IrishEyes Posted April 2, 2006 Report Posted April 2, 2006 Last May, I met Tormod and Yvonne for the first time. They came over to the States, and spent a few days in Virginia. We first met them at the Fredericksburg Battlefield, took them to lunch at Olive Garden, then went shopping and finished off the day at a pub. I was introduced to a wonderful white beer, from somewhere near their neck of the woods. It was a wonderful time!! My kids STILL talk about them on a regular basis. I met C1ay last June. We were on our way to a week long Pensacola vacation, and stopped off in Atlanta to see a Braves game. We met C1ay and his wife at an awesome Cajun restaurant. After many beers, gumbo and fried gator tails, we had to get to the game. Really, that early dinner was the highlight of our entire vacation. C1ay is even more amazing in person than he is here at Hypo. I also introduced my best friend to Hypo. Her name is Kelly, and she doesn't post very often, but she lurks quite a bit. She's afraid to come here sometimes, because she has a lot of college homework to do, and she knows how addictive this place is. Of course, I met nemo years ago. He joined Hypo one night a few years back, when I was slaving away on my computer. That was before we even had a ModSquad, and there were only 4 people on staff. He'd heard me go on about this place for quite a while, and just joined one night. I was moderating some posts, and noticed a new member. I looked at the name and just smiled. I knew it was him right away. I almost banned him that first day, just for giggles. Now, it's a running joke between us... I'm hoping to meet some of the Ohio squad during my next trip to visit the in-laws, but not sure when that will be. Do we have any members out in Vegas? I'll be there at the end of the month, and would love to get together with anyone then. Quote
TheBigDog Posted April 2, 2006 Report Posted April 2, 2006 Consider the invitation open Irish. Tuttle Park is gorgeous for picnicking. Bill Quote
IrishEyes Posted April 2, 2006 Report Posted April 2, 2006 Consider the invitation open Irish. Tuttle Park is gorgeous for picnicking. BillI just got off the phone with my mother in law, and she's pushing for a visit this August. Maybe we can get together then. How far off the turnpike are you? I was also hoping that maybe we could get together with Infy and niviene as well. That would be pretty cool, if all of us could meet up for dinner or something. We'll have to figure out a central meeting point for the three of you, not too far from the turnpike, and see if we can do this. Also, besides my Vegas trip in April, and Ohio in late August, I'm taking nemo to Ireland in early August. We're trying to meet at least one other Hypo couple there as well. Any other Irish people out there in Hypo land that would be up for a pub crawl??? Quote
TheBigDog Posted May 22, 2006 Report Posted May 22, 2006 Infamous, I am on vacation next week. We should try an get together. Bill Quote
IDMclean Posted July 20, 2006 Report Posted July 20, 2006 I was wondering if anyone is in my neck of the woods. California, Chico. North State Valley, North of Sacramento. I might be making my way to San Francisco this summer, I would be intrigued to maybe meet some people. No photos though, I can't stand having my picture taken. Anyone ever gone to Burning Man? I'm going to probably going for the first time next year (2007). Wikipedia: Burning Man. I would expect to see Orby there. Quote
Queso Posted July 21, 2006 Report Posted July 21, 2006 See you there man, (!)thats when I plan to go for my first time, as well. Look for a crazy tall guy, most likely naked, and painted with strange patterns of rhythms then, check his wristif you see a yin yang on his left wrist stop and say hey! :hyper: Quote
Queso Posted July 21, 2006 Report Posted July 21, 2006 oh yeah by then I should have pretty long hair! Quote
IDMclean Posted July 21, 2006 Report Posted July 21, 2006 Im the crazy long haired Red head (male) who is avoiding the sun with a vengence, pastey white complextion and fair features. Don't know if I'll be naked or not, but I most likely will just be wandering around. Don't know, I'm going to go with my mom, so we will most likely be near to the bath-rooms and near to the center of the gig. I suppose I'm going to need a decent set of costumes for a desert city between now and then. Quote

Mercedes Benzene Posted July 21, 2006 Report Posted July 21, 2006 I've never met a fellow hypographer.......although I'd like to eventually. Having a convention somewhere would be cool.If people were serious about it, I wouldn't have any objections to start planning one... whatever. :lol: I have seen a couple hypographers who live in my area... even one who lives in my town!

pgrmdave Posted July 21, 2006 Report Posted July 21, 2006 I've met Tormod, Yvonne, and Alex. Maybe those hypographers who live near enough to each other should arrange mini-meets, we have enough members that we could probably do it. Quote
IDMclean Posted July 21, 2006 Report Posted July 21, 2006 You sure that's New Mexico? I was of the idea that it resided in Neveda, I think. Quote
TheBigDog Posted July 22, 2006 Report Posted July 22, 2006 I have been giving it some thought and I plan on going to one of the shuttle launches over the next year. I have never seen a spacelaunch, and the era of the shuttle is coming quickly to a close. Maybe that would be a good opportunity to get together. But it won't be until next year. Need to save my pennies. Bill Quote
Mercedes Benzene Posted July 22, 2006 Report Posted July 22, 2006 Maybe that would be a good opportunity to get together. You could count me in!...granted my parents would let me go to meet some people that I met on the internet! :eek2: Quote
Queso Posted July 22, 2006 Report Posted July 22, 2006 You sure that's New Mexico? I was of the idea that it resided in Neveda, I think. oi, I always get the two mixed up. B) Quote

Maybe those hypographers who live near enough to each other should arrange mini-meets, we have enough members that we could probably do it. Good idea. We could have local hypography chapters! B) Maybe we can fix some t-shirts etc for raffles. Quote
