Here's my list. If you are not on it, it's because you haven't hit me up in an email. I order the list according to the ones I am most likely to meet for geographical reasons.

Laura: San Francisco women have a well-deserved reputation of being smart, sophisticated, beautiful, socially-conscious, maverick. Laura is way on top of that game. Luckily (for me, at least) I may soon get to meet her.

Mei-Ling rages in Oak Town (Oakland, CA) where she does her art (I have a THANG for artists) and sometimes snorts at my off-color jokes. Lives close enough that we could get together for a bowl of jiaozi, if only we could find a place that makes them with coconut flour :)

BakingBread formerly known as BaconBitch lives close enough in Sonoma County, so we could definitely meet up there and enjoy the fine wine and some of the most breathtaking California coastline.

SherpaMelissa was the first person I took a liking to on here. She is also on my list because she is Incredibly Hot in all of the photos she's posted here on PaleoHacks. Chicago isn't that far.

AKD We have the same politics and we like the same books. Born and raised in the South, I find New England more exotic than Mozambique. If it weren't for The Scarlet Letter, I would suspect you all of using some alternative form of reproductive strategy. I have been to Boston once though, so I'd like to come out there and check you out.

The Quilt Most of my family lives in Nashville, so I get down there from time to time. If ever your office manager tells you there's a crazy guy in the waiting room with a saliva cortisol test in hand and asking for "Dr Q", just know that would be me.

Tartare has that understated Mittel Europa charm going on. She also knows something about reindeer urine and that means a lot to me ;) Pretty hard to get to where she's at, but you never know.

Gone2Croat I like the sound of her circle of friends. Sound a little bit like a southern version of Warhol's factory. Would love to get drunk and fight with those folks.

Sage_: I have many wonderful associations with Toronto, even though I've never been there.

Uggla: Chilllllllllllllllllld, you can call yourself that name if you want, but I know that you are really Freja. That raven mane tosses in the wind as you hunt down game in some primeval Scandinavian forest. You are one of those pagans in Tarkovsky's Andrei Rublev You make sacrifices to gods whose names contain no vowels and use Lutherans as fodder for the pyre.

Patrik: He's the Grand Lama of the board. With one click of the delete button, he can send us all packing for Yahoo Answers. I don't know where he is, but his name doesn't have a "c" in it. Whenever I see the letter "k", I immediately think of Germany. You've got to admit that plosive phonemes are intimidating.

I'm still Bacon Bitch! Who da hellz is Baking Bread? Yeah, get on up here and we'll ogle the grass fed cows over some Russian River reds :) – baconbitch Jun 2 2011 at 18:19
In my post on "the Paleo Myth" you said that you would like to have your "lovely bread" sometimes, so I just extrapolated from there :) Give me an inch and I will take a mile....always!!!! – Thomas Seay Jun 2 2011 at 18:27
Yes! I didn't realize you put me in that list! Fantastic! Being new and all I had no idea anyone even knew who I was. It would be nice to meet you too. How about call me HEL instead she was way cooler than Freja in my opinion. Oh and I should explain Uggla means Owl in Swedish and I have a thing for Owls. But you do pretty much have me summed up ;) – Uggla Jun 2 2011 at 18:35
Are you related to Magnus Uggla? – Kamal Jun 2 2011 at 18:38

I'm experiencing something akin to star-struckedness. You noticed my snorts! I'm flattered! Uuugh. Jiaozi. Oh, the salivation. – Mei-ling Jun 3 2011 at 3:36

Everyone here seems to be really, really cool. A few peeps I've actually connected with make me wish this was a big ol' tribe, somewhere cool that had Manhattan squashed together with Bloomington, IN and with Maui...my dreamworld. That would be fun.

Some folks that stand out:

Stephen-Aegis - Super Knowledgeable, cool blog, looks like he'd be fun to lift weights with, and talk about Game of Thrones with.

My super-knowledge category: Travis Culp, Dexter, The Quilt(are you really in NY? I don't have a doctor! And I wouldn't mind living forever...), Jack Kronk

I would pick mushrooms and eat lots of raw meat with Tartare.

I would love to hang out with ben61820(fellow hardgainer) and MelissaHuntGatherLove(she holds the secret to meatshares and raw milk) here in the city. NYC rules!

