Seriously though.. Why would you want to meet these people?
As if anyone in your 'writers I would love to meet' would give a fuck.
Most of the hardest writers are social misfits anyway, hence the fact they spend so much time doing this shit.
I think its great that I can go to almost any country in the world, armed with an email address or a phone number and a few tins of paint, rock a train or 2 and make a few new friends. Thats cool, but seeking people out to give them a high 5 or somthing is not what im into at all!
