This all reminds me of a bar I ended up in a long time ago. I think it was around 1998-1999. I talked to this girl online for a bit and went to meet up with her. I picked her up from her house and took her to this bar she said is fun. We get to the bar, all her friends welcome her and she begins to introduce me. I kid you not, everyone was introduced by their screen name, and not their real name, like it was some hackers bar. In reality it was apparently all the regulars to one particular chat room and that's how they new each other.
