Yup, I live in the West. In Babylon (AKA Los Angeles), to be precise.
I'd be down with trying out Ars Magica or, really, quite a few other things at some point. I've got the PDF of I think 5th ed, but I've never actually gotten to play the game.
Email, forum or LJ-based games can certainly work. I've been tinkering with them lately. Another handy venue is the IM-based game, especially if a group uses some of the group chat options that are built into messagers like AIM and Y!M.
BTW, I don't know if you know my AIM handle: it's the same as my LJ. Fell free to toss a "yo!" my way sometime.
