cut out the middleman

[cellio]

kayre had a good idea (which she in turn got from city_of_dis). My LJ friends come from a number of different and sometimes-intersecting circles. There are my local (and formerly-local) friends, the SCA folks, the filkers, the Jewish community, and several others. Many of you don't know each other but perhaps you should.

So this is your chance. If you feel inclined, say something about yourself here -- not addressed to me, but to the other readers of my journal who might turn out to be friends you didn't know you have.

I know cellio through the SCA. Best recollection says that we probably met through the Rialto -- I've definitely known her husband through the Rialto from its very earliest days, when he and I were two of the three most prolific posters on it. Anyway, since then she and I got to know each other better through SCA dance/music and philosophy/politics circles; we wind up overlapping quite frequently, since we have a number of similar interests.

(Speaking of which: an SCAish friend of mine, umbran, has just started as the spec writer at my company. He's new to technical documentation, so I was wondering if you had any particular advice on the subject.)

I did not meet her through Harold Feld. However, to demonstrate what a nexus Harold is, I've known him possibly longer than anyone else here, since he was active in the SCA up in these parts when he was much younger.

As for who I am: Justin du Coeur, collector of weird hobbies. I do SCA, LARP, fandom, Freemasonry, and more varieties of media than are sensible or sane...

I believe we met through the Rialto, yes (back when it was a mailing list, pre-newsgroup).

Sure. But not tonight. :-) Look for a top-level entry in the next couple of days.