Me and Becker seem to have a ton in common, musically, Indiana-ly, etc...He'd be cool to chill with, hike, and play some tunes.

Thomas Seay, I have a feeling you and I would get along, but argue alot. And you'd probably win, since I'm not super polished on my knowlegde of biomechanics.

Kamal and I would totally chill out and watch movies. Wayne's World maybe?

UncleLongHair, who wouldn't want to meet someone named UncleLongHair? Plus I like your politics, and I have long hair!

I'm not sure I'd want to MEET Personman, so much as maybe just OBSERVE him for a day.

Hope I'm not forgetting anyone! I feel like I'm at the Oscars!

---EDIT---
I want to meet Ron Rosedale and The Quilt. But moreso as a fly on the wall, just hearing what they have to say to each other. I don't treat patients or read articles about metabolism, so I'd rather be the one taking minutes. And I'd like to have Paul Jaminet there, so I can ask someone if I have questions (having met Paul, he seems like someone who could explain nutritional biochemistry to a toddler).

I'd like to meet everybody. There's a lot of clever people, and a lot of pretty girls.

PersonMan would be a hoot in real life. I like those that strive to make stupid jokes, like Thomas Seay and WCC Paul. And of course, I'd be willing to bet that sherpamelissa is pretty darn cool. But there's a ton of people whose posts I enjoy reading...Jae, gone2croatan, various med students and cooks, etc etc.

So many of you. I know I will forget someone, but here goes... (here goes?... that makes no sense, huh)

In no particular order:

familygrokumentarian: she always has intriguing things to say/ask. plus her 'lunchbox' pics on primalkitchen.com win more than Charlie Sheen.

Ben: I like his style. Seems level headed. And we've had some good exchanges.

gone2croatan: seems like a super cool chick that would be fun to hang with.

mari: because I think it's amazing that she knows so much at 15 yrs old. Adorable little smarty pants. I smile real big when I see her posts, even if I don't agree. lol.

Travis Culp: a major contributor to PH. His answers are often very succinct and well worded. He's not afraid to go against the grain a bit with ideas.

Todd: a fellow San Diegan. I seem to agree with Todd on most things. We are often on the same page I think.

Gilliebean: why would I not want to meet Gilliebean? That's a more appropriate question.

The Quilt: I bet this guy could roast my brain with info. I'm curious to see where things will end up with the Doc in the long run. Overall, I'm rooting for him at this current point in time.

PersonMan: Doc makes me think of PM so I had to list him next. Mostly because I've wondered if he created that account just to poke and prod with oddball questions and annoy us all. PM's been gone for a little while it seems. I'm kinda wondering now if I'm glad or I miss the adventure a little bit. Crazy.

sherpamelissa: been trackin with meliss the whole time. When I first got on PH, I think she had like 1,000 rep points. Plus she was one of the first people to make a nice comment about me when I was brand new to PH, and I liked that. Plus she knows all of what's good and what's not, but is never really afraid to 'bend the rules'.

Futureboy: I need to know what's gonna happen next and this guy is my ticket. Plus he has a 99+% upvote ratio. Takes a lot to be 99% positive.

WCC Paul: everybody likes WCC Paul. No argument here. Dude runs a nice website too.

texasleah: The best stash of GF beef eva! Immediately won me over. I would meet her and then in a sly way try to reach around her and grab her rump roast.... of grass-fed beef so I can try it. yah.

Thomas Seay: the most sarcastic guy on PH. sometimes a bit eloquant in delivery, sometimes brash. but always witty.

Kamal: I hate Kamal now because of the Dr K thread. Haha. I joke I joke. I kid I kid. Kamal is great. Plus he's the only one who has given me a nickname. Plus he has tricked many into thinking he is a pretty girl. No easy task for a guy to do.

MelissaHunterGatherLove: I just wanna meet her to so I can meet CMast. haha. just playin. Melissa has been strangley a bit absent lately. Maybe she is hunting and gathering with Chris. Anyways... huge contributor to PH.

akd: because I like her new pic.

tartare: some of the best posts on PH. I like running across tartare's name when I'm pokin around on the site.

Travis McBride: This guy is always encouraging me, cheering me on when I go off on one of my rants. lol.

Jules: How could I not meet the queen of the stoneages? Besides, she has a cool lunchbox pics dealio too, like famgrok.

