Back in 1997 I got an instant message thru ICQ from a turkish artist named Serhat. My nickname on ICQ was Animator (I was doing a lot of 3D animation back then)<\/em>. He was searching for fellow artists and people working on animation so he found me.<\/p>\n

We spent a lot of time chatting, we became good online friends\u00a0and we even worked together in a couple of design projects. Back then he lived in Turkey and wanted to go abroad. Later on he was able to travel around Europe and several years ago he made it to the United States of America where he lives now (LA, California)<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Last year (2007)<\/em>\u00a0when I was working as a producer for Tecnetico.com<\/a> at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Serhat drove from LA to Las Vegas and we were able to meet in the real world<\/em> for the first time. He was sick with a terrible cold, I was working and we were squeezing ten years of online memories and events in the 25 minutes\u00a0that I was able to take off from work\u00a0. Photographs were taken\u00a0and we left with the promise to meet again some time soon.<\/p>\n

So… today February 14, 2008, Serhat and I met again right here in Puerto Rico.<\/p>\n

But did Serhat traveled from LA to Puerto Rico just to see he’s good friend James??? Not really.<\/p>\n

To be continued…<\/p>\n

Bueno\u00a0me voy a dormir, ma\u00f1ana les sigo contando la historia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
