Now you're just rubbing it inThe DIS meets are intimate enough that you have a pretty good amount of time to talk to each other generally. If not during the actual scheduled events, definitely after hours. At New England, for example, after the Saturday night program ended, about a dozen of us stayed in the conference room sitting around with John and Kevin for probably an hour just chatting. Kevin told a few stories, as did others. We talked about all kinds of topics, both Disney-related and not.
At other recent meets (Hershey, NJ, Richmond) both Friday and Saturday nights involved just chilling at the hotel lobby bar for a couple of hours with a small group, maybe 20 people including the podcasters.
And if you happen to sit with someone at your table for lunch or dinner, then it's just 8 or 10 of you chatting during the meal.
I went to the Richmond meet by myself because my wife had a schedule conflict. So I get there about 8:30pm, the meet and greet event having started 2 hours earlier with dinner. I didn't know a soul in the room except the podcast team. There was an open seat at their table so I took it and proceeded to spend the next 2-3 hours just chatting with Pete, Dustin, JeniLynn, Teresa, and a couple of others who were sitting there. It was awesome.



But seriously, that's very cool.
