I've met loads at shows. Back in the early days I had people like Dugmor asking if I posted on GFY and reccomending I join ! Met loads at the USA shows and at other events like Steve Lightspeeds ''World Tour' when he booked the Hard Rock at Universal City Walk for a meet up
Bumped into a few more in Amsterdam in 07 and then met even more (Recognisable names) at the Xbiz London event in 2011...
There used to be UK B&B Meet ups for the UK crew, but they have stopped now. Fun while they lasted though
Bottom line is if you dont go to shows, go to one for sure. Even if people you meet are not 'Known Posters' at GFY they will prob have an account here
Enjoy !
