Open Reel Curious

I am relatively new to audiophile level listening, with a respectable SS system, streaming mainly, with some discs and vinyl in the mix as well.  But I am intrigued with open reel. Yet I am also a bit intimidated. There is clearly a learning curve regarding equipment, calibration, tape types, etc, not to mention a pretty major expense. 
 

It seems like there are only a very few places to listen and learn - Brooklyn, LA, Vancouver, BC…? Anyone know of places in Chicago or Detroit where one can go to hear high-end open reel demos and talk to knowledgeable people in person? Anyone have any advice, like “Run! Run far away!” lol.

@terraplane8bob Your experience and if still having access to your R2R Decks and Tape, it seems to me you should be a person of interest to others interested in pure analogue audio.

I don't see why those with a healthy disposable income does not make an offer to Hire You for a night of your sharing in your Career and presenting Analogue Recordings.

I would take a wild punt in the right City with the a particular venue and right  organisation being involved, a few hundred attendees will be the minimum expressing an interest to be paying attendees.

Individuals with such an experience are in small commodity in the present time.
