One of the unusual happenings, at the EXPO, was when a small group of RV.net TC’rs were standing around, talking with me, when an individual walked up and introduced himself and began talking with us. He admitted he was not with our group, in fact had never signed onto RV.net, but in fact was a mega long time lurker. He proved this fact, very quickly, but counting down the 4 people that were standing there with us, correctly by their names and handles! We were all surprised and of course I said; “you probably don’t know who I am, as I don’t post often, or have pictures of me posted.” Without a hesitation, he pegged my name and handle, immediately. It just proves, there are many more people out there reading our posts, than we could ever imagine. Before he walked away, he did say that he just might sign up and who knows, he might be reading my post this very minute.
Hi Bryan, (and many others) that would be me :-).
At the risk of coming across as an internet stalker..
It was a real pleasure and treat to meet what I consider to be a lot of the "rock-stars" of the truck camper community. And yes the warm welcome was encouragement enough to finally sign up, and even post.
In the event you do this next year, I now live about 15 min from the Overland office - let me know how I can help with any planning.
It's always special to meet face-to-face with folks that have common interests - and you guys did not disappoint.
For me - special thanks to Mello Mike for posting this gathering on his blog.
