I'm a bit too intimated to go. I only started this hobby for about a year or two and this would be my first meet-up. I don't even know what to even expect.
I only started a few months before you and I went to my first meet about a year later (Canjam Socal 2015). I had such an amazing time that I've been to many meets since then. I've also started organizing local meets at The Source A/V down here in LA. It has the potential to be a wonderful experience if you open yourself up to meeting people and trying new gear. I highly recommend it!
