Do you know any VJers?

[Henia 11]

Have you met any VJer? (No names needed)

In person?

Or talked on the phone?

Glad?

Regreted?

[Fandango 1,440]

I haven't met any in person, but I have spoken to a couple of ppl on here. And I have every intention of meeting in person.

A VJ meetup of selective ppl? I'd be down with that. A whole boatload? I'd prolly go for the entertainment factor

[Aymerlu 3]

Yes, I've met 2 in person, one being in Egypt and have spoke to others via emails and on the phone. No regrets. Everyone I've met or have talked to is great!

I have met 3 VJ'ers in person, Kelly, Dawn and Andrea. I talk with Amal on the phone once in awhile. They are all as wonderful in person as they are here.

No, haven't met anyone as of yet.

Would I go to a meet? Depends on who else would be going honestly. Ditto on going to a wedding.

[Henia 11]

I have meet a few VJers in person here in the USA and talked to a few more on the phone. Hopefully will attend 2 VJers weddings this Summer.

There was a Texas guy that sent me a PM about confusion he and his Belarusian fiancee had about obtaining the correct apostles on some documents she would need for her interview in Warsaw. I asked my wife to send her an e-mail to answer any questions. They traded quite a lot of e-mails until she arrived here. It so happened that they lived in San Antonio and we visited them once while on a trip to San Antonio. They have since moved to Chicago, but my wife still trades e-mails with her and keeps in touch.

There was another Texas guy that sent me a PM and later e-mails to ask some questions about Belarus and K-1/K-2 stuff. He was in the process of getting a K-1/K-2 for his Belarusian fiancee and sent me photos of his trips to Minsk to see her. We corresponded for quite a while and had plans to get together when his fiancee finally arrived. Out of the blue both of his e-mail addresses sent back "delivery failures" when I wrote back to him and I never heard from him again. My guess is that they broke up and he wanted to forget about it. Very strange.

I have only met one member accidentally in a mall in Tampa, over 2 years ago. Kind of funny. She recognized Sujeet and I walking around and approached us saying, "you might think I'm weird for asking, but are you a member of VJ?"

Besides that, I have only talked to two couples on the phone. In fact, VipulandJamie were nice enough to call me on my birthday a couple months ago, which was also the anniversary of their visa interview.

Sujeet met 2 people while he was still in India (Vipul was one of them).

I still keep in touch via emails and blogs with other members who are not active here anymore but were active when I was a newbie.

I would like to meet some Vjers definitely, but am shy when it comes to thinking of a big group get together. There would be many factors involved in whether I wanted to attend a gathering or not. I think I'll definitely meet the 2 couples I mentioned above one day, not sure if I'll get a chance to meet anyone else. We'll see!!

Yes, I would attend a fellow VJer's wedding if I knew them pretty well and they weren't too far away. I would have invited a couple people from VJ to our wedding too had they lived closer and been able to attend.

I have developed online relationships with a few VJers off VJ but no meet-ups yet. This is the only forum I've ever participated in, so maybe I'm a bit wary, but so far so good. I think it would be awesome if VJ had a yearly meetup somewhere nice and warm.

Maybe that's just because I'm freezing my ####### off up in MN today...

We ran into a fellow VJer at the consulate in Casa. Was cool, and are still in contact.

I would attend a VJ country wide meeting- as long as it was held in Orange County, California.

[rebeccajo 14]

Yes, we've met up with another VJ couple. It was lovely and we plan to do it again.

I've spoken with several on the phone, and some regularly.

I would LOVE to go the a meetup. The more the merrier!

And if at all possible, there's a wedding we'd really like to attend this summer....

But maybe fall instead of summer.

I spoke on the phone, but didn't meet anyone in person. I would like to meet some of the brazilian girls, but it's not possible for now. And yes I would attend to some of their wedding if it was possible, but also it isn't ...
