Thanks! I will most definitely check out your post. Glad we are both Chris Brogan nerds but you ended up lucky enough to hang out with him. Thanks for reading!

I ended up here after reading Anne's recent post about nerd alerts (I guess she got the idea from you). I guess you and I have a lot in common because I too wanted to meet Chris Brogan as well. I got just plain dump lucky and ended up sitting with him for almost an hour at AJ Bombers with Joe, Tracey Apps and Katie Feleton. He was very real and it was amazing. I wrote about it over on JimRaffel.com if you have not seen it yet.

Nice to meet you.

"Celebrities just don’t do it for me like authors do."

I'm so the same way. Jon Stewart and Ellen DeGeneres are my exceptions because I think they're brilliantly smart and I'd kill to meet them.

Other signifiers of my nerd alert? Being able to hack my own code on my blog... seeing social media used for charity, support, and connections... ha.

Hi Megan! What time will you be there? I may drop by -- it would be great to see you! If you have a chance, you should mention to Joe that you'd like to do a Water Buffalo tasting - you'd be perfect for it. He dines with you at the table and recommends dishes and you tweet about how delicious they are. :)

You thrill seeker- you! I think that is exactly what it says- you go for the impossible. And you achieve it (hello miss couch/party animal to marathon runner in less than a year). I think I almost go into NERD ALERT panic mode when I see Bananza! It's like a Milwaukee celebrity! Seriously. Look forward to seeing you soon.

THanks for the comment! I actually didn't know what Joe from AJBombers looked like either- I know what Mike looks like- he is cute. Mike (my husband) and I will be there tomorrow night for happy hour- hope to see you! If you are there every friday?!?!

It was cool to see the video Chris interacting with Joe Sorge of AJ Bombers! Admittedly I did not know who he was until the other day. I have never brushed elbows with a celebrity. (The closest I've come is tweeting with local news anchor Susan Kim!) But I am positive that I would go all NERD ALERT to meet someone like Les Stroud, the Survivorman, or anyone who has climbed Mt Everest or something equally amazing. Not sure what that says about my passion -- perhaps I'm a thrill-seeker?
