    Default Apologies in Advance

    I want to go ahead and apologize for my certain confusion when I meet everyone. Between everyone's twitter handle, username on these boards and their real name on Facebook, I'm going to be SO confused!

    I am trying to study up though!

    I think we will all be in the same boat on this one. I apologize in advance also!

    Yes, we're all going to be confused so no need for apologies (though we will probably be apologizing to each other all weekend- oh wait, we've met? Oh wait, that's your username?) It's bound to be confusing. I'll try to be memorable by saying something inappropriate that I will regret later (I seem to always do that).

    Maybe we need to add that to the Easy Names list thread we have going.

    Hi my name is Meg, aka Dopey's Girl here, MnMegK on Twitter and Meg Kromer on Facebook and FourSquare. To any of you that have friended me on FourSquare or Twitter, let me know if you want to do FB too, I'm always up for more friends!

    I haven't joined foursquare yet. Does it automatically check you in to places or do you have to do that? I don't always want people to know where I am. I mean in life, not during our meet (in which, of course I want you to find me).

    It's manual, thank goodness!

    All my names are either Melanie or Melanie Bounds, so I'm easy.

    I had a hard time keeping everyone straight at the last meet and that was BEFORE Twitter, instagram, FourSquare, etc. I remember meeting people and introducing ourselves by screen names instead of real names. "Hi I'm Carol, PolyGirl. This is Michael, he's NotAGeek."

    But that's ok, the name tags are really helpful. Will non-staff have them this year too? I remember getting a sticker last time.

    Edit- I got freaked out by the title of this post, I thought there was bad news that the meet was cancelled or something!

    I'm just worried that I will forget everybody I met five years ago! If we have met already, and I forget who you are, please don't be offended!

    Oh gosh, I am the WORST of the worst when it comes to remembering people's names. Seriously. When I meet people, I swear, it sounds like "Hi, my name is blehrgrahhh." I don't even HEAR the name the first time, usually. I have to immediately ask, "what was your name?" and act like I'm hard of hearing. It's so bad...

    Nametags. Nametags are good.

    Mine's not so much being confused by a person's real name, I'm just scared I'm not going to make the connection to the other names I might know you better by (specifically Twitter, since I'm so active on there).

    I'll meet Meg and know that Dopey's Girl has been super active here on INTERCOT forever (since the server fund drive at least!) and then later back at the room it will hit me - OH, MnMegK, who is also active on Twitter and a podcast listener!

    Just an example Meg, cause I won't forget you.

    Ten years ago, no problem remembering all this. And now I'm in my 40s and well.....

    Natalie, if you're the WORST, then you have a partner... I am SO bad!! I ALWAYS have to ask Dan, "What was their name?" and if he isn't with me... then it's, "Hi! How are you?" and just hope that something they say will give me a clue.....

    Thankfully, there are a bunch of you I remember well from the 10th... just hoping I can cement all the new names in, too!!

    I'm Dsnygirl here and on Twitter... Blythe on FourSquare... so pretty straightforward.

    Sherri, I joined FourSquare just so I can "check in" at all the cool places when we're down there... and then realized it's kinda like a game, unlocking badges for how often you are somewhere, or a certain "type" of place, like a pub or a coffeehouse... now it's become a bit of a fun new addiction, although I'm not sure how long it will last after we get home!!

    I'll join the two of you. I've always been bad with names.

    I haven't joined FourSquare yet, I manage to waste enough time between here, Twitter and Facebook. I'm not sure I can handle any more.

    I'm Cindy Jachrimo on everything except Intercot.

    I wish I wear in all your shoes having to worry about keeping the names straight. Instead, I'll be home, knowing my name, and pouting that I couldn't join in on the fun

    I miss Gowalla! They had the coolest 'badges' and 'levels', then they completely changed it and made it into more of a 'tell a story with your check-ins' app. So weird! I saw so many complaints and people giving it up, including myself.

    I do like Foursquare and getting deals/coupons at some of the places I check in. Nice perk!

    There are deals? I'm signing up. But like Cindy, I'm worried about time. I also have a Tumblr. I'm updating my website. I have two FB sites to keep track of (a profile and a page). Twitter. I haven't even attempted linked in. I think I still have a Myspace I never use (myspace, hahaha). It's getting crazy, but fun. I'm Sherri Erwin or Sherri Browning Erwin on everything but here.

    I wasn't able to make the 10 year meet but I was at the 5 year one, who else was there? I probably have you in my pictures that I keep looking at and saying, "Now who is that?" I don't even know what foursquare is and I have never even tweeted so this will be interesting... You are who?...over and over and over...
