CHAD!!!!! THIS IS MY THING!!!!!!
If you want to learn 5e, I wrangle the D&D goings-on at D20 Hobbies. I teach the beginner table and organize special events. If you want to play in a loud and crazy and active environment, join me any Wednesday at 6:30pm and I'll show you (and all my other newbies) the ropes. Then I can seat you at a permanent table; we've got some awesome groups with supercool DMs and fantastic players.
If you need another warm body to play or DM while you spin up a home group, I'm on board. I can't make a long-term commitment to a another group, but I can sure help get you started. :-)
