great advice so far, thanks a lot guys. i live in virginia beach which is a pretty big city (same size in area as NYC believe it or not) with a lot of musicians, and it's a big tourist city so there's a ton of bars/restaurants. i don't really know many people in the scene so i'll have to start networking and making connections.
