Try doing a search on 'California' or the name of the city you are in. I won't be surprised if something interesting turns up regarding any CS members residing there or somewhere in your region.
Some folks here visit LA or Frisco quite often too... u could always keep a look out for anyone announcing their travel plans here before they go and see if you could actually hook up with them.
I might actually want to visit soon, but the security situation is quite a hassle and a turnoff...
