I met my first blogger buddy today. The Malagasy Dwarf Hippo himself! :) It was really nice to connect to the person behind the great thoughts.
Venue: my favorite brunch place in the city: Eatery.
The transition between online and real life friendship can be quite daunting. The online communication doesnt easily translate to a real connection. I've been there a few times as I met many Zootopians (U2 fanclub) for a lot of the U2 concerts and events.
But, in this case, I felt completely at ease and had a great time. (I hope Lova did too!! :P) Lova was exactly as I had pictured him in my mind. We chatted away about the Gingster and BooBoo, Africa, U2, life, Dr. Mosi, UN, the world being flat etc. Good times!!
Coming up next: Meetup with the folks at Sepia Mutiny. And hopefully the rest of my blogroll... :)
Cheers,
-Amrita
UPDATE:-
Here's a tell-tale photo :)

hey i don't like the part where i got chatted about! regardless of what lova says i'm tall, dark, handsome, and a little dangerous.
have fun with the SM'ers! I have yet to meet a blogger in real life.
Good times indeed :). My mum and I still cannot believe the odds that your best friend already had tea at her place in Addis ! It really is a small world hey ? My mom only had good things to say about her :).
We need to do something about the lack of pictures.
Mosi - LOL! I'm sure you're as "dangerous" as Ginga. Come no over to NYC...before you fly away to Lusaka... :)
Lova - I knoww...such a freaky coincidence! Bourne Ultimatum for sure. And lets also get the UNFPA folks together for dinner before you all leave.. :)
Glad you had a great blogmeet! I just had one recently myself. Good times! ; )
