Of
this list, I finally got to meet...
Rich Kressly - Although his namebadge was wrong
Koko Ed - Whom I managed to find at the webhug
Bill Gold - Whom we HAVE to get to IRI, because he was just too awesome and we didn't get to hang out enough
Heidi Foster - Whom I hunted down on Thursday, and who was a total pleasure to meet (thank you for the ltd edition button!)
Gary Dillard - Whom I teased about the short shorts picture
Bharat Nain - Who freaked us out with his 'I Am JVN' backpack
Jeff & Tyler Wetzel - Although I had met Jeff before, they're still cool
Dorienne Plait - Who was just as sweet as I had imagined her to be!
Kim O'Toole - Who shook her milkshake with me, and sang backups
Jenny Beatty - No relation, very nice and a great NEMO
Kathy Kentfield - Another outstanding NEMO
Jay Trzaskos - Whom I cheered for in the stands, and did a great job driving
and last, but certainly not least:
Greg Needel - My dance partner who helped me bust a move
What a great weekend. I'd say my meet & greet 'report card' was pretty good; Rich Wong and Travis Covington weren't in attendance, I tried to meet the elusive Joe Ross like three times, and for the UFH's I didn't meet (Wayne Cokeley, Joe Ross, Ian Mackenzie) I did get to meet several other people who were great (like UFH's Warren Boudreaux and Mark Breadner, the guys from 65, etc.). Thanks to all those who took me up on my 'Meet Amanda In Atlanta' offer, and I hope you enjoyed your sweet treat! I couldn't even BEGIN to list everyone, as I went through about a bag and a half of candy (around 75)... so for everyone that came to say hi, it was great to meet you!
