I just wanted to introduce myself. I have been mostly reading for the past several weeks on several forums. I just recently found repgeek and find the atmosphere a little lighter here and I enjoy that. I am currently in the bay area (thats Northern California for people not familiar). I am very excited to get started into what I feel will be a very intense, expensive, and long term hobby =). I do have some (altho very limited) experiences with both gens and very very poor replicas so I have a lot to learn.
