So in light of The Haunted gig, where between every band me and the missus were chatting to some random goit off here, I thought I'd see who on here has met who from here in The Real World. And no, I don't mean the awful precursor to Big Brother (and reality TV in general) that everyone seems to have forgotten about.
I figure there are two categories - people you already knew that signed up here, and people you've spoken to on here that you've met. Off the top of my head, here's my lists:
People I already knew
• RastaMcRasta (a two-time bandmate and uni chum)
• Gringo Star (an ex-bandmate)
• ClydeFrog (played loadsa gigs with him)
• PeteD (^that^, in the same band)
• Aegis (^and again^)
• DrThirkenstien (ex-bandmate)
• PlugStudios (kinda obvious)
• IanAmiga (from uni)
• Chimmers (at Ostracoda's first gig)
• Treblinka... possibly... I can't remember which forum it was (ex-bandmate)
People I've met (in no particular order)
• Thyran (who is now my grrlie, the poor thing)
• Nickolai (at the Haunted!)
• PenguinGrl (^this!^)
• TheTafferBoy (played on Darkside gigs)
• xDDx/Dominik Destruction (through friends, and we had a bit of a jam)
• Ging-Kamitheist (also at ^that^ jam)
• Mid-Death-Crisis (through friends)
• Matt Bucket (at The Deftones)
• G (^that!^)
• HungryMark (in his shop)
• Gridlock (from a gig)
• StilVoid (through friends)
• TheDukeOfRock (band tryout)
• Stevetopsy (band tryout)
• ChrisWraith (bought a couple of harddrives off me)
• DJWifeBeater (think we were just drunk and got introduced)
I'm pretty sure there's a couple more, but I'm not at my sharpest at this hour. I still need to meet ScottJimb (because him and the Penguin Beast owe me drinks and dancing ), Stevolution (I've made websites and done some mixing for him and still haven't met the guy!) and definitely Missy as she seems to stalk me and Alys but never says hello!

aw, I have met so many darksiders I wouldn't like to make a list, I know I would forget too many people.
It's because I'm quite easily recognisable. _________________
