New Poll!!

desertgrandma · 04-13-2009, 10:17 PM

With such a world wide forum, its very likely we'll never all get to meet each other in the real world. Even with the regional meetups, there is still way too much space dividing us.

So.........

IF you could meet and spend time with any MobileRead members, which ones would they be, and WHY. If your choice isn't listed, please post your choice.

Multiple choices are permitted.

Don't forget to post why you want to meet these members.

May I ask the German and French forums to translate and post in their respective forums also? Thanks!

Members are listed in no particular order.

I want to meet Hugo and Lefty.

desertgrandma · 04-13-2009, 10:27 PM

Dang it, I KNEW IT!! I forgot Sir Sir Ralph Edward!!!!

desertgrandma · 04-13-2009, 10:29 PM

And Steve Jordan, and who knows who else.

So, just tell us all who you'd love to meet if you ever got the chance. Okay?

daffy4u · 04-13-2009, 10:34 PM

Who lives in the Caribbean? I would like to meet you and become your best friend (and bring everyone here with me).

montsnmags · 04-13-2009, 10:52 PM

I picked myself. It's not a vanity thing; I'm a "neurotic introvert", remember (as others may wish to do if foolish enough to consider the same option.

)

lilac_jive · 04-13-2009, 10:52 PM

You say multiple choices are allowed, but they aren't

Who to choose?

I might just pick myself

desertgrandma · 04-13-2009, 11:46 PM

Mods, could someone click on the "multiple choice" option? I seem to have forgotten.,.,

Lady Blue · 04-14-2009, 01:45 AM

I vote for all of the above and everybody else you forgot or didn't have room for.

I would like to meet Crutledge.
Whatever else is happening in MobileRead land, Crutledge quietly carries on producing wonderful ebooks for us all to enjoy.
We're very lucky to have many wonderful ebook contributors, and I am grateful to all of them - but there's something about Crutledge's quiet dedication that I find inspirational.
Crutledge is my favourite MobileRead hero, and I would love to meet him!

Ok, who lives in the most beautiful place? That rules out any cities and mountains have my preference above the sea...

Yes, could we all meet up somewhere in an alternate universe? Since we can't meet in the realworld and there is no way I could possibly choose. Wait a minute, didn't nekokami have a nifty little device which shifts you to an alternate dimension?!

We could all meet up and maybe Hugo and Lefty would come as well, if they weren't too busy.

There would be chocolate, drinks from your country of choice (Germany, Portugal, Canada, Australia, etc), more chocolate, baked goods made from desertgrandma's recipes, maple syrup, more chocolate...

There would be no shums, trolls, scary bunnies, squirrel armies, Max (or anything even vaguely resembling Max), cat footprints, ants on desks, floods, tornadoes, or anything resembling work.
