I read this in the caravan forum and thought I would share an experience that I thought was funny as hell during DCX, for those whom are new to meeting DC ppl :)
During the SoCal Caravan major meet up junction at the In and Out (we basically wait for the other caravans to meet up and then go to vegas from there)... During the caravan startup at Ontario no one really mingled, and everyone just stayed by their cars got the frs freq handout and the caravan sticker... Boogah tested the radio making sure it was all good for the ride... no real chance to say hi and chat or whatever... the next point where everyone got out and actually mingled was at in and out. I met up with a few people I knew and we chatted and ran into a few more in line for food, and it was a good experience... then went outside for a breath of air and a smoke <cloves>, there I met KeLviN and petr0l (you always see them in pairs), and that was interesting in itself... then someone else came out(hratch) and lit a cig, we were chatting, and then out of the blue he asked who everyone's nick was, we all took turns and i said I was me, and he said BLACKWAVE?!.. and I jumped back about 10 feet because I saw his hand move towards me ... I thought he was going to punch at me... but he was really intending to shake my hand.. LOL!.. so we all laughed he then said he was hratch (which we had chatted before online)... and that is pretty much how meeting people you have not really seen and met before but have developed some type of relationship online with ... it could be weird especially if you know you aren't making as many friends and enemies... but who has enemies at defcon?!!?! :D :)
My advice to you, do not make sudden moves, don't reach into anywhere before telling someone something... and all should be well :)
