How do you get into the USCF

I live in Oregon and joined the USCF.I received the Mags for a year and that was about it.I manage a restaraunt and ask a lot of the kids if they play chess.Most dont.Most of the kids nowadays are into gaming. I play over the board games at pioneer courthouse square against the bums.Some of those guys are pretty good. Most of the really good players hang out ...[text shortened]... hat! Noone in my circle of friends even knows that Kasperov retired ..let alone who he even is..

People still letter in chess, there just aren't as many of us anymore. I was founder and captain of my HS team. That was much more fun than cross country, but I'm sure all the bughouse didn't help our serious games.
