Give it a shot. Remember that Bill Gates dropped out of college to start Microsoft and a lot of other successful businesses were started by guys like you who are passionate about something and took a risk based on that passion. If you don't try it, you'll always have the "what ifs."

Get your name on craigslist, go to the shows, LeSueur, Albany, Hutchinson, etc. Good Luck!
