I've been playing with family members the past month and it's way better (times a billion)  than playing by myself.
If anyone is reading this who, I put an ad out to play, *sorry* I didn't get back to you but my van collapsed when I put that ad out.  Then I was like "buhhhh...."  thought it'd get fixed quick-didn't-anyway just saying. But it will be soon and I hope to hook up with at least some of the people who originally replied.  If you're still living in Wash. and what not.
It's way more fun once you play with people! 
Love,

Great advice that works for almost anything you have to pass or learn:
"What you need is equal parts enthusiasm, calm, and a healthy self esteem."
