Every May the Natural History Museum in Los Angeles holds the Annual Bug Fair. It's the 1-2 times of the year when I can actually interact with other T keepers like myself. I'll be there for sure and maybe pick up a new critter or 2. For anyone in the LA area or from far away that would like to come. There's vendors(even well known vendors), cooked bugs, collectibles, etc and sell lots of bugs like tarantulas, scorpions, beetles, millipedes, and all kinds of other weird stuff. It's a week away but I'm itching for it to get here.
