Last spring I received a "blind" PM from a gentleman, named JBL, stating that we lived somewhat nearby and would I be interested in coming by for a visit. I did and as I was walking up his Sarracenia lined driveway, my jaw was wide open in awe. He then showed me his minibog, filled with VFT's, Sarracenias, and D. filiformis. Then came the huge terrarium inside, filled with all manner of pigmy dews, P. agnata, and a few other things. He also gave me some parting gifts - VFT's, Sarracenias, and dews. On Thursday we had the visit to my job, where I keep my plants. So I showed him my makeshift racks of window sill clamoring plants. Then we drove to my place, where I showed him the imfamous CP-swallowing stream.

I have also met with Elgecko, three times now - and I hope again. Got to see his discus tank, and his terrarium.
 
The only person who Ive met so far was Pat-Trashcan

I need to socialize a bit more I know theres alot of cpers here nearby
 
I have met Phil and Mike of course.
 
I haven't met anybody. Really sucks living with people who look over your shoulder when you do anything and insist on assuming everybody on the Internet are psychos who have no motives other than to stalk you.
 
To all who know Jim Scott. You may already may know this, but Jim is even better in person than here in the forums. I ususally prefer to meet people face to face rather than communicate this way--that's why you don't hear from me so much. But I realize that I have very few friends with this interest close by, so I'll try to do a better job.

You will never find a more humble and genuine guy than Jim. He is kid safe, adult safe, and even pretty good with CPs except for sending a few sailing downstream.

That emoticon is Jim looking for the plants.

Thanks for the return visit Jim--sorry I took so long.

As Jimscott mentioned I have met him. He is the only one on the forums I have met.
I have also met will 2 people who have CP nurseries. 1 in MD and 1 in VA. I hope to visit Tony in NY sometime this year.

Maybe in 2006 if there is a get together for the ICPS convention like Ozzy was asking about in MD, maybe I can meet some other people.
If any one who read that thread may remember I thought there might be no way of going because of it being my 10th wedding anniversary on that weekend. I did bring it up to the wife and she said that maybe I could go......but it will cost me. She has not figured out what yet, but I'll have to see if I can afford it.

Oh, Steve? Uh, you could never, ever repay your wife for such a concession.  I feel like I'm dealing with the devil with every allowance made from mine.  I hope to see you there or some other time.  PM me and lets arrange for us, along with Jim Scott, to meet and go bogging.

I met Griffin and was gonna meet Copper but she got laid up for a bit but I hope to still see her later this Spring/Summer. A month after I joined the forum Rattler came to Omaha but we didn't know each other yet so i guess I missed my chance. Maybe another day. Oh, I also met Griffin's friend who partly runs the local college GH. He was a good guy too - don't remember his name though.

Hi there JLAP! No, I wish I had the energy to do that much digging. I have a steep drive with steps along the side leading up to my house on a hill (you know, like Norman Bates!--just kidding). On each step I have large black plastic mortar mixing tubs, each of which are filled with 4-6 two gallon pots with my Sarracenia. I hope that rubra cross I sent last year survived. I just uncovered my bog and they look horrid. But spring has sprung!

they did survive and are sending up buds, as well as making new growth points!

they look a little ragged right now because of the weird weather we've been having, putting them in and out and in and out, but they are doing absolutely fabulously!

Unfortunately I have only met two forum members...Mike (Cynic81) who goes to school here at VCU and Bob up in Winchester. I wish I could meet more. I haven't been able to find any other CP folks here in Richmond.
