Might Move to the Bay Area 1

Got connected by a friend to a big professional audio/studio design and engineering company that is hungry for engineers who are also musicians. Probably after the first of the year, but we'll see. It's actually in Scotts Valley.
Can you imagine getting to monkey all day with high end studio equipment and get paid awesome salary for it?

i got cured that fucking nasty liver virus is gone. My liver is even repairing itself slowly. So I just play music, fuck a worn out middle aged bitch that lives across the street every once in a while, and work.
Getting ready to take the mother of all mescaline trips later this year.

From my experience the bay area is so liberal it makes connecticut look like Nazi Germany.

Be prepared to drop that big salary on rent every month, shit is getting crazy and only going to get worse with the two new Apple facilities. New one bedroom townhomes near there are renting for $5,000 a month.

I'm loose in my definition of the Bay Area. Santa Cruz to Vacaville to Santa Rosa and all in between count as Bay Area to me. All under an hour from places that are undisputedly within the bay.Quote:

Yeah if you are single I would recommend getting an RV and camping out on the beach or in the mountains. If I didn't live with my girlfriend, there is no way in hell I would be throwing this much money at rent for a one bedroom apartment when my parents spend less than half what I do on a mortgage on a very nice sized house.

I think you get used to it being liberal and forget that other mindsets exist, but then you go somewhere else or read the news and are reminded for sure. The liberal mindset is changing with the changing demographics.
Yeah, not to split hairs, but I don't agree that Santa Cruz and Vacaville count as Bay. It's a good 1.5 hours to Santa Cruz sometimes 2, and Vacaville is like country. Might as well same Sacramento in the Bay Area then.
As to cost of living, it's fucking unbelievable and things are changing. I wouldn't recommend it the way I would have 10-15 years ago. I'm not sure how Santa Cruz is affected but I'm sure it's changed some too. It's a cool, mellow and relaxed beach culture down there + mountains.
All that being said, I would choose California over most any state. I'd definitely want to try living on the East Coast but that ship has sailed.

SF prices so insane... not worth really - Seattle and Portland are similarly progressive if you care about that (which I doubt you do)... but a lot cheaper.
I'm not cut out for studio work personally... occasionally there's a good band but most of them just seem to be shit and you spend most of your time finding euphemistic ways to tell them they suck and need to do it again, all the while being tortured with their mediocre music..

I drop 2k a month on rent here in san diego but as an engineer i make enough to have a lot left over, so its good.
Use to live in Alameda--if you call living on a ship living but most of the time I'd stay at my gf's house in sf liberals dont bother me, i get along fine with everyone excet politiicians of every stripe. 
I do wonder if the rock club called 'the stone' is still on broadway street right next to CHinatown. THey used to have some fucking Hot bands there. I saw Paul Gilbert with Racer-X play 'Eruption' on his guitar with a pick glued to a blacck and decker drill.

actually, its not studio work i will be doing it is designing--the comany is Universal Audio, which makes a lot of pro audio gear. my second choice to live is denver/boulder/cclorado springs since this axis has become the new axis of startups for high tech, what with California getting so expensive.
