Who at Niagara surprised you the most when you met them? Either by the way they looked, acted, or sounded?
Alun Jones said he was surprised by me and had imagined I was 19 years old or so....I didn't know whether to take that as a compliment or not but didn't dare ask.
Hey Ben Bortner! You couldn't even respond to a hello? Strange behavior there I tell ya'......

ben looked like i thought...and briggite, you are EXACTLY what i imagined!! but i guess i've seen pics of you two.

tom ("hey you") didnt look like what i thought...

but the winner is gr8pumpkin alex !! you are really quiet alex, and i'm glad i met you (you're so much younger than i thought!! i was SURE you were like 35 or so (that is good on your part, means you act mature on here) ).

again, i'm so glad i met so many of you finally.

I thought that this only happened to me! Eddy Z. (ice-man) took the cake in my opinion. I pictured him for some reason as tiny with glasses and about 55. He turned out to be comparativelly young (estimate: 40), and about 6' 6". Alex.

Well, Well,
It was kind of funny.. because no one looked like I imagined...Not in a bad way.. I just thought you all were much older..he he.. I noticed a lot more people on Sunday. But not as much networking as Friday or Sat. So I will have to make a point of just walking up to you guys next time..lol
It was very nice to meet everyone and be able to put a face to a name now.. Shannon and I had A GREAT time.. After driving 15.5 hours.. It was well worth it.. We will definatly do it again..

Thank You all for making it a GREAT time!

Steve....I saw how you guys were starting to get, and THE look in your eyes. That's *why* I missed the night before.
I felt much safer to go to my room, call my kids, and go to bed :0)

Everyone guessed who I was without even getting introduced to me first...

Some people I knew instantly who it was, and with others I would look at them and wonder... "hmm...is that so and so?" I noticed more differences in personalities than looks...some of the people that are real whipper snappers in the chatroom are actually pretty humble in person. And vice versa as well.

Big Mark was as I expected...Glenn a lot "lighter"...Chuck (Alexsdad) I always thought of as being like 5'6" and 200lb... wrong there then, Bart was what he should have been with his ancestors being involved with the Independence thing. Kenny Myers...he was what I imagined as was Eddie the Iceman...but keep ya lips sealed Eddie..(PLEASE)

Alex I thank you for the compliment, I'm 47 and only 6' tall
The 55 year old tiny guy with glasses was Alun, who I had visions of being a 35 year old weight lifter.
