Hello, all! Brand-new reader here. I'm 30 and live in NYC, an unrepentant sci-fi/fantasy geek (I love Tolkien, Star Trek, BSG, Firefly, and the list goes on) who somehow only just discovered this series. I blew through the books this summer (couldn't put them down) and have been lurking here for a few weeks now. If there are future NYC meetups, I'd be game. :)
