I have thoroughly enjoyed meeting every Mudcatter whom I've met in the "real world" (but that "real world" is a folk music world, so we've already got interests in common). And there are a lot I'd still like to meet. Some have made more of an impression and become more a part of my life than others, some I'd like to meet in person more often rather than communicating almost solely online (on this forum and Facebook, as well as in email, etc.). A substantial number of these I'd not have connected with except via Mudcat.

Truly wish a lot of the people I've met lived closer so we could get together more often for good music, good food, good drink and, maybe most importantly, good conversation.
