I'm not sure what I would expect, but I think it would be a pretty cool experience. In the meantime, I agree that we have to remember to step away from our monitors and walk outside and go interact with real people.

Yeah, I can totally relate to what you explained above. The first time I showed up for pho with the whole bunch (including the post-whore Leo Chiang ;)) it was pretty crazy meeting the faces behind the blogs. The world has has definitely become a smaller place... Hey Michael, thanks for the shout out, lol!

When I met Gary (or John for that matter), it was a very surreal experience, because it's easy to forget that there is a real person behind that blog. The experience would be similar to having lunch with a cartoon character... it's like sitting down to pho with Bart Simpson. I’m not really sure what else I can say.

I'll be in Vegas at the same time as PubCon for a conference on SOA for work. I'm thinking that might present an opportunity to meet a few bloggers face-to-face.

The rest of them -- Ed, Stephen, etc. -- seem to have known one another for a lot longer than that. I'm the relative newbie to the group.
