RH, that would be awesome if you could come.
I don't know what's wrong with me, but I seem to have an endless list of fears centered around this little meet-up thing. What if they don't like me? What if the people who have already met before have a bunch of fun with each other and forget about me? What if I'm the little silent freak? What if I get lost? /lame
For some reason, I have trouble understanding that the people on this site are actual people. I don't know what the hell I'm thinking, maybe that you all are robots or something.

Wow, the inside of your head sounds a lot like the inside of MY head.

The good news is that we're all like spiders: intensely venomous and equipped with silk spinnerets in our behinds.
I mean, we're just as afraid of you as you are of us.

I'm pretty sure everyone has those exact same fears. There's not really anything weird about it at all.

I don't know what the hell I'm thinking, maybe that you all are robots or something. I was really nervous each time I went to meet a member. I was pretty quiet because of nerves with Cait and Clovey both times I met them and it still turned out pretty well. I hung around outside of DV's office for twenty minutes before I worked up the courage to go in last year. That meeting turned out to be really great. When I met Cagnazzo, I wouldn't let my mom leave me. That meeting was awesome. I guess what I'm trying to say here is that you have nothing to worry about. We like you on the Internet, and I'm pretty confident that we'll like you in person.

Sleepy, if you're with us (or at least me) you'd either be too drunk or too full of nachos to care about being socially awkward. That or we'd be too busy having a MASSIVE orgy to care.
Actually, if the whole thing with the money (and the happy) were to happen, I'd probably be the guy sitting in the corner playing Thief or DDO on his laptop while quietly drinking a beer and listening to heavy metal. And eating nachos. Because nachos rule.

Nachos are proven to cure a number of ills, the number of ills cured being directly proportional to the amount of nachos consumed.
Also, with sex, you'd probably too hot and bothered to care. Its the whole group mentality thing...

Speaking personally I just go all giggly when I'm drunk but it doesn't help with social awkwardness.

I would like to suggest Panama City (and, by extension, Panama City Beach), Florida. Not only are the beaches close by, but so is a pretty cool gay-friendly bar called Fiesta. It's got the drag shows, it's within walking distance from the local marina (for those who are into that sort of thing), there's a hotel right across the street, and did I mention that the beaches are close by?
....only catch is that you need to be 18 to get into Fiesta. Well, there are other things to do, as well, so it won't be a total loss. =) There's Pier Park, which is like a poor man's Downtown Disney, a local mall (that sells the precious Lambic beer I love so much), a few parks... plus, if any of us are willing to drive that far, I know someone who works at the Florida Caverns State Park, if everyone wants to go on a cave tour.
Of course, we could just as easily grab some booze and have room parties, as well. XD
Just my two cents. ^^

Is anyone interested in doing a Washington DC meetup in spring or something, when the weather won't suck and we can hang out on the mall and storm the museums? For those of us in the MD/VA/DC/PA area. Hell yeah! Hey, since we'll be there, can we go to the Chili Bowl and get a half smoke? Someone decide when so I can take the day off of work. @ Untilitsleeps, if it makes you feel any better, I don't think I've met anyone from here so I'd be more than happy to share your little forgotten corner silently watching the melee that is FSTDT.net. And if we get lost, I can get us home.

As for the whole awkwardness thing, don't worry, when everybody is socially awkward, there are no problems.

Uhm, I know approximately less than jack shit about where anything is in DC so someone who actually knows it will have to do all the planning. I just wanted to know if anyone was interested but I can't do any of the legwork. Any takers? Anyone? If not, I understand. We can scrap it.
