about experiences and family...turned out to be a young dad with a bunch of little kids!

At least three of the couples here in the Hobbit Hole first met online... including Rose and I. Of course, we met pre-Internet... back when "online" meant a 1200 bps modem connection.
