Which JWFAN members have you met in real life?

[Thor 9,337]

I did a similar thread on this over on FSM, but I don't think one has been done on JWFAN.

 

I'm curious if anyone has met any of us IRL. And as I said on FSM: "How was it? What was the setting? How did it differ from the personality you had encountered online, or did it?"

1. Me.

I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

Don’t be coy, JS. We’ve met in real life. What, 2-3 times?

Only twice, I believe, but I'm looking forward to our next meeting - third time's the charm! I've also met @Mr. Blue, and @Nils, the great clarinettist, and I've video conferred with a few others, most notably @GerateWohl.

[Koray Savas 2,259]

@Joe Brausam was there when we met, I believe. 

[GerateWohl 6,433]

I met @Thor and @Biodome in Berlin after the Thursday concert. It was good that Thor had held a Zoom session some weeks before. So, I recognized him. 

Otherwise, according to most people's avatar at that time, I just would have watched out for people who look like John Williams to find forum members.

Ha ha, well, thanks, JS. I can agree on the third word of that description, not so sure about the second. 

 

[Naïve Old Fart 12,760]

One.

@John Crichton @Saxbabe

 

When John and I went to the John Williams rehearsal with the Ft Worth Symphony back in 2010, I believe, there were some other JWFAN’ers there that we were unaware of.

I can conceive that the trip is worthwhile for @Jay, but for @Nick Parker, I doubt it!

The real question is: which JWfaners would you like to meet..?

Have any of these encounters ever led to intimate relationships? Has no couple ever formed on the forum since it has existed? I mean, apart from Drax and Justin.

I meet up with Hitch once a year. And have been a house guest of Ren many times now. So yes.

You, Hornist, Pub.

 

Darth Furter and I have met up either in our own countries or foreign lands. Attending concerts more often than not.

 

I talked with Dani on Facebook Messenger for years.
