     Yep, Paul stopped by my place during Operation: Arsedeath too.
http://www.dvandom.com/drawings/paul.html has a couple pics I took while he
was over.  He was jealous of my mastery of Goon Show voices.  :) I took him
to a nearby hotel, though, since my apartment in Columbus was 8x14 feet and
even if my lease had allowed overnight guests it would have been a tight fit.

     More like "bee" than "pea", although it's one of those cases where the
consonant isn't exactly mapped into English.  He stopped by when I was at
Michigan State for a conference, arriving a day early so we could hang out.

     Rob Rogers once showed up at my door in Columbus, to my surprise.  And
Tori Fike came to a New Year's Eve party a fellow RAC-inhabiting Ohio State
grad threw one year, so I got to meet her.  Of course, Mark Friedman was an
OSU person too, and he was in my gaming group.  I think that's it for LNHers
I've met in person, though.  Then again, it's almost 1 AM and my brain's a
little hazy.

     Dave Van Domelen, never actually met Mike Friedman, oddly.
