Generally around the old BW progamers, I get so nervous I don't even end up talking to them X.X. There have been so many events where I was too scared to say hi to NaDa. Probably took me 10+ events before I walked up and said hi! :D

At the end of one of the evenings at MLG Columbus, Day[9] and djWheat came out and I got pictures with them and got to talk with them

Also got pictures with Tasteless and Artosis the next morning (profile picture with Artosis and me, sporting their Micro/ Macro shirt)... and most of EG and some other favorite players (Naniwa, Thorzain, TLO, Ret, etc.).

And as I was going back to my room, I ended up riding the elevator with MMA, Losira, July, and MC. Got pictures with them too and shook their hands. It was the only time I wish I had gotten stuck in an elevator. Probably should have pressed the emergency stop button.

Oh yeah, and my room was directly across the hall from my favorite team... Root. (R.I.P. Root.) Got pics with Drewbie, Catz, Kiwikaki, and Slush too

On my way to the GOMtv Studio on tuesday, me and my friends ran into Tasteless (who were chatting up two korean girls, ofc) outside Pizza School. Asked if he knew where the studio was to which he replied: "Yeah, actually I just so happen to do" and smiled.
He told us the way and we all shook his hand, he seems so nice

I dont know if this counts, but back in beta KawaiiRice had a popular stream, which I watched a lot. I became freinds with a few of his mods, and got to play a few games vs Kawaii, during one of these I get a message saying the streams wants me to go mothership, so i switch into stargate and do it, then get owned by hydra because i had no units (he was off raceing because i was terrible). Also I once got told to kill myslef by someone on his skype call.

One time when Stephano was streaming he brought up his chat and you could see my name on the chat on his screen. Proudest moment of my entire life even though it means nothing to anyone besides me

HuK replied to a tweet of mine kinda recently, Turned a shitty day into a great one at work (for any pros reading this, things like that while time consuming as a mo' fuggah, really, REALLY make your fans' day/week/month.).

Hoping to meet a bunch of people at providence tomorrow. Destiny/Losira are my goals for the QIM meet and greet. 'Course I'm one of those nerds who gets freaked out talking to people, so I'll be content getting a shirt.

I live in the same city as the the Plott brothers grew up in and I'm chatting with a guy from around here who drank with Rekrul on a few occasions in Korea.

At MLG Dallas 2010 I was scheduled to play a match with TLO. Too bad I was also participating in the Super Smash Bros Brawl tournament (not advisable to play in two tournaments). My friend came and told me they were calling me, when I got there I had been disqualified. I saw that TLO was int he player area, which they wouldn't let me in, on facebook. So I messaged him on facebook from my iPhone hoping he would see it. He probably just ignored it, so I yelled out Dario! He came over, and I said I was supposed to play you, anyway we could play it out anyways? He asked the ref, and the ref said okay, and they were calling the next matches. Tyler came around and asked TLO for the keyboard, and I was denied my rematch. I've always wanted to play him since. Talked to him in his chat on stream when he was responding to ensure he saw it to try and set it up, sent him a polite message on Teamliquid. Always been ignored

Changed my image of TLO forever really, he just kinda ignores me all around, I got upset at first, but he's just really busy so I forgive him now!

At MLG Anaheim 2011 I got to play against Tristan, Day[9]'s friend. The first match I was so overwhelmed, mind-gaming myself out that I just played like I was in bronze. The next game I counterpicked Xel'naga and I had prepared a strategy for Xel'naga ZvP over the week. I had trouble in ZvP and I felt that if I came up witha specific strategy for one map, I could probably swing the set back in my favor no matter what. I roach ling all'ined a little modified from what is normal, so it hides what it is at a specific time. It works great against 3 gate expand. He 3 gate expanded, and built a forge instantly after nexus, so it was even STRONGER what I was doing. Long story short I made horrible decisions with my unit control, and I forgot to put the drones back on gas after the initial round of lings to continue making roaches with all my gas, and drones with the last of the minerals to transition into the mid-game somewhat. The point of the build is to force the nexus down, and head into the mid game with 2 bases vs 1 with a decent amount of drones and lots of units. I had control problems, and instead of requesting a pause and fixing my mouse, I played through it and got more frustrated, and just crumbled. I at one time killed all his sentries, could have destoyed his nexus but kept running into his mineral line, and went into his base. I had him, I so had him, and I just made horrible decisions. After that I could barely play, and still havent' full recovered, I am still mad at myself after all this time for playing so bad. Almost took a game off of him. I was so mad about losing the way I did, I held my head down and wanted to cry about it. I then said good game and shook his hand, and he looked shooken up because of my reaction to losing I think.

Before that I had played VPSyckness (on CheckSix now) (ZvZ) and he was a super nice guy. Had a somewhat weird first game where I was poised to make a comeback, but made some crucial mistakes, got a sick fungal off that got like the maximum amount of roaches perma-fungaled in range of 4 spines with no other units left. The next game was on metalopolis and we spawned close air. I made my gas geyser first, and made my pool barely before him, with this in mind I was going to go ling baneling attack mirroring his expansion timing into roaches. Since I was only slightly behind economically, a trivial amount due to copying him to that point, I would have been fine going into roaches. I sent my ling baneling attack out, droning behind it and building a roach warren almost finished. My banelings finished morphing when his just started. I botched sending them to the mains mineral line properly and didn't do enough damage only got like 6-8 drones, but it still put me ahead. I lost most my lings instead of running them back. I had forgotten to make roaches behind that, so when he attacked I didn't have the necessary defenses to hold off the semi-allinish counter attack. I say semi-allinish since I was ahead in drones at that point and he made a round of lings to counter attack instead of redroning. I felt really bad, since I knew my strategies were inches ahead of him in timing, my execution of the build was great, just my control and forgetting to build roaches had me lose.
