*Sigh* It's things like this that make me detest living in Indiana. None of these social events ever come here (save for Gen Con, but that's not really much of a gaming convention.) I would love the opportunity to meet my favorite developers and authors. It's time to get out of this state and go somewhere that would actually be beneficial for networking and possibly getting my foot in the door with the industry.

Ah well, I still hold out hope that I'll someday get to meet Joesph Staten. If he's the only Bungie employee I ever got to meet, I could die peacefully :D
