You'd think that there would be at least a handful of people who play. I mean, college towns have a huge population of young people who are into stuff like DDR and ITG.

The best thing to do is find a good local spot to play, and go often. If there are any other serious players there, that's how you'll find them (assuming that they aren't on bemani-related forums). This is how I met about a dozen fellow players when I went to WSU.

there isn't a scene down here. i used to play on my cobalt flux in my old place but my pad is broken and now i'm in an apartment. SAD DAYZ.

Man, you should fix it up and we can play or something.  ;_;

well, it's at my home in beaverton. i've fixed it a few times now because it's 7 or so years old. plus the mod on my ps2 decided to break. i've just taken to playing starcraft 2 .

hey, I live in Corvallis but I haven't been playing too much lately. There used to be a half crappy DDR machine on campus but they got rid of it. Now there are no machines in town. There is however a dedicab in Springfield that is in really good condition. It's definitely worth driving down there on weekends to play. Hit me up and I'll take a trip down there and check it out if ya want. peace

Yup. There's a couple guys in Eugene/Springfield still.
