A few weeks ago we travelled north spent two evenings in the company of those Boys from Deer Lick Holler and also had the opportunity to spend some time with a couple of my closest friends. The amazing thing is that one of those, I had never met 'in the flesh' as it were until then. I have known this person almost 7 years here on the net and because of the distances involved and the fact that neither of us are particularly well we had never been able to engineer a meeting before.We originally met on an American run chat site specific to our ailments, or in my case the the 'wrong' diagnosis I was being treated for. Eventually Board Wars caused that site to disperse and we moved elsewhere to another American site. The same thing happened again, so we gave up the chat sites and contact each other directly now. The third member of our little group comes down here on holidays and we endeavour to meet up then, the last time being about 4 months ago. It was a lovely meeting, we all gabled away as though we had been around each other for ever. It felt comfortable and easy, not at all like being in the company of strangers, even the Worst Halves felt like they had known each other a while.
Tomorrow we travel to Bristol to see the band again and will meet up with other friends originally found here on the net. Wonderful to think that our paths would never have crossed had it not been for the internet.
