Greetings,

My wife and I will be relocating to the Baltimore area and so I thought I would try and do a little recon :-)

She'll be working as a nurse but I'll be looking to see what's up in the tech/music/sound design field shortly after arriving (sooner if the position really clicks) as I'll probably spend the first few months writing another album and DJing either clubs or conventions (if the opportunity opens up.)

I know everywhere it seems the industry is pretty tough out there but I thought I would at least ask. I have 15+ years experience in writing music and creating sound effects for video games, film and rich media productions (internet), have run clubs for almost as long managing, booking, promoting, DJing, live sound, etc. and have run web sites again for almost as long utilizing perl mostly and I'm in the process of moving functions to php.

Most of my work can be viewed on my site: www.cyberden.com

Aside from that - we're looking at Fells Point for a possible point to start out at renting for a while - Any clubs in FP? How's the area? I know just like any city, there are areas you definately don't want to even drive through (I was there last month checking it out and getting a quick 'tour') but it looks like FP would be a good central location for her work.

Thanks in advance for any tips/pointers.

I know some of you may be wondering how unusual it is to relocate TO the Baltimore area, but we have reasons... plus California (where we're coming from) is getting more crowded and more expensive every day :-P
