well I might not be going, but you did inspire me to at least set up with an FCC account and pay for a GMRS license.
I'd say you got me to get off my butt... but I did it while sitting down, if you know what i mean.
Also, I'll likely print out one of the guides in your link and go from there

There are exams also at the RARSfest. People taking the exams get into the event, gratis.

Kind of a useful goal, set the date (April 6th) and come up to the fairgrounds and see America's largest all-indoor hamfest.
With 46 days left to go, it's a perfect amount of time to bone up on the test material and be ready.

I have a Kenwood TS-940SAT from an estate sale that could be your first HF rig, once you get your General.
A true classic, been enjoying using it here after I checked it all out, getting unsolicited nice comments about my signal quality.
