[@Eviledd1984] North America is still a pretty big place.  I have rp buddies I've known for fifteen years that are american like me, that I've never met because we live SO FAR APART.  Emma's not likely to go to a meetup unless it's in her general area.  She runs a dance studio and that's a full-time job.

That said, I'm not adverse to in-person interaction.  I just don't know how the logistics will play out.
