Hey, welcome to the forums. You've definitely come to the right place to talk shop... there's a lot of people here with a lot of knowhow.
Personally, I'm always up for a meet, especially when it's local. My car's pretty much stock but I do like to scope out others' rides and get ideas. I've added some stuff since the mini-meet back in December; Labrat's seen the '93-'95 gauges I've put in.
But, yeah. I'm down for a meet pretty much any time I can get off of work.
