Pete P just clued me in about a Mar 15 - 17 Midwest 3D Printer Fest being organized in Elkhart, IN.
"The 2013 Midwest RepRap Festival in Elkhart Indiana is the place to be March 15-17th. Registration is FREE, there are no tickets, no entry fees, just come hang out all weekend and hang out with other 3D printer guys and gals. This event will feature a build-event for Rostock MAX's, Guest speakers such as JohnnyR from UltiMachine.com, Josef Prusa (Live broadcast), and more..."
Sounds like a worthwhile event, good place to meet other 3D printing enthusiasts. Let me know if you're interested in a group roadtrip down to that.
(Thanks for organizing the fest, John!)
