DTF Meet Ups. Your perception from their posting.

[Zydar]

You're right

[ariich]

Awesome.

[hefdaddy42]

Oh my God 

[King Postwhore]

 

YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!

Omfg, I am laughing so hard I almost choked on my omelette. Ian needs to see this NOW.

Zydar, you are a god

[Silver Tears]

 

[lonestar]

So brilliant it even brought Tahlia out of hiding

[jammindude]

Ian has been one of my favorite DTFers to hang with; we've had many adventures. Hopefully we will be in the same city again soon.

OH GOD THAT REMINDS ME!

This is what happened in my apartment the first time Sigz came to Denver three years ago:

OMG...  the "...and *smile*" part at 3:44 had me 

[bout to crash]

I know! We were like wuuut 

Man that was a good day. Ian, come back to Denver!!

Also, hey Tahlia! 

[Elite]

I've only met Onno and mizzl. And Nihil-Morari who I had some classes with at university. Onno lives in the same building (a student flat that is) I live in and he's a cool dude.

It looks like I will meet Scorpion in July at the NOTP festival

[Scorpion]

Yes! So psyched for that.

Also, that video is the best thing ever. Jackie, Sigz... You're awesome.

[jammindude]

It's weird.  Every time I see a picture of Jackie, I can't get over how much she looks like my niece...

[XJDenton]

I'm so jealous Rich, you've chilled with so many folks I'd love to meet! Including you, if that counts 

Certainly does count! You're right up there on my list of DTFers I haven't met but really want to. Others that come to mind are kingshmegland, hef, and bosky.

Just realised that XJ is a major omission from those photos, so here's one of him, Sigz and I getting dinner in a London pub in 2011:

The Bree Louise! 'Twas a good night.

Weird, I can see a resemblance, though to me she looks more like my teenage cousin.

I have to dig some more meetup pics up.

[El Barto]

Just a random observation for my own curiosity, but I thought people who wore glasses took them off when they slept? Drunk and passed out?

[JayOctavarium]

SHOPPED

[bout to crash]

 

Barto, this is Ian we're talking about here. I don't remember exactly which night/morning that was, but there was most certainly drinking involved.

Edit: But yes, we bespectacled folk do normally remove them before bed... though I have fallen asleep with mine on before when really tired without the aid of alcohol.

[Prog Snob]

Hey Jackie, this one's for you.

Super old thread but DTVT, Nick, Hef, Jingle.boy, and  2Timer are meeting up at RoSfest and we are having lunch with Coz.


That is a big FUCK YEAH!

[Hyperplex]

Tomorrow marks 11 years from the 4/1 Twins meetup. It was an amazing experience, and I miss everyone. Haven't been to a meetup since.

[Train of Naught]

Haven't really met a lot of DTFers (home and Elite (Elite only very briefly)), but they didn't seem like they put on a fake identity on the internet or anything, genuine dudes. I also met Scar at the Opeth gig last year but don't really remember much from that

Hope to see some new faces in September at the Ayreon show. I'm not actually going to the show but I'm aware that quite a few DTFers are, and it's not that far away from my home so I want to join you guys before/after the show, most likely after but maybe before as well if find something useful to do in the meantime when you are enjoying the concert.

[King Postwhore]

Thats great TON.

In a month I'm meeting Hef for the first time.  I can't wait. We are all going to a progressive rock festival.   Also going who I've met is Jingle boy, DTVT & Nick.  We are going to have a blast.

We are also meeting up with Sir GuitarCozmo, who I've met and 2Timer who I've never met for pizza and beers and 2 timer is going just to the Friday night show only.

[home]

I've only met Train so far but he seemed like a genuine dude as well. Definitely leaves the same impression online as in real life!

I think I might go as well, it could be fun to meet some more DTFers! I might even go the concert if I can get second-hand tickets, but with the amount of ticket requests that there are already on Ticketswap that doesn't seem to likely

[JayOctavarium]

Did I post in here about meeting Deb?

Because she isn't as awesome as she is online.

She's 10x as awesome!

So... he's annoying irl as well

I'm giggity.  Nice to cross one more off the DTF-meetup bucket list.  Oh, and seeing the Shmeglands too I guess.

This I can vouch for.

Much fun will be had.

[lonestar]

It will be an honor to be flipped off by all four of you.

[cramx3]

I've met a handful from DTF in person.  We had a good turn out for the Radio City DT show last year in NYC.  I don't think anyone I've met's offline personality was any different than I thought compared to their online, either that or I didn't have enough time to find out there are different online/offline personalities 

I've met.... Prog Snob, Sir Guitar Cozmo, Axeman, El Barto, Bout to Crash, Nick, Jingle, Yeshaberto, Crimsonsunrise, Millahh and Chino.

It's just too bad you had that damned training thing, otherwise we coulda spent some more time hanging out.

And agree... everyone I've met has been pretty much the same online personality.  The only person I think is totally different is Jamesman - or so he claims.  He's mellowed out since a few years ago though.

[cramx3]

Well the training was a blessing and a curse, but yea it's a shame I didn't have more time to hang out.  I'm sure another time will come.
