My stalking pays off ;)
Posted by Jade Elizabeth on September 19, 2009, 05:09:48 PM
Hey everyone!!
Sometimes the SMF team members meet up to discuss SMF work and have a little fun getting to know each other offline. The biggest and most official of these meet ups has been the Meeting of the Minds (MoTM), in which most of the team met up and worked on SMF face to face for about a week.
Though I was not on the team during the MoTM and therefore couldn’t go, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting up with a few SMF team members including Amacythe (Project Manager) and dschwab9 (Site Team Lead, though he was a Project Manager at the time) in the past. We hung out and had lunch, while still discussing SMF stuff
.
Recently, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting up with a certain SMF Friend (Former Support Lead and Project Manager) for a week. This particular friend is one I’ve adored since before I became a team member, and is the reason I am one today (he pushed and inspired me to keep writing). It all started with a stalkerish appreciation topic which some may remember, We love BlackMage!! I’ve locked the topic so that it cannot be bumped, by the way
. After that topic we got talking and found we had heaps in common. Since then Justin (Metallica48423, former BlackMage) and I have been best friends – which is almost 2 years now.
Justin drove down to GA, where I live, and took me to a Metallica concert in Nashville Tennessee. It was AWESOME, and Metallica rocked! They had lasers, smoke, and FIRE!!
We had lots of fun, and couldn’t hear for hours afterwards. But it was worth it!!
We spent the rest of the week just messing around, travelling and hanging out doing what ever we thought would be fun. We met up with another SMF Friend, Douglas (aka TheBear), and went bowling (we each won one of the three games) too!
Even though I met up with SMF Friends and not teamies (this time), the fun I had with them will definitely help me be fresher when I write my next document. Speaking of documentation, we’ve got some awesome things coming so keep an ear to the ground!
Here’s a few pics of Justin and I.

This was awesome to read.
Thanks for sharing Jade
*rereads and edits
Thanks for sharing your experience
When Jade and I ate at a steakhouse, though it wasn't Outback, it cost around $40 for the 2 of us. I know outback well enough to know that their prices are similar to this steakhouse's prices.
It was worth every penny though
I don't see $20 per person as particularly expensive.
Later.
Damn, I was hoping for something exciting
