Be careful with chaos magic. It is a legitimate power source and can be used for very positive means, but a lot of the books that discuss it are tinged with negative philosophy, if not flat out connected to black magic. The dark arts and the typical definition of chaos magic often go hand in hand, and its potency can be remarkably tempting to abuse. It can also literally unleash chaos if you aren't firmly grounded. Not something to just throw around casually...but then, I wouldn't recommend approaching any type of magical practice wantonly.
I would also note that working with other magicians doesn't necessarily denote everyone meeting in a candle lit room somewhere. Most of the people I practice with live nowhere near me, and much of our work is done through phone calls, skype, chat or just setting a certain time to focus on something. Being able to have an actual temple with a group ritual setting has its benefits, but sometimes you just have to work with what you have until new opportunities arise.
