Rob: Take a close look. He looks so harmless doesn't he? The Acidman is somewhat quiet in person. I love to listen to his stories about when he was growing up and what he has experienced in his life. It's hard to equate the real life Rob, with the person you see on the blog. That's most likely the thing that keeps me coming back to his site. A real Southern Gentleman is Rob.

The Acid Brothers: A musical team that brings me back to the days of Simon and Garfunkel. Dave, Rob's brother is a wonderful man, with a wonderful talent for stroking that guitar, and a voice to match. The look so much alike, it's almost eerie. Next time, I think I'll bring a tape to record their music. Good stuff.

Rube: He brought along his lovely significant other Anna. They are vacationing here from Germany. Rumor has it, they came to the United States to attend the Writer's Conference. I can't argue with that. When I was introduced to him by Zonker, I had my reservations. "Moogie, meet You Bitch." Yeah, that's what I said. What a wonderful couple. I was only sorry that I didn't get to talk to them all that much.

Jim: He resides at Parkway Rest Stop. Class act. All the way around. He's a seriously talented guitar player that has a singing voice that would make women swoon. To top all of that off, he has a wicked sense of humor. I also talked to him on the phone Friday night and felt immediately at ease.

Denny: Denny resides at the Grouchy Old Cripple and that name couldn't be further from the truth. The man is a gem. A talented all around musician, with a gentle manner. I enjoyed the time I got to talk to him, even though it wasn't enough.

Eric: Ah Mr. Straight White Guy. He brought along his lovely wife, Mrs. Straight White Guy. Both of them were wonderful people. I could listen to his wife talk all day. Such a melodic voice. Eric wasn't so bad in his own right either. He really made me feel welcome and made sure that I had been introduced to everyone (along with Zonker and Cat). He gave me a buttload of poker chips, which I now have proudly displayed on my desk. I've almost forgiven him for his GRANDMOTHER comment, but not quite. If you want the full story, you'll have to ask him.

Velociman: I still don't have a full grasp of the man behind the blog but I think I'm getting there. He once described himself as a torilla and I think that might be a good one. He's very gracious with a wonderful sense of humor. He brought along The Bride, which was a wonderful treat. It was great to put a face with a name because I kept picturing him to look something like what he has posted on his blog.

Catfish: What can I say about this most gracious southern gentleman. He is Da Man! I asked him to marry me about 12 times but he kept turning me down. Something about having met Mr. Moogie and not wanting to make him mad. What a guy. He is all that I thought he would be, and more. Not only that, he's a neighor and I'm hoping we can get together in between blog meets.

Key: What can I say? This woman is as beautiful on the outside as she is on the inside. One class act. I didn't get to talk to her as much as I would have liked, but I have to say, I look forward to the next time we meet. Another absolute gem. They don't make them any finer than that.

Kelley: I didn't get much of a chance to chat with this gal either, but let me tell you, she is a hoot. She's also a wonderful singer. I could listen to her all day.

That's about all the photos fit to print. There were so many I didn't get. You can view more
