Have you made any long-lasting IRL friendships through the Shroomery?

So far I've met one Shroomerite who I've hung with a few times (awakendone) and I honestly consider the guy a brother to me. Very chill, vibrant, energetic, hilarious guy. His music collection is astronoooooomical, and he's like a health guru! Every time I'm there it's the healthiest, most awesome weekend I can fathom; fasting, vegetable juicing, epically heroic doses of Shrooms, sick movies, etc. He is one damn interesting character.
Apart from that I talk to good handful of Shroomerites on AIM, one I consider a sister (Ballerium). I still haven't been to any gatherings yet but I definitely look forward to meeting more. I'm very grateful to this community for having fucking awesome members and it goes without sayting we need to fucking throw funds together, rent ourselves an island and have a gigantic off-shore country called Shroomerysia and all relocate there, where it is required by law for all its denizens to lemon tek an oz the first of every month. 
How about you guys? Made any really good friends on account of this website?

Nope, I am to anti social, or maybe just awkward. Maybe that will change next month at a gathering... if I go.
I do have an IRL friend on here that I have known for around 15 years though.

I met Cepheus last year and thanks to him I probed receptor space quite a lot 
Honestly I've had a great time with him. He planted a DMT surprise in a hash pipe and I was all like Its friggin awesome to get fucked up and talk about science and all sorts of stuff that no one else wants to talk about. I dont have any like-minded friends apart from my gf so its fucking boring during term time where I have to socialize with uni tards.

I'd love to meet people, but I don't think there are many people around vancouver area, or at least, I haven't met them yet. I'm a pretty "social" person in that once i meet and talk to someone, I'm down to be friends with them. I won't just open up to anyone but once I'm friendly that's all it takes.

I've met probably 150+ Shroomerites over the years. I still talk to at least 10-20 of them on at least a monthly basis outside of the Shroomery, if not a several times a week. Have also been to many parties with Shroomery members and their RL friends.
Shroomery is full of some cool ass people. Also full of some weird ass people.

I've met a handful, one dude was pretty sketchy trying to get me to more or less put together a huge mush grow for him when I had just met him and barely knew the dude at all but the rest have been really quite chill - I've had a couple good jams with shroomerites

Nope never met one, although plan on it eventually.
I've spent years here learning, experimenting, growing, trading jokes and etc. I don't see meeting many of the regular faces being all that awkward, I'd look into the poster before I just meet up with them lol. Not meeting up with the crazies on here though that's for sure.

I think thats exactly what went on when shroomery had those two SoCal gatherings not to long ago, lots of drums and instruments. I wish there were shroomerites living around me but I think im pretty much the only SK hick on this site.

If there is a NYC gathering and it's somewhere with an outlet, I'd bring up my DJ Keyboard and put on a nice show for you guys.
i.e. melt psychedelic-filled minds with insisted and archaic sounds :soundstrippyman:
Anything from ambient to trip-hop to trance to techno to psychedelic neo-classical.

Me and effed were friends when we were younger. I've developed some aim buddies, particularly the ghost.
I kind of don't make/keep friends easily, i would say i've developed pen pals and got to meet some really cool people.

Usually the NYC gatherings are in Prospect Park then we go out drinking or to a show afterwards. Perhaps something new will arise this summer though

I've met about 200-300 shroomerites, I'd consider 98% of them cool as fuck. A small handful of them I would consider as very close IRL friends. Adamist and thePatient in particular, I would consider my soul brethren here. We've known each other for 10+ years.. traveled together, lived together, been to countless shows, spun out of our minds together.. ups and downs and all-arounds I you guys, come out to cali sometime
There's quite a few more people on here I've been talking to and sharing with for a long time, that we may not really be super close IRL friends or anything....(I'm an anti-social fuckbag) ... maybe we only met once or twice, but whom I would still consider a good friend. You guys all know you are. So many kindred spirits
 Shroomery 4 lyfe!
Ingo! We've been bros since like '99. We must finally meet in the flesh sometime

yeah I definitely plan to make it to Europe sometime in the future, maybe in the next year or two.. if civilization still exits, for sure. I have to visit my homeland (italy). But the misses and I want to travel all over, sure would be nice to be rich.

I've met my fair share of shroomerites and there have been a fair amount of lasting relationships because of it. I'll never forget when my best friend and I flew out to Vegas, chilled a few nights in the city then headed out to the mountains to camp out with them. It was like nothing else. Extremely hospitable people, great conversation, hell we even sang "Miss American Pie" while two shroomerites played it on acoustic guitars on top of a mountain 8,000ft above sea level, around a roaring campfire. Then the next day that shroomerite fell off of his chair and put a nice hole in that same 12 string guitar, and to repair it he slapped a big sticker over it.
