Oh, I too have done that swampwater., lopping off about a foot six months ago. When I auditioned for Peart Harbor's band, she asked me if I was willing to cut my mop, which I had anticipated. She's from the Punk/Rockabilly world (and was married to Clash bassist Paul Simonon, one of the worst bass players in the entire history of R & R. But he looked good ;-), and they don't cotton to hippies. I'm actually a greaser at heart, so that was no problem. Portland Oregon is teeming with old hippies, so now I fit right in, though I myself am not one, I just look like one. Biker's aren't hippies either! Remember when Steve Earle looked like a biker? Still kinda does, just a lot older.
I met Chashas1 when I bought a Primaluna Prologue 5.Super nice and great to talk to.We BS'd about gear and bands in the parking lot of The Hen House fine dining.The Amp looked brand new and had all original packaging.So if you see he has something for sale you can buy with confidence.
I've met a whole lot of Audiogoners, many of which became good friends.  Most do not take part in the threads, but a few who do:
As Michael (Swampwalker) mentioned, we met.  Obvious from his long time Audiogon participation, he's an absolutely stellar guy!

Also, off the top of my head: The Doctor (Mechans), Michael (Sufentanil), Bill Feil (AudioFeil), Spencer (Sbank), Bobby Palkovic, Vinh Vu (vtvu), John McGrogan, Duke (AudioKinesis), Bob Fogel (Rfogel),  Marius Stark (Mjstrrk), Tom (Tcrnetsmn), Dave Garretson, Russ Prince (rcprince), Johnny Rutan, Paul Folbrecht, Norm (Tbg), Albert Porter, and there are others...

Would love to meet folks like David (Dekay), Will (TubeGroover), Mapman, Brian (EssentialAudio), Denis (Springbok10), Unsound, Grannyring, Roxy54, LouSetTiodes, Saki70, Dlcockrum, Bigkidz, Islandmandan, and many more who no longer who hang around here.
bdp- since we are brothers in hair as well as musical tastes, I guess I should point out that I'm SwampwaLKer, not SwampwaTer.  I'm a wetland scientist, I walk around in swamps.  Just sayin'...
I met one guy on PS Audio's site, now consider him one of my closest friends.We are both in our 60s and enjoy discovering new, and old music we missed the when it was released.
Met a couple of guys on here, got to listen to an excellent system, particularly the analog section. Speakers sounded great from mid up, bass was not my cup of tea.
I don't think they liked me. The guy who hosted was, well both were very friendly, just a bit odd. They probably thought much worse of me.

I only stop here on Saturday's when I get the email update. I think anyone named wolfgarcia would be my kind of people. Over the years, I met a lot of good people at Dead shows. After "Touch Of Grey" the wanna be's started showing up, didn't have a clue. More suited for head banging, both literally and otherwise. The one's that didn't get it moved on.
If you find people in your area, send a PM.It can be hard to find dedicated audiophiles/music lovers. Most of my friends, some I have known for over 50 years, have lost interest.
Another place to meet like minded people is at your local audio shop, when they have special events. If nothing else, you may meet some of audio's greats. I got to have a very nice conversation with Richard Vandersteen.
