What Marc said. Doubly so for avoiding the gig sites. I'd suggest poking around various user groups and tech meetings.

A few years back, I attended a Microsoft day event for their embedded products. It was a presentation of what new stuff they were rolling out (conveniently neglecting to mention that they were about to throw us into the river with no paddle or boat, but I digress...). Anyway, over lunch, a few of us were sitting around the table, and one gentleman turned out to be a mid-level manager for a local VAR in the Atlanta area. They had numerous opportunities to deploy custom kiosk solutions across the area, but they could not find anyone to do the code. I still regret not being able to follow up on that opportunity.

Remember that some of this is marketing. Using acquaintances helps the marketing, but getting out there cannot be replaced.
