Hey Luis, I actually got my undergrad degree from U of T (in engineering though, not musicology). But anyway, I've heard the music scene in Philly is quite good (certainly better than Boston, where I am now). Talk to the guy that runs the SoundList mailing list (he has a lot of ties with the folks in the Philly scene). But in all reality, Toronto is an awesome city. I'd love to still be there, but I was forced to leave. :( Good luck! -- Adam "satyam, shivam, sundaram" --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
