In-person isn't possible for me - except that I once did a library talk with another disabled writer at our local library, a talk to which NO ONE came, not even the staff member who invited us. We had a good chat, each of us with our support people there - but she came from Berkeley to Davis, and we've never been in contact since (it was during the pandemic, so I'm not surprised).
Sounds like so much fun!
When I first started writing (already ill, but much more mobile), I met my writing partner, and we both went to Bouchercon 1998 in Philadelphia for a few hours each day - getting back to New Jersey to pick up our kids at the schoolbus. We're still good friends, but discovered early on that critiquing each other's work - me mainstream, her thrillers - was a very bad idea, but a great excuse for lunch at Red Lobster. She's in Vermont, I'm in California now - and those kids are still best friends.
