Hah, yeah, that's kinda how it was when I was living in Maryland. But yeah, if you can spare a Saturday I'll need to kidnap you and bring you down there. I've yet to meet anyone who doesn't like that place.
Naw, JJSZ pretty much stayed in PA. I don't think he really played PIU at all, either--he mainly stuck with ITG and DDR. He was a pretty amazing player, though. If Konami weren't dicks about the US release of SuperNOVA and allowed us to unlock it he would have probably gotten the world first AAA on Chaos. He was stuck on 1 great because it wasn't straight-forward to play it. Basically, you'd have to select medium (which locks you to 7s or 8s) and get extra stage, then play it on extra stage. Konami unlocked SuperNOVA via e-AMUSEMENT, and support for that never came to the States. And, of course, they never gave us unlock codes as a backup.
