Cheryl and I have been talking about meeting up for a while now, but it has been too cold. Today I was going to be in the area of where she worked so we decided to meet after she finished work.

We had a coffee and talked for about 45 minutes. She's way cool! And very nice. She brought an album of her pictures. Awesome pictures. Very talented. One day soon she's going to take some pictures of Chynna ... and maybe Abby if she will come out of hiding.

It's great to finally put a face to a name.

That is so cool that you got to meet her in person.
And her pictures are awesome!

That must have been fun! I've only met up with one other (non-family/non-colleague or student/non- old friend) TCS member, fwan, but I also had an opportunity to meet her mom, and to get to know her kitties, Teufel and Kaylee.

Wow, that's really cool! Glad you had fun.


I've never met anyone here in person, the few people that I talk with through PM's live nowhere close to me. I'm just waiting for the day when I come in here and there's a "KS TCS meetup" thread. There seems to be a lot of meetup threads lately.

That's great! I love TCS meet-ups!
Cheryl's photos that I've seen so far have been awesome, so I'm sure her album was great.
I've meet lots of TCSers, and even got to meet Kiwideus when I was in New Zealand.

Very cool! I'm getting so excited about our meetup on the 31st -- and now there are lots of other meetups being planned, too. We have this very close little community here, but it actually stretches all the way around the world! Amazing!

You could always start one yourself.
They don't always work out but it can't hurt to try.

I've only met one other person from the "internet" and that was about 5 years ago. I flew down to Detroit to meet him. My brother was absolutely freaked out!


Gil, told me to tell my brother that if anyone tried to mess with me, that he would shoot them with one of his 6 guns!
I told him "NOOOOO! I can't tell him that!!!"


I did take some precautions before going though. I left all of my travel itinerary with my brother, Gil's full name, address and phone number which was also where I was staying, which freaked my brother out even more!
Gil and I had met on a gaming site, so I also gave the information along with my brother's information, to a friend of mine who was also the game's producer, with instructions that if he didn't hear from me by a certain date to call my brother and the police!

I wasn't worried going to meet Gil though. He looked like a "Hell's Angel", but he was so sweet! We had known each other online for almost 2 years and had lots of late night talks on the net and on the phone. But I would have also been stupid to not have taken the precautions I did.
