I think that for Northern California to get an organized presence, it'll need someone to take the reins and get it rolling. I have a good friend who goes to San Jose State University, so I'll see if he has any friends that would be interested. I think that the event going on in Felton is absolutely amazing, and I think that it'll do a lot to increase awareness. Larry, is there a big installfest or event you guys are going to have that we could come up for? I could probably make it up for a weekend to help out and rep the team.
