My Mood: Rep Power: 21  | It does not always have to be a big meeting Hi all,
At9 popped over this afternoon to my house to meet each other and for a chat. We chatted for about an hour or so and found we had some things in common. It was a great opportunity to meet another member from the site, a small chat about heels, and even a quick 'trying on' session, at9 even went away with some of my old junk that he was going to find useful.
So, if the mega heel meets are not for you or not close, then let this be a reminder that you too can arrange a meeting over a coffee (or apple juice). if you see somebody who lives close to you, drop them a PM, there are a lot of good folk out there.
at9, thanks for going out of your way to catch up with me today, I (we the whole family) really enjoyed it and hope to see you again at another meet sometime in the future.
Thanks again.
Nigel

My Mood: Rep Power: 24  | Re: It does not always have to be a big meeting Just wondering how we find out where people are as most have very vague areas listed, like UK or USA which doesn't narrow it down much.

Look for this as you read their postings. Then you can use the PM system here at HHplace for personal contacts to set up meetings.
A lot of us are still trying to "get our heads" around this heel thing and are a little squeamish about going public with it, so we like to keep our whereabouts a little nebulous.

Instead of criticizing those who invest their personal time and energy to organize a large meet, you took charge of your own heel meet agenda and initiated a small meet of your own. Bravo!
This reminds me of:
In each case, few people were present and the quality and depth of the interaction flourished.

My Mood: Rep Power: 21  | Re: It does not always have to be a big meeting It is great to have a few friend where nothing is hidden, having them round for a pizza and a chat is great. I hope some of you may well update your profile to give a better location.
The big heel meets are great too, I have been to a big one and quite a few smaller ones. All of them have their place and do their Job, I think it is worthwhile thanking the guys that organise the big ones as they take a huge amount of time up.
Lets keep things real, cyberspace is great, but its so much better to put a face to name.
