I haven't had too many people surprise me like that, but I did have something happen that was kinda the opposite, at Atlanta last year (2004). I was standing outside the door to the Hard Rock Cafe, downtown, where I was going to meet a bunch of other CD members, and Cory walked right by me without recognizing me, though I recognized him. He was walking in the door, obviously looking for me, and I said "Are you looking for someone?"

Other than that, I don't have too many stories. Usually when I meet someone at a FIRST event, it's someone I've talked to online, and I'm just meeting them in person. I was mildly surprised when Andy Baker knew who I was at Cleveland in 2002, but I had posted asking for a Chiapua gear on here, so he had a bit of a tip-off that it was me, when I came asking for one ;)

At SVR in '04 my team had allied with 258 for the finals. Being "Safety Captain" I was allowed to hang with the drive team...

I forget what the conversation was, but one of the Sea Dawgs said my name to get my attention. This really surprised me since I hadn't introduced myself yet...turns out it was Bill Gold...

Well...a few people knew me here, but honestly, I don't remember who they were, but I think I can name everyone in that picture now.

A few years ago I met Paul Copiolli at Cal games, back when I didnt know anything (as in was really young). I had no idea who he was, but I was introduced to him. He looked young, so I thought he was some college student that used to be on a local team. It was wierd and cool, we talked for drive train stuff for like 5 minutes, and then we both went our ways. A few days later I decided to look him up on CD. Wow did I feel dumb afterwards... :P

And I still have not met Andy Baker. At least I saw Dr. Joe at Silicon Valley regional last year... he was cool. Heck, all of team 47 was cool.

Re: You know who I am?!
 

I've had TONS of people say stuff to me and I would be like....uh ok who are you? and they would tell me and I would be like HOLY COW!!!!! But I would say I am pretty notorious for doing this to people...so if your going to IRI and you post here...watch out! :cool:

Re: You know who I am?!
 

At SoCal this year, I was volunteering as real time scorekeeper. I saw Bill Gold being a ref (that is why volunteer badges are so cool), so I said hi. I told him I was DanielBCR and he said "I know you". That made me happy, because I don't consider myself very well known. We ended up seing each other again at championships.
