My sisters blind date

If you get a chance, go check out my sister at forksandchopsticks, because she went on a trip to the Philadelphia zoo to meet two women blog friends. I thought it was great that they all hit it off and it looks like my niece who is 4, got herself a boyfriend. I wish I could meet my blog friends, but what is the chance that any of them live near me? I did meet up with a group of women from the ivillage Hawaii message board, that I had chatted with a year before actually coming here, and they were all just as nice in person, if not nicer, then they were on line. It was so much fun to try to put names to the faces. I was sometimes able to just by their own descriptions, but now with blogs having pictures on them, it would be much easier. Have any of you met any blog friends? I know some people know each other from their families or neighborhoods who have blogs, but I was wondering if any other bloggers have had these kind of get togethers. This just sounds like a whole lot of fun.
