(1) What has happened to Albertosaurus and Allerleirauh? (2) Among all you lot, who has eyeballed (= seen in person) who?, rather than knowing them merely as names on the screen.

RE #2: At Siggraph 99 I met some people but I guess they don't hang-out around here anymore for some reason. Their handles were Willow and Grey I think =).

Oh, and I met Steve Cooper there too, while he was showing off Poser 4's new fangled features.

Anyone planning on going to Siggraph this year?

I have met Maz two times, he is a wonderful person and I can assure you that he really exists! Unfortunately, you can't be sure that I really exist, so this information might not be as valuable as it first looks! :-)

(1) I have no idea (2) I've met Swannie (love ya, buddy! :) and hopefully one day I'll meet Antoonio too since he's one of the very few RS artists who live in Finland like me :) I wish I could meet all the friends I've made here, though!

As far as I know, the only two (active) members I've met in person are Jonathan Allen, who sells some Bryce textures in the store, and one Anthony Appleyard.

Not met anyone except chromecafe. But we could get a "north of England" social group going methinks - Anthony, youre at UMIST arent you? I travel past there twice a week on average.

It would be great to make a Poser Community meeting somewhere in the world (at Vegas ;) so that we can meet each other once.

Well..I guess then.. we Europeans are wiser.. since we're sticking with London plans! :o)

Tread lightly gentle reader. A few years back I flew from London to Chicago to meet 40 folks that I had been chatting to over IRC. It was the best weekend of my life. I am now living in Kentucky married to Jan, .... one of the 40. One never knows where these things will lead :)) BTW we will be visiting UK mid August.

I'm not too sure about MartinC's definition of me as a wonderful person. I reckon I'm actually just about not too bad on a good day. Obviously I've met Martin too and he's also a good guy. He understands Macintoshes which I don't. And he really does exist. I've spoken with Art on the phone but never met him. I'd be pleased to toddle along to a 'meet people in person' day (or night), anywhere but Vegas! Sorry folks, I've just never been into neon lights, cowboy hats, gambling and deserts. Now a meeting in a London pub, I'd go for that. Especially one of the 'olde worlde' ones with sawdust on the floor (yes seriously) where Jack the Ripper used to go. I might even buy a round (depending on how many people turn up of course). Maz

Willow and Gray are over at the original PFO, where they have always been. Melanie

Yeah, I know. I was trying to be facetious.

There is a Houston Area Poser/Bryce User Group (HAPBUG) which, coincidentaly, met face-to-face for the first time just today. I couldn't make it so I'm waiting to hear who showed up & what happened.

Several of us from my forum on Compuserve meet ftf each year at Origins (a gaming convention). I have really enjoyed putting voices and facial expressions to the typed messages after meeting a person with whom I've exchanged comments over the years. I've met a few of the DAZ and CuriousLabs folks at the Game Developer's Conference, but nobody else from these forums. That could be remedied! :) I live in the SF Bay Area. Are there any other members around here? I hold artist tea parties occasionally (the next is in 3 weeks), so could be persuaded to host a friendly little gathering. Carolly

I've only met Jack D Kammerer in Daytona Beach, FL last year when he, Ed and Jack's wife came to visit family.... I haven't met anyone else from Renderosity in person though... I have met a number of people from AOL over the years and we've all become very close friends because of it... One of my AOL friends I met (he was a 19 year old guy at the time) is getting married this summer and I'm invited to the wedding...=) BTW, he's now 24.. Wow, time does fly.... sigh All the other people I know in person online are people I knew before the Internet came into my life.. =) ^Cindy

Vegas is a lot more than just neon and the strip. I saw Casino the other night and got teary eyed thinking about all the stories the old timers would share about the city (not realizing that the old timers telling the stories had colorful--if not criminal--pasts of their own). I got to hang out with the late Teddy Binion, and Floyd Lamb's little brother. Out there, the cowboy hats usually have genuine cowboys underneath them (make that former cowboys--the freerange beef that the casinos serve is usually shipped in from elsewhere.) If we went with Vegas, I'd suggest having the meeting at the Enigma Cafe in the Gateway District. The owner, Lenadams Dorris, is probably the closest thing the Southwest has to the Martha Stewart of desert living and landscaping (although he's a little more approachable--more catty than bitchy)

JKeller: I'm thinking about going to Siggraph this year since it's in L.A. (and I'm only a few hours drive from there) Hauksdottir: I'm also in the S.F. Bay Area and I think DCort is in the east bay somewhere. We'll have to get together for BBQ or something one of these days. :) Kate

EdW -----> Lives in the Bay Area too. Actually East Bay.

I haven't met anyone at all from here. Northern Sweden is quite far away from everything, and i seem to be the only poser user here. :o( I plan to visit Siggraph sometimes though. Whatever happened to Allie i hope she will return some day. I miss her. /Ohman

Cool EdW! Howdy neighbor (waves atcha from West Contra Costa County) Kate