Ok I'll stop there. I could continue, but I think this is enough for now. If I didn't mention you here, it doesn't mean I don't want to meet you, but it might! lol.

I'd like to meet Kamal because he's a trip, Sherpamelissa because she's always so gracious and helpful, and Jack Kronk & PersonMan! This thread reminds me, I have opened a Facebook group to facilitate a Paleohackers meetup on Ancestral Health Symposium weekend! https://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Ancestral-Health-Symposium-Meetup/117297748347354

I just 'liked' your group! – Uggla Jun 2 2011 at 18:52
Great, thanks! :) – Jules K Jun 2 2011 at 18:57

I agree with Kamal, I would like to meet everybody...but the posters who "speak" the most to me, or just make me laugh are:

Jack Kronk and Stabby of course! SherpaMelissa is my evil twin sometimes, Jae, Eva, Rob Sacks, Ben61820, Kamal, Travis Culp, Stephen-Aegis, Melissa, Paul J and without a doubt PersonMan and Anonymous Coward.

Rob Sacks (now RobS paleohacks.com/users/2265/robs) hasn't been on here much recently, which is a shame. I thought he gave lots of great answers. – Paul Jun 2 2011 at 21:01

I would really like to meet everyone on here - and so many for such different reasons - infact I think I would like to have a chat with everyone (especially the Canadians on here if for no other reason than to ask about good food sourcing in the great white north)!

Stephen-Aegis I love the way he imparts his knowledge - very thorough and easy to understand without judgement as well.

Familygrokumentarian she's a real inspiration to me - meal planning for a family is not an asy task - and she's so great at it

akd i would love to sit with and have a bottle of wine and a good chat about so many things

The Food Lovers I freaking love their blog - and would like to see them in action

PersonMan I think I want to go and visit his shipping crate in Surrey - I think I just might do it - it's only a ferry ride away!

Janssushibar love her blog too!

I love The Food Lovers too! For some reason they always bring to mind Dirty Dancing. Maybe the (tenuous) connection is shared passions...food, dancing, etc. – Kamal Jun 2 2011 at 19:14
aww, yeah! we would have fun together! – being Jun 2 2011 at 19:16

I want to meet PersonMan just to verify that he's real! – Ben Jun 2 2011 at 19:34

Shucks! Next time you're in my neck of the woods let's take our families berry picking or BBQ and sip New Grist gluten free beers. :-) Hit me up with an email at primalkitchen @ gmail dot com. – familygrokumentarian Jun 3 2011 at 0:49

Well I am new here so I don't know many of you yet.

akd: Because she seems like someone I could get along with.

ben61820: Because he has helped me on nearly all my posts here.

Bristlebeard: Because he was also very helpful.

Thomas Seay: Of course, because he's nice and funny.

I guess I look forward to getting to know them and the rest of you better. I'd like to know the whole lot of ya!

Uggla, it's funny that I have this strong sense-right or wrong-about you based on some of the things you have written. I have this chain of associations. Whenever you post up here, I think about this video: youtube.com/watch?v=SgXlUxDGFvU I could imagine you doing something similar, but singing in Old Norse! – Thomas Seay Jun 2 2011 at 19:13

Your questions were well phrased and seemed like they were coming from a real honest place so I enjoy responding. – ben61820 Jun 2 2011 at 21:22

I think it would be really cool to meet everyone together. I think that the interaction and contributions from everyone here is what makes this site so interesting

If I had to choose one person though, I'd meet Stabby. Not only is he brilliant, he's funny too. He had a hilarious post over at MDA about bashing someone with a sheleighly. I literally laughed out loud. I also remember him saying something about re-purposing a colander as a fancy hat. But he is just ridiculously smart and I always make sure to read his answers.

Well, it takes place mostly in Svolvaer, but includes places like Bodo, Narvik, Trondheim and Oslo...and Stockholm (Uggla, are you reading?) There isn't room for me to write all of it here, so if you email me (look in my profile), I will tell you the story. – Thomas Seay Jun 2 2011 at 19:41

Dr. K (where did he go... or is he now going by TheQuilt?)

I'm also curious to when his blog goes live.

his blog is live at jackkruse.com – No more. Jun 3 2011 at 1:51
