Memetically speaking. . .

[kiya]

alhandra: Wellesley. I wasn't there while she was in school there, but I was there while she was working there. So. Out of touch for some time; she wrote me an email about a year ago or something? So there we are.
angilong: Alt.poly. Met face-to-face at APC-in-Seattle, saw again at APC-in-Boston.
annwyd: Hangs out with the kooks and freaks I hang out with online. I forget who gave her the site, though.
apric: rasfc. Met at Minicon, discussed our respective works-in-progress at length.
ardaniel: teinedreugan and I got asked to give her a lift to a party or something at keshwyn's. So a vague knowing there; added to friendslist after an interesting discussion about head-contents on the way back from a different keshwyn party.
autumnesquirrel: Wellesley. I think she got to Wellesley after I dropped out, though, so this was Continuing Vague Felding Association.
baratron: alt.poly. Met for chat and takeout when I was in the UK with erispope.
brian1789: alt.poly. Met ftf at . . . don't remember if there was a meeting before APC9.
briar_pipe: Wellesley. My strongest memory being, of course, from the period where I was living on gwynyth's floor, and she came in on April 1 looking stunned and slightly flecked and proclaimed, "It's snowing out there!"
brooksmoses: rasfc. First memory: I was having a blazing row, or maybe this was before I joined the blazing row. He popped up in the thread, asked a remarkably evenhanded and sane question, got an evenhanded and sane answer, and bowed out again. I remember being both impressed and thinking "Neat name." Some time later, he wrote me a message, we chatted briefly; then we had a weekend where we kept posting identical commentary at identical times (the weekend of not seeing orange) and wound up falling in love. :}
cheshyre: alt.poly, sort of. Actually identified her in an elevator at Boskone, to the amusement of all and sundry.
davidgoldfarb: rasfc and rasseff; seen about at a couple of cons and got to a Bay Area rasseff meeting once.
djm4: alt.poly. Met, I believe, first with baratron, later with lizw and various assorted others when I got invited to join their extended family on a trip to the Brighton Pride. (My first Pride ever.)
elisem: alt.poly, also rasseff. First met probably at a Minicon, in which she beadified me.
elynne: alt.poly. Met at APC-in-Seattle.
erispope: Wellesley. First encountered when she followed my first roommate into our room and promptly glommed onto my bookcase. First real conversation while we were wandering off to get pizza at Schneider and got to discussing leather jackets.
fyrekat: Per Ankh/KOL. Met when we (brooksmoses and I) joined the KOL folks for a field trip to the Rosicrucian Egyptian. Found her LJ through tracking bits of recent temple meltdown.
green_knight: rasfc.
greensmileyface: Wellesley. (Nose noise!)
griffen: alt.callahans, afterwards various other place. Not ftf yet.
gwynyth: Wellesley. First started talking seriously on the first sleepover at Brandeis for the chess LARP whose name I've forgotten (and nothing is coincidence). Lived on her floor for a while after dropping out.
jehanna: almost certainly some LARP context, but I've entirely forgotten which.
jennaria: Wellesley. I remember clutter and banners. :}
jikharra: LARP: Shakespeare's Lost Play, day 2.
jinian: alt.poly, ftf at various APC.
jonsinger: So the first time I went to Minicon, I wandered up to one floor and wound up in a conversation about glazing techniques with a stray fan. And some time later I learned that of course this was Jon Singer . . .
kaifu: Wellesley.
kalmn: alt.poly. And . . . Minicon? And hanging out at silmarian and wiredferret's place once.
keeps: Night City. Thus, erispope's fault.
keshwyn: So when I decided my first roommate was unlivable, I moved in with keshwyn through the various auspices of Felding, and it worked out well enough that we tried it again the next year (that even better because there was a door to constrain my clutter).
kviri: LARP. A TMA run?
linenoise: alt.poly. Met for lunch last time I was in Cali.
lizw: alt.poly.
lstone: NE1. And various others, eventually.
marykaykare: rasseff? Met at various cons, spectacularly missed at various Bay Area rasseff meetings when I've been in the area back when it was more relevant.
meranthi: Wellesley.
micheinnz: alt.poly.
