Zac and I just made contact...he's right between me and Indy! I think there's a ronin out near him somewhere that we're gonna try to get him in touch with in the meantime.

Stop by 10P O'Fallon as much as you can. You won't be disappointed. Awesome group of guys and straight killers on the mat.
Mastering all the warm up series is a good start. I trained 2.5 years, worked hard, lost 30lbs and rarely missed a mat session, demonstrated all of the warm ups from memory in front of a seminar full of people including Master Eddie. Got my blue in October. Not everyone's path is the same, but I felt pretty good about where I was when I got it.
I did make it out to see Gary. I was able to sort of test myself against different skill levels. I'm not as bad off as I thought I was. I got a lot of great pointers from Gary and the guys. I have more of a path to follow now instead of just learning random techniques. So I'll drill here with my training partners and I'm planning to go to their open mat every other Saturday. It was totally worth my drive. I'd go more if I lived closer. I want to start chipping away to hotbox status but I think I have to be ranked for that first.
