I think you looking too much into this. Just a few beers and story telling. If you want o give your name fine if not no need. No one will know who the other person is or what their handle is. I’m looking at tomorrow eve. Whoever what’s to show up let’s decide on a place and maybe later we all go party. Lol. But we need more than 2 guys for sure. Pm me and let’s get this done.
I need a few days notice unfortunately, I have prior engagements planned for tomorrow and Saturday already. I’m totally down for next week, if we can decide on a time,date and location.

It takes a long time to build trust with another monger, first through private messages and then trough some other communication outsude of these review sites.

Then you can move on to beers, lunch or whatever. It is good to get to know them beyond the walls of this hobby. It's amazing how there are other things we have in common with them.
Going back,....the only time, the only monger in my opinion that pulled off gatherings was Mickboy. It was a time of Captain Dutch, Turnpike Mike, 1Girl, Jetlag, SANDMANHD and alike, a well respected cache of others. Sure, everyone says they're on board for such events but when the time came, the cream rose to the top and Wayne is correct, when it's done properly, handled, co-ordinated professionally, it's a very special, very good time.

The venues not only catered to meet/greet but offered private areas for more "quiet time", moments for interludes which may have not been possible or convenient for some, a chance to put an end to the wondering about the face behind the posts, ladies one may never have had the chance to meet. I could never rap my head around the challenge of putting something like this together and Mickboy pulled it off, more then several times.

Sadly, SANDMANHD passed away two years ago but I remain thankful for his friendship, his input and honesty,....purely one of the great board members who's sorely missed.

I don't know if anything remains in the threads/posts on the other board but there should, maybe a way of finding some history about some of Mickboy's efforts. I think the key is organizers credibility, the respect gleaned not only from mongers/members but the ladies as well. Afterall, no one's lookin to attend a circle jerk with a bunch of dudes and Mickboy had the well deserved respect where ladies felt comfortable attending one of his meetings. It was a very special time, doubt it could be duplicated these days, as professionally as it was. I could go on but I won't,....Wayne's on the money with his thoughts.

I was fortunate enough to go to a get together in Edison. I met a lot of great people. Unfortunately, I never got to one of Mickboy’s expanded menu events, my schedule just never matched up. I echo Steelhead’s sentiment about it being a special time. When I was active on the other board, I made a lot of friends who I traded a lot of great intel with.....

Ah memories....
