Plan it? I've been planning to go to Washington since before Christmas! I live far away (NC, remember), but I wanted to visit there. My best friend lives in WA; we grew up together in Cali. Basically, we've all been planning/coordinating stuff since before I bought tickets in Feb/March. We also all had to be flexible (me especially) for changes--some things were played by ear day-to-day while I was there.
Well, it's kind of hard to meet a person who's afraid to give out any personal info about themselves. ;P
Edit: Oh yeah, I've now met 3 TMKers in person. I've talked on the phone with many more, though (E3 2005, anyone?).
