Have You Ever Met Another Dromer?

I've met Funatic, Pl212, Raph, Agilarept, Archon Turtle, Iveyangelo, Sophistocat, aaaaaand probably others, in which case I'm SO sorry if I've forgotten you.

In 2010, Raph & I, being across the globe from one another & having never met, opted to say "Screw it!" & split a hotel room for New York Comic Con. I guess you take a risk with strangers ten years your senior from across the ocean with whom you've had no more than a handful of impersonal conversations, but what can I say? I like to live dangerously.

We pretty much spent the entirety of the con together making all the turtle stops, & we were recognized by pl212 & Iveyangelo, who also spent most of their time there with us. Was a really good time. Bumped into Archon & his wife & Agilarept as well. Met a bunch of TMNT artists/voice actors/etc & even ate pizza at Famous Rays, the actual pizzaria from Secret Of The Ooze. The voice of Baxter Stockman himself, Scott Williams, even invited us out for a beer! Unfortunately Raph & I had a train to catch

, but what an awesome thought just the same.

In 2013 I went back to NYCC & was once again going around with pl212 for the majority of it. I met Sophisticat at Eric Talbot's table. I had a suspicion he was a Technodrome member given his enthusiasm for the turtles & the wad of original art under his arm, so I introduced myself & it turned out I was right. Later, while waiting in line for a TMNT autograph session, I was recognized by Funatic, who I shared a space in line with & later accompanied to the Nick series panel.

Everyone I've met was really super cool & friendly, & I'd be happy to kick it with them any time in the future. Another member here, Shellsweet, lives in the same town as me & I've seen her out shopping (at a distance) but we've yet to meet. I imagine it's innevitable we will one day, though.

So how about y'all? I know some of you guys have even gotten married through the boards (how cool is that?).