mittelschmertz: alt.poly. Met at . . . a dinner, maybe? A bunch of alt.polyites in the area? Semi-organised by wcg?
morningwind: KOL/Per Ankh. Found her commenting in fyrekat's journal, tracked back the userinfo, discovered we graduated from the same high school.
netbard: NE1. Met at a Falling Leaves he came up to Wellesley for.
nex0s: alt.poly. Met at an . . . Arisia alt.polyite brunch?
oneironaut: Night City. Thus, also erispope's fault.
pameladean: rasfc, some alt.poly, first met at a Minicon.
papersky: rasfc. Spent a weekend at her place in Swansea when erispope and I were in the UK.
patgreene: alt.poly.
pnh: rasfc, rasseff, various cons. He, unlike tnielsenhayden, frightens me. Better accessible through nielsenhayden.
qarylla: Wellesley. Bigsis!
raingnosis: KOL/Per Ankh. gwynyth asked me if I'd seen what she wrote about the temple situation, and I started reading, and I guess she started reading me, and so on. :}
redbird: alt.poly/rasseff. Met at . . . some con somewhere. Can't remember if it was Minicon or one of the Boston ones; I want to say an Arisia in Nancy's hotel-room button booth. . . .
rivka: alt.poly. And gracious, I can't remember where we wound up meeting face to face. Probably one of the times teinedreugan and I were down in Maryland? Or was it APC-in-Seattle?
rmjwell: alt.poly. Met at APC-in-Seattle, I believe, and have seen about at other points. ("RJ, you're a different colour than you were last I saw you." "Yes, now I'm Caucasian.")
roimata: Night City. And I hope she's doing all right.
rosefox: alt.poly/alt.callahans. Met ftf . . . somewhen. When she was in Boston, I think, for some reason or another.
rysmiel: on a couch in one of the bits of hallway at Minicon.
shaddragon: NE1/PernMUSH. Face to face at Dragon*Con when I was picking up the dragon I'd commissioned for suzimoses.
shadowchilde: KOL/Per Ankh. Got to discussing temple foo; friends-enabled so she could see what I was writing about it.
silmarian: NE1/PernMUSH. Got into a conversation about magic at one point and wound up in someone's weyr chatting OOC on the subject at some length.
sinboy: alt.poly.
solipsistnation: I'm sure this was The Morning After.
sstaten: The Game Place. Though back when I was going to Ridgeview the house with the antennae was always notable. :}
staralshain: Wellesley affiliated associatory stuff.
suzimoses: through brooksmoses, natch. First face to face meeting same as meeting for brooksmoses: in SFO, in September 2000.
teal7: alt.poly. Met at Seattle APC, neh?
teinedreugan: the Game Place. Wandered in one Magic night and the place was packed; two blond guys were playing on the floor. One of them Seemed Interesting, so I sat down next to him to see what was going. The Interesting fellow finished off the game, put the deck away, and said, "Now what deck shall I beat you with?" He's stayed interesting for the last nine and a half years or so. :}
tendyl: alt.poly. Did we meet face to face before I bought your rocking chair? At an APC or a Boston con?
thastygliax: met through meranthi, natch.
tiassa: met through the wacky gang, like annwyd.
tigerbright: alt.callahans, gathering at her apartment?
tnielsenhayden: rasfc, rasseff. Teresa Doesn't Frighten Me (TDFM) is an important motto. Better accessible through makinglight.
ursulav: mostly because oneironaut's a little obsessive, and she's quite funny.
vectorvillain: The Game Place. Invited him to a party before I knew his given name. :}
wcg: alt.poly. Somewhat alt.callahans, but later. Had lunch together in Maryland, and have run into each other a few times since then. (Because we can count on chocolate.)
wiredferret: through silmarian, mostly.
xiphias: could have met him through associations with Wellesley folks; actually met him through alt.poly and in an elevator at Boskone.
yehoshua: kviri, cheshyre, and xiphias all thought I should read him for more Red Sox obsession. :}
zaphkiel: through pavilionhall, sort of; we'd actually met before at a party, but my memory is very very fuzzy.
zorinth: met while staying with papersky. He looked after erispope and myself to be sure we didn't get lost or run into traffic.

Rivka couldn't have been first at APC-in-seattle, because I met you before then, and I met you either at Bill's, where I met Rivka, or at a subsequent dinner hosted by Rivka. Or. Er. Something.

Okee. Chronology isn't our strong point over here.

Yes, but the radio antenna is my Fathers fault, not mine.
