Re: Where do you play?

try hooking up with the local fine arts community in your area...for
example, we basically started our own "scene" when I wrote a proposal and
submitted it to the art insitute in kansas city...I made a compelling
argument and laid out the way it would work, established some admin and
logistic parameters, etc., and we have the campus auditorium once per month
for shows...maybe more frequently as it takes off (still very early on into
this..but you gotta start somewhere)...try rounding up all the musicians in
your region, form a coallition of sorts, and approach a venue operator 
about
having "your night" once per month for starters then gearing up as interest
increases...

there are some other thoughts on this and my original propsal you can read
