It certainly has its pros and cons.

Pros- small, community like feel. Friendly, weird people, and very supportive if you're "in" with them

Cons- cliquey, boys-club type of mentality / behavior. Hive-mindset, so if you're not "in" with them, they'll be disrespectful during your set, etc. Additionally, doing the same sets in front of the same people week after week gets exhausting.

Best of luck on your decision! New haven is a great place to live and focus on artistic passions without having to pay NY prices. The train to NY is about 90 minutes long, certainly worth going there once a week / every other to check out their mic scene

I took both of my Subarus to Tech Auto in Hamden for years. They're not specifically a subaru shop but they know what they're doing and they won't rip you off
