Count me in, I have been trying to put together a user group for over a year now (see my signature).
I am living in Big Bear Lake now, but have not sold my house in Riverside yet, and lived there for about 15 years before coming back up to my home town.
I hope you have more luck in getting responses than I have. I know that there are a few Amiga users still living in the Southern Calif. area. I have one very good friend that still makes most of his income from his Toaster/Flyer system after starting on it over 15 years ago. I can talk him into coming if he can fit it into his schedule (he also plays in two bands).
