I would say over 40. I know I can't list them all, but 18 at the H&F GTG this December. A lot from the Boston board here is some of them but probably missing some.(melmel48, lori19, rocknvoll, rikki, scm1001, awkward, vtdiamond, liveintheville, drloretta, donthasslethehoff, cgpm, les, mcc, lauren170, lovetrains, noodleoo, elfina7, caligirl22, lizlemon19, preppy, rosebud).
Crap, you were one of the people I forgot on my list. I knew there were more OOTers that had come to Boston!
And, liveintheville, you know me too well, my list is indeed in a spreadsheet
I knew it!
I need a copy of that! I have met a whole bunch, but not frequently enough to remember everyone's names. Sorry if I forget! I'm terrible with names in general and it is so much harder trying to remember screen names and real names!!
I put 15-20. Almost all are MMMs, except V (I won't tag, because I know she hates tags and raangoli, who I only recently learned I had met before we knew each other here
Haha! I was wondering if I could count that I've met you - but that seems like cheating, so I stuck to zero.
I often wonder if any of the NJ MMers would be up for a GTG, but I am too chicken to set something up!
I met a few from the old k.not board - I'm on their Facebook, send them Christmas cards sometimes, and even had some at my wedding. I think only one made the jump over to GBCN.
I think there were one or two instances where someone from my old home board saw me in public and recognized me.
None. There aren't many in my area and I'm not sure how I'd explain to H that I've been chatting with this message board for over 5 years and I'm going to go hang out with them in person.
I've probably met about 20-30, but I haven't bothered to count. I am part of the Boston board so most of the posters I've met have been from that community. They are a great group of ladies.
Did you have a different screen name before, thebulldog?
I was sstrug and MrsSstrug on the old Nest. I have been on the boards since '04
chia started a cookie exchange GTG a few years ago and I have hosted it for the past five years (i stole it when she was pregnant) We had 20ish people the first few years....this year we had 70 rsvps. These was oodles of booze and a photobooth that everyone collectively sponsored. It was awesome. I did an ice cream gtg this summer too that had about 30 people. Booze AND ice cream.
I have met a bunch...including ESF when we randomly discovered we lived in the same apartment building.

Ah, yes, I do remember your old screen name. Â And how awsome that the cookie GTG is still happening. Â I do vaguely remember that from way back when, had no idea it was an annual thing. Â Kudos for being such a good organizer/host!
And how funny to find out by accident that you live in the same building  But I'm confused, tacos is in D.C. and ESF is in the Bay Area--where is this cookie GTG?
It's in the DC area. ESF lived there before CA. She and I passed like ships in the night.
None. There aren't many in my area and I'm not sure how I'd explain to H that I've been chatting with this message board for over 5 years and I'm going to go hang out with them in person.
Not 5 years yet, but I finally told H about my presence here about a year ago and then recently asked him what he would think if I went to a GTG. He said I overthink these things way more than he would (meaning that I should just go, no big deal).
So, maybe in the next year or so I'll up my # from 0.
Um, at least 50. 30 ish Portland ladies, 15 ish Seattle ladies, one from Alaska, one from Nevada.
Clearly I like to gtg
But do you share your wine?
YES
I DO SHARE MY SUPER SPECIAL WINE WITH PEOPLE I LIKE
I'm friends with many locals who post/lurk here, and I host often, and omfg these girls always tease me and bring me reisling lol. Who knew that one stupid post about cheap wine would follow me forever??

You are a good sport and for that you are one of my favorites.
