Just do something really ridiculous the first time you meet them to make it less awkward. When I found Shax's campsite at Coachella I snuck up and stole his hat. I was really lucky I guessed right and it was actually him. When I found wonk the second time I just sat down right next to him and waited for him to recognize me. I also did something weird when I found Fox, Pea and crew, but I can't remember what it was.

Also, I'm still opting for a stage meet up since I'm not staying in the Gorge campground. |

Am I the only person that thrives on awkward situations? I literally create awkwardness in my day to day life to combat boredom.

I really think you guys are over thinking this. Everyone will be immediately hugged, loved and have their hands holding Welcome Beers before they even know what hit 'em.

This.
The only reason I would be nervous would be bacause there's a good chance my girlfriend will be there and she sometimes gets nervous in certain situations so I would feel some sort of 'contact nervous' for her.

I still don't know how to explain to my real life friends that I'm going to see my "internet friends". I kind of brush over how I know all of you.
My worlds started colliding at Coachella though with KY camping with us. Haha, I think we just said "sasquatch" when both of our friend groups asked how we knew each other....that was the only awkward part.
But yeah, don't be nervous. Everyone is great.

Peripheral friends pose a problem sometimes. My buddy Kyle was really drunk when I met people at Bassnectar and he was like "Hey! Internet friends!" and someone asked him what his username was and he said "shitballs43" or something like that. It was funny and he doesn't remember it.
But the bigger issue is balancing time between the people you're going with and internet friends.

I think you're confusing Weenie with 'Nater. TRES GAUCHE. 'Nater was voted "Most Likely to Drop a Barf On Someone" in her high school yearbook.

There's your answer. The people you're going with are just exactly that, people you're going with. While internet friends are your FRIENDS!!!!!!!!!

OOPS, I wasn't supposed to let on that in addition to having access to everyone's email address and stuff, as a mod I also received full scans of each of your high school yearbooks. Guess the cats out of the bag.

I'm a next-day puker. I hold down my booze. Puking is wasteful.
I'm more likely to take a shit on someones chest because I think its funny. /weirdo

Watch out for my girlfriend. On our third date she puked on my face while we were making out. 4 years later we are still going strong.
