carinab Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 Had the fortune of shooting a local steel match today and meeting Twix. He was down in the DFW area for business and decided to shoot. Cooler still, he ended up on my squad. He was readily identifiable as a Benoverse member because of his spiffy BE shirt. It's funny to meet someone you've been talking with online. Kinda' like meeting a radio dj you've listened to. The person rarley looks like the picture in your mind's eye. I'm looking forward to meeting more BE'rs...course it'd be easier if some of y'all would sign up on squad 22 for Area 3....not that I'm nagging....

DJPoLo Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 (edited) Yeah, this is always cool. I met MikeyG23 this weekend in Waco. He came up to me and said, "You're DJPoLo, right?". It was neat. I don't know how he knew it was me, I was all incognito and stuff. -Chet *Note: Edited to fix name. Edited April 18, 2005 by DJPoLo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diehli Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 Yeah, this is always cool.I met Mike4045 this weekend in Waco. He came up to me and said, "You're DJPoLo, right?". It was neat. I don't know how he knew it was me, I was all incognito and stuff. -Chet <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He could probably see his reflection in your dome. It's funny how many people are on BE and from/in/around SoCal. Every couple of matches someone will notice my real name and say "you're 300lbGorilla, aren't you?" Fun stuff. Then there's today: warpspeed brought his daughter along and in introducing her to me he told her that I'm the blinking eye. Say high to Zoey for me, Ward. BTW, I'm pretty sure I shot with 3 other BE'ers today... that's just on my squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Heiter Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 I just don't get it though. The eye? I mean if I had a cool nick like 300lbgorilla I'd have to have a better avatar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyG23 Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Sorry DJ that was me.... It's always good to put a face to a name. And you were incognito until I saw the Area 4 DVD's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJPoLo Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 I mean if I had a cool nick like 300lbgorilla I'd have to have a better avatar. I really like 300's avatar (plus, it freaks my wife out). -Chet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3quartertime Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Cool!!! From what I understand with his new gig Twix could be a real BE.com domestic ambassador!!! Hope he takes a sec and says HI TO ALL for the Hoosier delegation... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 I've said it before... When the forum was first starting, I was bummed when I heard that other forum members were getting to shoot matches together. I didn't know any forum member within a few hundred miles. Sunday, I got to shoot with a squad full of forum members...representing 4 states. This was a local match. Awesome. THANKS BRIAN!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
short_round Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 It was great to see ong45 and (yes even our own prodigal son) erik warren at the match this weekend. Ong45 is fast a greased lighting and watching him shoot is like seeing someone exist in a totally different time zone. Erik is like grape soda. You're not sure why you like it, but it's good. Hopefully they can make it out more as the weather clears up over the pass and we can reciprocate. It's definitely better when they are around. As far as SoCal goes, Cullen you're going to have to tell me the insider's shooting schedule. I want to come down and shoot with ya'll this summer. Are you going to The Silver Buckle?

twix Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 The pleasure of meeting CarinaB was all mine, she just beat me to the post. Alot like she did at the match. CB is a very cool lady and I look forward to the next time we shoot together. Ain't this Beonsverse great? Thanks Brian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhunter Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Thought it might be a good idea to post this link here for the masses! How about a BE Forum Shoot! This was we could get in an extra match and al get to shoot together! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reneet Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 I shot the BAPS match while I was down in Houston for the NRA Convention and found out on the next to last stage that I was shooting with forum member NEWBIE. Had a great time. Nice to meet you Frank. The stage names were hilarious. All named for Lee D. Run Lee Run Not named for Lee Lee D. is my Hero Lee Shoots a shorty Lee Drives a short Bus Looking forward to putting more faces with BENOVERSE user names at Space City. I'll hang my badge on my range bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Di Vita Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Instead of Lee Drive a short Bus it should be Lee Rides in a Short Bus. Love ya bro! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to come down and shoot with ya'll this summer. Are you going to The Silver Buckle?Cheers, Alvin <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, we have matches at Norco every Saturday, Prado every third Sunday, and Gopher Flats (where the Infinity was) every fourth Sunday. I hadn't thought about the Silver Buckle, but yes, I think I will go. In fact, I'm gonna register tomorrow. Yuma's this weekend. Should be fun having a minor major every month for the next 4 months (if I can make LdF and the GBC). Linea del Fuego is happening at the end of July in San Diego... 400+ rounds, 8 stages AFA the summer goes, I may or may not be in SoCal after June... we shall see.
