I just moved from the Atlanta area (lived in Jonesboro) last July.

I used to have a good following in that Hobbytown USA up near you. Every Sunday during the summer, they'd have a HUGE sale (don't know if they're still doing it) and about 8 of us would just get together and drift. However, how I got that going was I just started drifting up there one Sunday and people wanted to do it too. Try that.
