Just so we can get to know each other better.
Demik
I still remember first time I met him. He was pretty quiet but got more and more chatty on subsequent meet-ups. A really nice guy once you get to know him. He's someone you'd want on your side if you ever get into a fight (online, on the street, etc, although I'm not so sure about the street part since he might bail first lol).
Sherryton
I think he felt a little akward the first time we met (or maybe it was just my imagination) but gotten better when we met up more and more. Despite his absent on the forum and not returning emails, pm's, etc, he's still a very nice guy in person. Soft-spoken, doesn't talk a lot (but can definitely be chatty at times). I think he and I have similar taste in fine dinning. He told me about Umami burger so I went and tried it out, it was great! I know some people in his GB's are probably mad at him but I'm sure he has his reason for being absent (he's also quite young).
Litster
A very nice person. He drove all the way from Irvine just to meet up with us when he was in Cali. A very intelligent person, soft-spoken (despite his online trolling lol).
Hashbaz
Heh, first time we met I was having a hard time finding him. He was waiting outside the hotel where he was staying (here on a business trip) and I was waiting inside around the hotel's lobby. A very fun guy to be around with and since he's working at one of the major film studios, he has a lot of cool stories to tell.
mkawa
Kawa wasn't whom I would expect when we first met. He chats a lot more in person than online. :) He's very friendly and knowledgeable on a lot of subject (cars, keyboards, nuclear diffusion, etc). I've also met with his younger brother and his friend. A nice bunch of young folks there.
BiNiaRiS
kawa and I drove all the way to meet up with him and his g/f somewhere far (forgot where). A very cool guy with lots of connections (with friends in China to get those hard-to-find keyboards/keycaps for him lol). A very fun guy to be around. He has a lot of stories to tell. If you buy something from him, it can take up to a year to ship.. just ask demik about that. ;D
ClickClack
I offered to pick up some of his keycaps in person since I believe he isn't very far from where I live but he politely declined so I repect his privacy and haven't asked again since (although I would like to meet him in person one day just to be able to shake the hands that carve/create the molds for those keycaps that we all come to love and collect).
There are quite a few more that I would like to meet (tsangan, WhiskerBox, jcrouse, mmmty and the entire mod/admin team just to name a few). Please post yours below.

I've met quite a few at the meetup. It was really fun, but I didn't get there early enough to get a good reading of everyone I met. The least I can say is they were all really nice!

Hmm, I've met a few members from the NYC GeekHack meet last year..
Met:

Dangwang

Yes. I wrote a little bit about the guys I met in Chicago here (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=40116.msg852138#msg852138).
And I met Mashby at MechanicalKeyboards.com. He was pretty outgoing and a lot of fun. Plus he talked A LOT, which surprised me. Most importantly? He knows good food :D
I'm meeting the Moose himself soon as well.
-
No and I probably never will!!

I met jdcarpe in person. He's just as nice and generous in person as he is here. He even came with a gift. Thanks again. :)
And as CPT mentioned, we have plans to meet up.
Being that I travel a lot, I was considering creating a thread to show where I'm going next and see if anyone is around there who'd like to meet up.

Speaking of traveling. I should be driving to SLC from Ontario this summer. Might turn into a few meet ups along the way!
-
I met cytosin from NYC -- turns out he works just down the street from my office. Very nice, for a rasta.

There's going to be a Pittsburgh meetup later this year. I am helping to organizing it.

Later when? I'll be back around here in June. And it's highly likely I'll be back later in the year sometime.

Firstly, its an M 122. :)) Secondly, I will likely not be attending as NYC is a LARGE haul for me.

I'm between Evansville, IN and ST Louis, MO in the middle of nowhere. :-[

We haven't come up with an exact month yet, but we'll get an interest thread going and see who all is interested in going and when would be the best time overall for everyone.
-
Thegunner100, Alaric, boost, dangwang, blighty, chaotickinesis, all from the NYC meetup, I believe there were one or two more but names are not my strong suit.
-
So far to US. ???
-

Wrong. I am an hour away.
I am in KC as well, go to Springfield all the time and Rolla on occasion, not so much anymore as my brother finished up college up there. :)
-
Sweet we should have a midwest meetup sometime then
-
definitely! Would be fun what do you do in KC if you mind me asking - no need to be specific either.
-
I'm actually a student at KU, but I'm here every couple weekends or so. I'll be done in less than a month though :d

-

It sure is. So we should go there. We should do a geekhack.org chartered trip from the USA to S. Korea. I would love to meet some of those KBDmania.net and OTD.kr guys. And I've wanted to see Seoul for since forever. Plus I loves me some kimchi and bulgogi.
-
Nope and I never will since I live in a country thats in the middle of nowhere.
-
i doubt ill ever meet any other geek hackers. tough there is one other richmonder here that i may have run into unknowningly due to it being a small city.
very few really active here from central virginia or even like daytrip distance away like nova/washington dc or norfolk/va beach. Doubt there is enough even for a DC meetup.

-
Reaper for a CC trade. Calavera to buy his 5870. Demik for trading/buying/selling. I also bought a SSK from someone in OC but forgot his name.
-
Met Tsangan and Elton, talked to them more than anyone else. They're cool dudes. As I mentioned, tsangan is exactly how I imagined him to be.
-
I've met quite a few, I attended the Chigaco meetup and I organized the Great Lakes meetup.
-
I met cgbuen when I sold him the Filco MJ2. Really cool guy. He had that twinkle in his eyes whenever he mentioned anything WYSE related.
-
Fellow Minnesotan GHers come to the Arby's I work at. I was also at the first MN GH meetup.
-
I know dangwang. One of my close friend's older brother. Got suckered into mechanical keyboard cause of him -___-
-
Meeting up with esoomenona shortly! :)
-
.
-
I have only met Ghostpixel, because I had bought a couple of keyboards from him.
There are a bunch of Geekhackers in Sweden, so I think we should have a meet-up, but I have yet to get my thumb out of my ass and make it happen. I am considering going to Mr Interface's party in the Netherlands this summer.
-
Cross posting this from another thread (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=42671.msg868791#msg868791) but I met Moose last night and he's an awesome dude. Really funny and we laughed about Project Scoops and his magical closet o' boards. Build that KMAC moosey!
-
I've met three GH'ers, but each time was kind of rushed.
JesuswasaZombie at a coffee shop to buy some key caps while I was visiting my cousin in Oakland. I had to get back to my cousin's apt complex while he still had the parking garage open. Or else find street parking and walk around the block. Sorry for running out on you, JWaZ.
Jackstar7 came to pick up a board from me at work, and I had to go back to work.
calavera sold a board to me, but he was on deadline, and I was parked in the red.
-

-
Also, I did meet missalaire before that. She is great. We had beer and sushi and sake. I think her boyfriend was trying to prove that she had something wrong by having ~7 keyboards, but he learned that was nothing when I started trying to name everything I have.
Thanks to everyone I've met so far for meeting up. Its been nice meeting you all.
You need to take a picture of your collection and show him it hahaha
