noticed the thread on moving on this list... i'm currently in san francisco (well, ok, over the bay in bezerkeley), and for the past several years have been feeling the urge to leave the bay area. i'm just not happy here - i miss the seasons like back east (i'm from jersey), and i miss the summer (you know "the coldest winter i ever spent was a summer in san francisco...") a move would be a big deal, though - i'm not as young as i once was, and my partner and i have accumulated a lot of stuff (well, he has A LOT of records he's not going to part with).
anyway, since i don't see how either of us could make a living at this point in the uk or berlin or barcelona, i'm putting out feelers about other places in the u.s. so, is there anyone on this list in asheville, chapel hill, austin or ann arbor? (these are a few places i'm checking out.) what's the techno scene like there? uh, is there one? (excluding ann arbor from that question, since i know it's near detroit.) techno brings me so much joy and it's close to my heart and i don't want to give that up. i know a place can be what you make it, and i've done my share of diy stuff here in the bay, but i enjoy the freedom of going out and just dancing and not having to throw the party as well, so i'd like wherever i move to have at least something going on... or maybe i should just figure out a way to make a living in europe. (sigh).
