How did we meet? Only by being huge nerds! We met several years ago on a text-based RPG (role-playing game) site called Improbable Island, after each of us being involved with the community for nearly a decade. After doing a lot of chatting and RPG events, we decided to meet in person for a long weekend. We saw Mozart's "Cosi Fan Tutti" at Seattle Opera, had a crab boil at the Waterfront, and Mark didn't mind that it poured rain the whole time. After that meeting, we decided to move in together. Mark and Nathan left California for Seattle, and three years later, we're making it official.
