+ Nice area
+ Downtown isn't that far away

- Pretentious rich people, everywhere
- Music scene is nonexistent
- No young people

Do not come here.

Christ, I haven't heard from her in probably over a year, the last time I would have seen her would have been the second Alliance gig or just wandering Newcastle, thought she just dropped out of the game.

Wasn't she in Suzi: Won for a bit? they're of friends of a friend of mine... thought she'd be going from strength to strength by now.

                   cons- hicks, no music scene, and all in all not much to do ( and that's a big one) unless you like sittin at the bar.

+ Welcoming to strangers*
+ Thriving music scene
+ Great restaurants (vegan friendly)

*Unless you're an asylum seeker http://is.gd/aA3Nm

Live in Cramlington/Newcastle in the North East UK, as far as it goes its fairly rubbish, high unemployment, uninteresting music scene and lack of any chip gigs, its fairly cheap to live up here though, and the drinks are dirt cheap.

Also Syphus, Spoonbender and Cerebral Scars live here, and if we're sneaky we could probably get Firebrand Boy from across the border to Scotland if we just bundle him in the back of a van.

let's not forget Wroooaar / Venix

BLACKPOOL is where i went to uni and is a really fun/ friendly place to live. There were quite a few 8bit musicians too, such as Flanboy and Spacecadet. Beer was cheap as water and the air was pretty fresh. Plus Flanboy used to organise stuff like the 8bitball at Jenx

also I used to live in the Isle Of Man (and visit family there regularly) where the music scene is dire. Heavy on tribute and folk bands, I don't think a single chip gig has been put on there ever! I'd be too scared to suggest it too. but we do have lots of FIBRE GLASS COWS!!! 

I might move to Vancouver in a few years time, looks nice there....

Yea, so I live in small town in southern USA - New Bern, North Carolina to be exact. We are the child city of Bern in Switzerland and are pretty darn historic and all that jazz, but we've only really kept one thing over the past 300 years. Screw cows, we have freaking Bears.

EDIT: Apparently leeching these isn't working for some of them...

As to the actual music scene here, its pretty much Rock or Metal. Or Top 40 remixes. A small hick town means hardly any nerds, and then even fewer nerds interested in techno/trance/chipmusic. Ima try to change that in a couple months though.

Wow, those bears look AWESOME!

+not too big, not too small (easy to get around)
+people are pretty friendly
+8static
+lots of awesome little shops around (old city mostly)
+not as expensive as new york
