My biggest complaint about the state is going to shows, if that's something you like to do. Audiences are generally stand off-ish, with eachother and with bands. If I had to try to put my finger on it I'd say everyone here is from somewhere else and everyone acts like they have something to prove. Locals can sometimes be snobby and shitty and in that way I could see it possibly being difficult to mingle a little.
