I'm sorry to say that I, too, have yet to meet anyone face to face. Southern California is too far in the middle of nowhere, it seems (oh, I know ... there are plenty of SoCal folks here). See, I don't travel much. Y'all are welcome to come to Irvine ... if not to see me, then to flirt with the 19-year-old Customer Service desk hotties!
