At first glance, it looked like a cigarette was coming out of your friend's nose.

Thanks to Ed/Tony/Orioner for the help. To the others, still appreciated

I'm going down there to start working at PwC. The descriptions given about those cities is certainly helpful. I actually haven't yet looked on Craigslist so I'll give that a run within the month. The price range I'm expecting is around $600-1500, at least realistically and with a lot of effort. It's more than likely I'll be visiting within the year to narrow it down and finalize everything.

Musically, it's nice to know that there are many options. I was aware that San Jose wasn't that 'popping', but I didn't know there were a lot of options relatively close. I don't go that often, and what with work and all I will have less time, but I like having the option. I'm also a fairly skilled musician, and I would love to jam around and just have fun so it's good to know that is in abundance.

Once again thanks for the help I really appreciate it.

And to Nat, you could always move there. God knows the state needs your $$$

We were just discussing in class today how the state is in legislative chaos.

They could definitely use some of Natrlhi's money.

It is a goal of mine to move out to the Bay area in the next 7-10 years; I love the area, San Francisco is one of my favorite cities and it doesn't hurt it has a good music scene.

Ah, right downtown? If you don't mind taking the light rail (which is a good idea since traffic and parking can be murder), its only a block or two away and you can come from just about anywhere in the area.

Not sure, I wouldn't be surprised either way, they're a bunch of knuckleheads.

Funny thing is that I've seen him do that before.

Since when did I become known as the dude with all the cheddar around here?

...and for the record, my greatest blessings are far from financial or material.

Prattle aside, that's why we all secretly envy you Natrlhi.

Beats the fuck out of Cleveland, I can tell you that much.

That's plenty fair Nat, I don't really have any experience with anywhere else except LA so I'm basing my experience without a reference. I don't know, I just feel like so many fans here just have no idea how much amazing music the bay has and they end up taking it for granted. Even my boss, Justin Weis, the guy who recorded/mixed/mastered Dwellings, 17th Street, The Tenant and the last few Slough Feg albums is practically oblivious to how amazing, beloved and well respected these bands are.

I can't blame you at all for feeling that way. I get down on the folks in this neck of the woods, too, when shows get poor turnouts and shit like that. It's like, if you have something worthwhile, you have to protect it and give a shit about it and show some gratitude - not sit on your hands and expect the world to be given to you on a silver platter because you "deserve" it simply by virtue of living in a relatively large metro area.
