Ask post: Show in Providence

ass220 would be your best bet. it'd really going to depend on the style of music though.

i don't really think the underground is an option unless you are a brown student or have a some kind of brown connection, at least that has been my experience.

Ask post: How to make a break in a long term relationship work?

I agree with elisabeth r and Brandon Blatcher. It's going to be next to impossible to have the experiences you want and need with this arrangement.
