Too bad he had some kind of a nymshifting accident preventing him from posting here anymore. At least that's what I heard. He was interesting.

Maybe you avoided politics, or befriended like-minded friends? What I saw that get so absolutely fucking terrible ugly stemmed from politics. That's why I try very hard to avoid discussing politics online anymore. It seems like people can no longer just discuss things, they reach a feverpitch way too fast.

There were a few women, but most of the married guys a) could not have dragged their wives to a guitar show and b) just wanted to get drunk and rowdy, anyhow. There are only a few women in the group.
Out of about half a dozen meet ups, I'd say about 4 were really good, one was OK, and one was just really, really LOUD.
Saturday afternoon when some of the guys went to the guitar show, and a couple of them worked at the guitar show, professionally, I'd have an acoustic jam in my room. The hotels were pretty tolerant of noise from about 1 to 5 in the afternoon.
I've had guys from the group stay at my house and I've stayed at a guy's house. That was always nice.
There've been a few bitter dust ups and people have dropped out, buit the group is still going. we haven't met in a while.

I suppose so, on both counts. I've even had a couple of vacations with a couple of friends.

Yeah, but you can kind of determine the personalities way before the urge to meet them kicks in, it seems.

Just from what was posted here, I don't believe he gave you his real name at first did he? Very cautious man. Shame about the alleged nym outing or whatever it was.

He didn't seem like the type to hide, though - seemed pretty ballsy. The main thing I miss is his in-depth knowledgeable of history, at least according to a lightweight like me. He and Charlie Wilkins had a few interesting dialogs I enjoyed. There are others, too, who impress on that topic - but that's what stood out to me wrt BR.
