[QUOTE="THATpurpleKUSH, post: 7543297, member: 615398"] I went to my first Meca event back in October and loved it. I was surprised at how friendly everyone was and how easily they were willing to give advice. Even my girlfriend said she had a good time What held me back for so long was the cost and distance and my school/workload. The closest events to me are 2+hrs away and gas prices arent helping either. To top that off I had to miss a day of work, which ***** when you are a college student. Between gas and entry fees I'm already up over $100, then add food and/or extra passes or clinics and the cost runs up real fast. I want to come out to more this year, but this is my senior year and I need to make sure I get good grades and focus on my schoolwork. I do think that the local shops and even some big box retail stores should host more local events, because this would allow people to get their foot in the door or even just the thought about competing. I called my local shop all summer asking if they were going to do any events and they told me they werent sure and to call back at a later date. I dont like the people at my local shop because they are all arrogant and condescending so I'm not sure if they advertised any Meca events. But I really think that Meca does need to get the local shops to help them advertise as they dont seem to do a very good job of advertising. [/QUOTE]
