Why is none of this shit ever in Arizona?

There is Sonic Arizona but sadly it hasn't really amounted to much...

 

It really all comes down to someone in each area having the inspiration (and in some cases, funds) to really get things together.

Eau Claire?!?  I used to go to college there!

I have the inspiration, but I'm poor.

That actually isn't too much of an obstacle to smaller gatherings! It really is just a matter of scheduling an area to meet up, an arcade, restaurant, etc. and then getting the word out.

 

Of course there's also a need for patience, given that it's very likely the first few meets won't attract many attendees. Great things take time!
