Chapter 1 - The Meet and Greet
Expectations and realism are two different things. When I saw the announcement that Rachel was doing a show at Joe's Pub, I said hey I have to go to that. I live in Jacksonville Florida, and made sure I was going. I was like yea, I get to meet Rachel, Mikey , Simon and "PETE". I admit I was excited, I rehearsed the M&G in my head 100 times, what would I say?
The day came and I got to Joe's and it was so different than I imagined. The Bloggers.. yes you all who are reading this.. you all made the night for me. Seeing flesh and blood, smiles and handshakes , grins and chatting, people drinking, eating, talking, the buzz of the crowd, set off an idea in my head. Long before Rachel hit the stage I was in awe.. My family, who previously was my family of bits and bytes are now in front of me. It was like we met many many years ago, we all knew each other, so cool. After Rachels show, well that was a dream, to relate on the same level with the bloggers that were there was excellent... truly.
I love Pete and Rachel, wish Mikey and Simon where there, Foy
was AMAZING and so was Martha... but the bloggers... god was it great to meet you all.I flew back to Jacksonville the next day and here I am, by family of bits and bytes again.. but I know you all better now.. and now know the smiles of you all - Great People you all are. Proud to be your friends..

Well, I'll be the one who posts first here :)
I envy you Ronzi, an opportunity well taken advantage of.
I can't believe we didn't meet.....I asked for you, and you were pointed out (in a corner, on Rachel's side) to me by Sully...I couldn't get to you tho, as Rachel was going on stage..we sat directly in front of Pete, and NO, we were NOT the hecklers!!!
It was all so surreal, and like a dream!!!
Next time we must get to say hello!!!

Me too Ronzi... Elizabeth and I saw you outside as we were floating away on cloud #9. Thanks for taking that photo with Pete, Sully and I! Sorry we didn't get a chance to talk - next time round - okay? Cheers!
Hi Ronzi! IKWYM. Hanging out with the bloggers was as much fun as meeting Rachel!! It was a great night.
Rock on, dude! It was fun meeting everyone including you.

it was very cool meeting everyone; it was just like "a dream we dreamed one afternoon long ago" ;-)
