Would you go to a MyLot party?

If there was some possible way for us all to get together to have a party or some place we could all meet and greet in person, would you go?
I know us MyLotters are scattered all over the world but let's just pretend that we have teleporters or something to get there.
I think I would like to. I have some MyLotters I'd like to see in person. I think it would be fun.
What do you think?

Will you travel all the way from your place to some place where some of us Indians can meet? I tried that sometime back, but it flopped because no one except me seemed genuinely interested. Almost everyone cited some excuse or the other.

@VivaLaDani13 Yikes! Am I being that predictable? I should work on changing that.
I would love to meet you too. Although you would start to wonder about my sanity soon enough!
What good things? Throughout my life the very first word I am described as is "crazy". I ain't kidding either. Not in a bad way of course! So, did you do that too?
P. S. Hope you had a good time with Sara.

Why not? And maybe we should wear T-shirts with our username and avatar printed on it

Yes, it could be fun to meet other mylotters. Hope one day you will take the initiative to arrange a party for all of us and you will also send to and fro air tickets to all of us to join us at the party.

I know for sure there was a group of Filipinos (sorry mates if I spelt that wrong) who used to meet every year. Many in that group were and are my friends here. I had even requested them a Skype conference sometime so that I could virtually join in.
They always had some souvenirs with MyLot inscribed on them.
Here in India, I really tried staying in touch with the few Indians I have been friends with but somewhere, we Indians seem to be more busy for things like these than the rest of the world.
Now that I have some new friends from India here, I might re-attempt that.
On another note, if I can ever - I would love to meet mylotters from all across the globe.

@VivaLaDani13 Yes it should be a fun experience. But at times, things can be out of nowhere too (and I will call it as the surprise element) - because I feel, as we interact here regularly, we all sort of have a pseudo image of the MyLotter we are interacting with (in our mind) and in reality that might be just not what the real person is.
I say this mostly for MyLotters who do not have their real image on their Avatar and also do not have much on their Profile. So we do not know how they look like - but as we interact, we do frame an image.

@thesids Yeah I know what you mean. I actually always have a little look through any MyLotter who communicates with me so I can try to learn about them. Much easier to have conversations with people when you know a bit about them I think.

I'm sorry about your other friends. I know it can be hard sometimes to try and catch up with people and it doesn't always work out.
I hope one day you can meet some MyLotters. Would be a fun experience.

There are a lot of friends at myLot that I would like to meet. In the past I went to an IRC channel party where I met a lot of people in real life that I knew only by their user name. I keep a very good memory of it, and I am ready for a myLot party.

I have long proposed that myLotters should have signature myLot paraphernelia to identify us as myLotters. Like a scarf or ring or T shirt or cap ...visible thing and on the day myLot became operational, we could all in different cities meet up...have pictures and some sort of celebration, and if need be do some good as myLotters...that would be one up on facebook. We need to be different from facebookers, and that is one way to go about it.

I would definitely love to go to a myLot party! There are so many people scattered around the world on this site that I would just love to meet in person, including you! It would be so much fun! Yeah, I'd be a little nervous at first, but I bet that within minutes we'd all be laughing and joking and having a great time with each other!

Sure, we could organize it on the Isle of Words, intricately juxtaposed of the best literary works ever, and get drunk on beautiful words.
(If teleporters exist, so does this.)
