Hello!
I almost got into go a few years back, but not quite. Got myself a miniature set (19x19 wood board, but very small with plastic stones) but never really started playing. Recently I found it in my basement and thought "hey, perhaps it's time to learn this game".
The feeling of those small plastic stones weren't very enjoyable though, so I made myself a full size goban (first 19x19, then 13x13 and 9x9 as well) and bought a set of 10mm glass stones.
Still haven't gotten around to playing much though, the local go club doesn't meet during the summer (I will go there when they start in september!) and staying at home with two small kids doesn't leave much time...
I want to play more with real stones on a real board before diving into net play. Played a game on KGS yesterday and got crushed, but I wasn't expecting any other result.
I live in Uppsala, Sweden. There's a tournament in Stockholm this weekend and I'll probably go there just to check it out and meet some players IRL.
This seems like a nice place, I already enjoy reading through discussions even when I don't even understand half of it...
