Meeting real, live ah players

[CAP1]

i've met pipz, and golfer in real life. had lunch a couple times with pipz here at the shop. he's a cool guy, that shares my demented sense of humor. golfer i only met once so far, and unfortunatly, it wasn't for long, as he was on the way to the dragstrip in his mustang. also a definite cool guy.

 talked to jaegr1, shifty, and dicho on the phone. like em all. great guys. i worry a lil about dicho though......his sense of humor is so demented, it makes mine look normal.

Well I had the pleasure of meeting Molsman aka Crazy8s and DKFF, I want to make it to the next meeting in Ohio if I can. Other than that... nope no one that i know of..

I'm stunned how the Americans don't meet each other more. After all, aren't the vast majority of current players Americans? I guess there must be one hundred of them to every Finnish AH'er. And since the density of the population is about double over there, about 200 American AH'ers live in the same size of a spot as one Finn.

Your not taking into account the physical size of the USA Biz - before I moved here, I didn't either. Whilst there are loads of american players, geographically, theres lots of travel distance/time.

Actually I am. USA is only 29 times larger than Finland. If the density of active paying AH'ers were the same over there than here, you'd only have space for about 500 American players. Wait! Isn't that the amount on American Prime Time?

I've met vonMessa and Drano and Rino.  Mosca doesn't fly here anymore, but I've met him, too, and Nuttz.  Always a lot of fun.

bizman you ever seen the size of america?  it's a big country.  finland is about the size of the county i live in (ok maybe a little bigger )  .

Nobaddy (NB) hails from Beaumont. He was instrumental in organising a few of the Grapevine AH Cons, designed Trinty and goes back a LONG way with Hitech to the DOS days of Air Warrior. Haven't seen him lately...maybe WoW snatched him up  

so there is hope?

going to end up going to the 2012 con so then I might be able to find a few

From Memphis, Tennessee to Bristol, Tennessee is about an 8-hour drive. In fact, it is closer to drive to Canada from Bristol then it is from Bristol to Memphis.

Our West, it seems to go on even longer. The Tonopah Highway going north out of Vegas...ug! Salt Lake to Denver is just over 8-hours. Salt Lake to Phoenix, 10-hours. I know, I know...something about airplanes.

LOL was so long ago I almost forgot I met SF3 but that was while we were playing Air Warrior and he was on vacation in Iowa.

Who takes a vacation in Iowa?

Nope, never been there. But I can read both maps and wikipedia. If Finland were an US state, it would rank #5 by area. Alaska is 5 times as large as Finland, Texas only twice, California 1.25 x , Montana 1.12 x, New Mexico and the rest are smaller.

@mthrockmor From where I live, it takes 6 hours to drive to our Annual Spring Meeting place, Virrat. 7 hours to Vaasa autumn con. Hey, Finland is three times as large as Tennessee!

Put it into perspective though.  If I wanted to drive and meet Silat, it would be 3200 miles (around 5150 km).  That's why we fly across the country instead of drive.
