I can tell you that all of 188 is looking forward to SoCal, as by the end of march we are usually pretty tired of winter setting in and we'll be glad to get a respite (I also have some family in the LA area

). Also it would be very very interesting to see some different styles of play on the west coast. of course there was atlanta, but that was such a hodgepodge of teams that no real pattern was developed. its going to be very interesting to see how strategies and robots differ from waterloo (our most probable regional before) to SoCal the next week!
