Do you know any members in reality?

[Durandal7]

It seems like a lot of members now know at least one other member in real life. I was curious, just how many do?

[Rower_CPU]

Just one...but only because I coerced...I mean, convinced him to register...:D

[jefhatfield]

my wife and i used to go to the mac store where mischief worked in capitola, ca before i was a macrumors member

many macheads i know lurk here and at appleinsider.com and macosrumors.com just to get a peak just before a macworld show...but they are not as interested as us core users in every minute detail of apple inc and their products

[eyelikeart]

well I guess u could say I know that jackass Macrosoft...

I also know dreamlance quite well...

I have met dukestreet & BacktotheMac...

I am partnered up with Moxiemike in a couple business ventures...

uh...I have interesting conversations with cleo ;)

I will likely meet up with mischief one day too :D

[Durandal7]

I know one member. Little does he know I am coercing him into buying a Mac to eventually replace his PeeCee. OK, maybe he does know ;)

[vniow]

Nope. Don't know anybody. Maybe we should have some kind of annual Macrumors meet or something. :)

You mean Geekfest...

[teabgs]

I know a couple....found out I knew Jello which is random, and I have a few friends who registered cause of me....but dont post much...then there's my drunkass roomie who has posted sometimes..:rolleyes:

Met Duke once too...prolly meet more sometime...Hmmmm.......

I guess Geektoberfest wont be happening since Alpha's gone now....:(

[iGav]

Afraid not.......:(

I've spoken over email to quite a few, which is cool...... but there are quite a few whom I'd like to hook up with, when I'm next in there neck of the woods......

There's some Groovey Dudes knocking around on here!! :p :p :p

Really?

Mischeif --- I'm in Oakland. Care to give a fellow MR membera dicsount? I'm looking to upgrade to an Ti/800...

[Mr. Anderson]

I've met a few: Eyelikeart, B2tm, MrsB2tm, teabgs, and of course DutchessStreet

I've been in the same room with Jelloshotsrule, whfsDude and Blakespot but failed to meet them.

And almost had a beer (Bass Ale) with Cleo in St. Pete, but schedule and the wife being sick postponed that - although I did talk to her on the phone a couple times.

I figure I'll meet up with a few more in the coming year due to projects I'm involved in with other members.

Eye is actually coming to visit sometime - I think.

D

[King Cobra]

I haven't yet, almost did once.

In a year, though, I'll have to find people in Sweden (Maine). :snicker: :snicker:

[dreamlance]

I know Eye and Macrosoft...who makes really weird noises when he's drunk :D :p

May be meeting some more MR people soon.

[King Cobra]

>I know Eye and Macrosoft...who makes really weird noises when he's drunk :D :p

Man, not knowing him personally, I think that's worse than when he's wearing drag! :eek: :D :p

The keyword is "used" to work at....but know who'll give you a good deal?

Backtothemac. Check out GeneralCybernetics (a MR sponsor)...that's him, he'll hook you up...;)


Gave me a great deal on a tower and a great deal for an iBook for my gf....

Dude, I said "hi" to you when Aaron said hi to you but I didnt know it was you lol

[kiwi_the_iwik]

No - I don't know any MR members as such, although I do recommend the site to any prospective or current Mac user that I know, because of all the great information available, and the nice chats we all have together.

There are a few people at my work who surf the pages on the site every once in a while, but I have no idea as to whether or not they have actually registered...

Maybe I should find out...

[macsurfer]

No, and I would never want to.

[kishba]

i talk to a few of you periodically and i manage to bug cleo more than anyone else

she's special, of course ;) :D

Ha, so I guess I could put you in the 'I've met you list now' and is Aaron a member? I didn't think he was?

he wasnt but he signed up 2 daYS AGo sao he could vote for the switch contest...

[Mr. Anderson]

Ha, well then I guess that ups my having met members again. Strange, actually. I would think that there would be many more people who know each other. There might be many more registered that don't post, actually, which would make sense.

D

[Taft]

Only one. Draft is my bro.

But I think there are a variety of people here that I would get along well with if I met them in "real life".

Awwww, I really appreciate that.
j/kng. :D

[Macmaniac]

The only person I know in reality is Artman617, I convinced him to join MR, cause he is the only other 'real' mac fan in my high school. I hope to meet some of the other members some day when I can drive!!(Only 17 more days till I get my permit)

You may as well. It's not like you have a huge software library. And I would give you a mac version of Alpha Cnetauri.

You have to have a different version to run it on a mac?

[SilvorX]

nah i dont know anyone in real life, MT Air lives slightly less than an hr away from me and i couldve bought his powermac if the G5 came out at MWNY lol...
he was in the MR IRC Chat room back at MWNY n i convinced him to sign up but he only posted a few times....

[mcrain]

I don't know anyone, but if you're planning on being near Springfield, IL, I'd be happy to meet up and grab a bite to eat, or if you're old enough, have a drink.

Hopefully soon I'll be houston, and maybe I can meet up with the texas and n'awlins members.

[evildead]

wasnt there a macrumors party for martigraw? down in the big easy? It was a while ago... and it seemed like at least a few people went to it... I did not... but it seemed like some people did. Did it ever happen? How did it go? And where are the encriminating photos!?

-evildead

[job]

Nope.

I've never met anyone from MR.

Not many people from the Woodlands seem to post here... :(

Yea,
Me, Duke, Eye, Dutchess, MrsB2TM and MiniB2TM all met up down there. We put up a lot of pictures. Do a search for geekfest and you will find them.

mcrain, when you move to houston let me know. We will have to meet up in Louisiana at some point, unless you want to come to a Bama football game.

[jelloshotsrule]

went to the apple store with teabgs tonight.

that's all though.

[eyelikeart]

now that's not a bad idea... :D

however...I think for any Geek Fest to be successful...u guys gotta decide u wanna go somewhere...

when we put on Geek Fest New Orleans...we promoted & pushed it for a couple months...I even got a group rate discount at a decent hotel downtown...all of those who said "yeah I wanna come" did not...

I have no problem meeting anyone anywhere as long as I can...but as for putting together another event...if u want to...u do it ;)

didn't you guys have a successful geekfest new orleans?

the pictures seem to indicate you guys and gals had a great time over there

if san francisco, who came in second place as for a geekfest location, won out, i would have definitely gone

i wonder where the next geekfest will happen?

if we can get it together, my wife and i will hopefully meet up with mischief, and i presume his wife, and make a crop circle in santa cruz in northern california, and if we get a couple of more people, that can be the second geekfest for macrumors

santa cruz is just over the hill from san jose, which is a few miles from cupertino where apple inc is:D

[Mr. Anderson]

Well, another gathering of MR people might be happening in November in DC. We'll see what happens with that....
