I have not run into an active rain person when out of town.  I'm hoping to attend a meet-up again soon so I can meet "in person" some of the great people I see here in the Rain ...

Last time I saw an Active Rain member was last May in Colorado when I had dinner with Joan Cox and before that lunch with Brian England in Phoenix, but these were not accidental meetings. And I'm looking forward to seeing you next week in Charlotte.

Unless you recognize them, there is no way to know whether someone is on AR just by looking at them since we don't wear badges or pins to identify as such. Nevertheless, unless it's prearranged, I meet people mostly at conventions and conferences.

I have never accidentally met an out-of-town Active Rain member.

Matter of a fact, the 'in-towner' meet up would be the result of great effort.

Such a meet up in an environment of SUCCESS should be beneficial.
