Hypographers Who Meet

[Pyrotex]

Saturday, February 25, 2006, was a wonderful day.
It was the day I met a fellow Hypographer for the first time!
The FH in question was none other than InfiniteNow, aka, Sean.
It was a cool day, just before noon, and my wife (Gwen) and I had just entered the outskirts of Austin, Texas. I gave a call to the cell phone number InifiteNow had given me Friday, and heard his voice. I just said "hello!". He responded, "who is this?" I did my best imitation of Darth Vader and said, "This is Pyrotex."

We met at a restaurant he suggested, Guero's Tacos on Capital Blvd, on the south side of Austin. Great funky neo-Sixties neighborhood! Ancient homes and stores renovated just days before they would have collapsed, and turned into magic shops and eateries. Sean was waiting for us and managed to spot me immediately. How did he do that? The food was wonderful and so was the conversation. Of course, we talked shamelessly about ALL of YOU! We told Gwen about the "booger head" incident and how Sean lost and then regained his reputation, and we laughed our asses off, to the great amusement of the tables nearby.

This thread is for Hypographers to tell the story of how they first met a FH in person. Even if that event occured before they became Hypographers. Enjoy!!!

On Saturday, February 25, I met this complete jerk named Nelson. He was so houdie toudie and smug that I could barely breathe. Fortunately, there were loads of cute women around us so I could at least distract myself a bit as he droaned on endlessly about complete dribble and nonsense. Fortunately for me, he didn't notice my discontent...




Kidding!



I had a wonderful time, and honestly felt like I'd known him for a long time since I had some clue as to his background and stance on various topics. Wouldn't it be cool if we could get a bunch of Hypographites together and go sailing or something? Man... can you imagine the topics of conversation during such a cruise?


Thanks for the props, Pyrotex. The pleasure was entirely mine. Who else on the site has met after having exchanged dialogue on this site?

Well, you were right about the cute women, mister "Central Casting".

well, i suppose this would count, though it isn't nearly as big a deal as some kind of vast travel or rare meeting. . .

armofreek, orbsycli, inside the sun, tartanism, and myself all went to the same middle school the same years. shortly after that, i met drip curl magic and bpj g 2fat in high school.

i believe orb was the first hypographite, with sun and drip following, and the rest coming on shortly after that.

i'm very proud that our social circle has evolved so well mentally.
i love all of you guys

Not because you actually do look like a stamp, maybe?

Sirrah, I resemble that remark! Thanks. You've given me my "big laugh" of the day, and I appreciate that. Now shut up and go away.


P.S.: And that's a "Five Dollar Stamp" to you, buddy! And YOU look like a... like a... My god, what IS that?!?!?

That would explain a lot!
You buncha' Hippies

Everyone knows that Turtle and Rac have seen each.other quite a bit.
Enough for my liking anywayz.

Aside from being friends, we also have mutual friends.

Maybe we should start a new trend of actually using our real photos for avatars - that way we can get to know each other a bit more personal?

Only a thought... look, I've changed to using my photo!

What happened to the mullet!!!

My first meeting with a Hypographite was when I met pgrmdave, beccareb, zadojla and Alexander in New York! And shortly after I met IrishEyes and nemo. Wonderful people, all of them!

I had plans to meet MortenS but so far they have remained plans...shame on me considering we work in the same city! (Let's do something about that Morten!)
