I've got something to say.
When I told people I was going to the concert, and would be rooming with some people, they asked who. I would tell "Oh, they are some members of a forum I'm with."
After this weekend, I am now replying differently.
I've never met an actual group of forum members until I met you guys. It just didn't seem like something that was possible. But I'm glad it happened, and definitely glad you were the first forum that I do that with.
All of you are some of the fuckin' coolest people I've ever had the privilege to hang out with. I know that sometimes humor and actions on forums don't translate into the same thing in real-life, but not so for you. You are the same people I enjoy talking to on on here, and that isn't something that probably happens every time. You were all respectful, and looked out for each other when it came to downing liquor(well, when I was there), and I appreciate that. That shot of 151 was intense, but I felt safe doing it with you guys...all that impaired me enough that I ran into a pole walking back to the Marriott. This would not have been the same experience had it not been for your actions, words, and t-shirts. I am still unsure about who is who in regards to the people that I met and their username, but hopefully, I'll get that fixed.
You all seem to have a lot of history together, from past concerts/conventions, and I hope to soon be able to take part in things like that.
Now, going back to how I answer, I'll tell you what I say. I don't say "Oh, some people I know from a forum." No, not anymore.
I now say this:
"I stayed with my friends."
