Any chance the event you are headed out to is Invasion?
If so that's being run by Specdet1, the team I'm on, several of our members have been in the comunity for over 10 years. Hit us up, we'd be interested in talking to you about teams in the area weather that's ours or others... And helping you find the right fit.
If you weren't thinking of coming to Invasion, rethink that decision
. It's gonna be a blast.
