The force is with you! :P
Well, unfortunately I'm Utah, so can't help much. :) There is a thread you can specifically post to in here called "Find a buddy/trainer" that you may have some success finding someone else in Wisconsin.
I'm a big nerd too, so no worries. In fact, just had the flu last month, and watched all 4 Revenge of the Nerds in one week :P. Crazy I know...
Stop nerd persecution! :D
