meeting fencing.net people in RL for the first time

Hi all,
I just met Shadow Fencer in RL yesterday. We'd met before at tournaments, but didn't know each other's fencing.net nicks and didn't have the person connected with the nick before then. I'd mentioned my real name in the thread "To be secret or not to be" here a couple of days ago and Shadow recognized my name from a tournament we'd both been in Friday night. When I attended a divisional meeting yesterday she came up and introduced herself.

Just wanted to pass along to story and say that I thought it was sort of cool to actually meet someone I only knew from here (there're a couple other fencing.net people I know, but I knew them in RL first).

I would love to run into some of you guys (unless you're beating the hell outta me ont he piste ).

Let's face it, I've described myself, my clothing and my equipment bag so many times, Helen Keller couldn't miss me!

I'll be in the Div III sabre & foil at Summer Nats, if all goes well.

If you're in my pool or DE bracket, don't intro yourself until AFTER the bout!

Ditto, I would love to meet some of you too.
God, you make me laugh sometimes. At other times you know just how to answer my questions. You're great! (Now don't go getting a swelled head over it.)

Just in case you ever see a mask with MOM and hearts stitched on it, introduce yourself (to me, not the mask of course).

Shadow Fencer
Hi Brad aka "oiuyt"!
I must admit, meeting you was pretty cool as well! Now I know how to pronounce your alias. So, now I will come out of the shadows and tell everyone that I'm Pam Guntrum. And yes, the 3 legged dog across the street, Shadow, is the name I adopted for my fencing.net alias. If anyone else on this board is fencing next weekend in the Senior Sectionals in Rhode Island, say howdy... but wait after the DE! I somehow gotta stop choking in the DE! My past three DEs in the last two weeks I choked big time!!!!! Also, if anyone is fencing the Veterens tournament next month in Fairfield, CT, I'll be there too! Can there ever be enough tournaments?

I live to fence and fence to live!!

I met the esteemed Dave Neevel at the last Remenyik here in Chicago. He's much shorter in real life (just kidding, he's actually the same height

It is kind of cool to see people you know only as a name in person for the first time.

I think the thing to do is have an annual fencing net tournament.

A fencing.net tournament would be pretty cool, except that I have a sneaking suspicion that most of you guys would smear me. And anyway, I'm too far away from anywhere to make it to any decent tournaments (We have a fencing population of about 5).
