What boardies did you meet/see?

[miscorrections]

You probably made the right decision. We're horribly unfriendly people, Corinna and I.

She's right. I made a shiv just for stabbing board members.

[instinct]

I saw you and said "I agree with your shirt" on friday I think! you were sitting with your wife/gf near the outdoor stage!!!

haha cool.

Haha.. Yeah, I remember. I said "Thank you" and walked away.. and then thought to myself it was kind of an odd response. That was my girlfriend, she posts as Beef Jerky. Post a pic of yourself, so I can help remember!

[algunz]

That was Lilia (unknown), algunz. Thank you for saying hi.

That's what I thought, but . . .

I didn't want to presume.


Lilia, it was a pleasure to meet you. You are very pretty.

[unknown]

I met, saw, and hung out with so many of you. My weekend was so special and amazing thanks to you guys! I can't even list everyone because my brain is not functioning at full capacity and I am bound to leave people out.

algunz - I am uploading pics and tagged the one I took of us. It came out beautiful (especially for an extended arm shot)!!!

[algunz]

I stopped to shake your hand en route to the outdoor theatre, I think on Saturday (maybe Sunday?), as you were walking away from it, it was whatever day you were wearing your algunz shirt... perhaps I am the "?"

Sorry if I was too awkward! I just had to stop and say something...

It was you! It was a pleasure.

[JelloPuddingChat]

Met up with matt, josh, becky, becca and her husband for the specials. I saw passive around a lot. Chatted with drinky, broken doll, suffocated and board woozel. talked to bmack. Ran into neutral milk, who I've seen outside the fest before, a few times. I saw mike walking before on friday but wasn't sure at first cause he was clean shaven so I didn't say hi..Not sure if I forgot anyone but everybody was super nice as I've come to expect. Great times.

[chiapet]

algunz, I am pretty sure I saw you, but I wasn't certain it was you, and was uncharacteristically bashful about marching up to a stranger and demanding to know her name.

[algunz]

I wish you had. It's very rare when I'll be the one to initiate anything outside of the bedroom.

[full on idle]

I met you Chiapet during Camera Obscura. I think you're the only new person I met. I saw Feather in her leotard with mirrors on the butt from a distance before Avett Bros. I also saw Randy and Ivy skipping by but I didn't interrupt.

[Courtney]

I am sad I didn't get to meet/hang out again with any of you all awesome people. But next year!

[Courtney]

By the way, this is adorable. And Becca, I want to know where you got that top.

That's right! I remember meeting you but afterwards couldn't remember your board name. It was great to meet you

[guedita]

I met a lot of you, but I am too lazy to compile a list. And I wish I had met more of you.

I saw menik in the water refill station and was too shy to introduce myself. Instead, I whispered, "that's a board moderator!" in an excited voice to my boyfriend, who looked at me like I was an idiot.

Hahaha. I liked your boyfriend! He has got to be pretty tolerant of the internet friends thing with the number of board people hanging around you all weekend.

[weeklymix]

Hanging with Becca was rad.

Edit: As a matter of fact I liked every board member I met this year. Fantastic.

[tricorne]

I liked all but one of them. Have fun speculating, kiddos.

[captncrzy]

I hugged so many of you that now I'm sick.

Thanks!

[Harrisment]

I saw a guy that looked just like Passive toking it up with some friends when I was at Deerhunter. I've never actually met or talked to him on the boards, but I've seen pictures of his fro so I'm pretty sure it was him.

[rskapcat]

Specific memories:
The random Sleigh Bells meetup.
Dancing with Heidi at Dirty Projectors.
Brandon's backing vocals for Jonsi.
Getting to hang with my brother-from-another-mother all weekend (Tommy).
Finally getting to meet Zack. I'm going to steal your girlfriend.
Watching Deerhunter-SDRE-Jonsi with a constantly growing group of board members.
Getting to watch Pavement with my fellow super-fan, Casey.
Getting to spend time with Josh and Paul and their respective ladies. I'm stealing them, too.
Getting the giggles with my housemates. 12 pack of eggs.

Had so many fun conversations with people all weekend. Watching sets with friends really does add to the magic...so glad my group of friends gets bigger with each board member I meet.

A few pictures:

[JelloPuddingChat]

So nice meeting you Becca. That specials get together/set was my favorite moment this year.

[menikmati]

I saw/met so many board members, it was crazy. If you are reading this, who was the girl/board member who came up to me at the back of the Sahara on Saturday and asked if I was Erik...you said you knew me from the board, and you told me your name and board handle (maybe it was dawn something? I dunno), but I couldn't hear you because of the Sahara and I didn't want to be annoying ask you to repeat it. Anyway, thanks for saying hi...you seemed really nice and sweet.

[PassiveTheory]

People I regrettably did NOT encounter this year: Trick Loves The Kids, betao, and Calmer Than You. I blame Coachella being such a crowded fucking shitshow this year.

I am quite certain I missed someone. Sorry. I am still super tired and it was a crazy weekend.

It's cool, Joann. It was nice chilling with you before Fever ray.

Hahaha. I liked your boyfriend! He has got to be pretty tolerant of the internet friends thing with the number of board people hanging around you all weekend.

Even on the way to and from the festival, too!

That was me. I make friends pretty fast.

[menikmati]

Haha, ok cool...sorry bout the confusion..it's so hard to talk/hear at the back of the Sahara when someone is playing.

[Grant]

It was funny for me. I noticed rage and I think Becca over near the lockers on Friday? Not sure about Becca. Then I saw menik in the VIP area. Saturday I ran into rage again at Almighty Defenders and asked him about the board meetup, said it was near the cubitron around 2. Went there, nobody showed, looked over near the Sahara and saw a bunch of people, ran over, and just managed to take the photo. I met menik, boarderwoozel, djandrew, Passive (again, met him last year but he forgot who I was, lol) and feather. Then Sunday I ran into Tom near the Outdoor and I saw Pete at Mayer Hawthorne and went up to say hi. Overall it was good, would've loved to meet more of you though. I didn't have internet access all weekend so I guess I lucked out recognizing somebody and asking.

[algunz]

Lilia, you really are "unknown."
