either the Paradise Rock Club or the Middle East- both in the Boston, MA area\n\nThey play all kinds of music both places, and they're not really local for me, but it's one of the closest cities and both venues are great for small shows with indie "unknowns" playing.

Honey, I was raised in that area, and Fresno is your best bet. I haven't been back for awhile, but you can bet the clubs are there.

Madisons' not called that anymore - great place to get shot.\nRichards on Richards, s'ok good live shows.\n\npick up a Georgia Straight, its got the 4-11 on all the club happenings, there's something for everyone..\nas I suggested in your other question the Lotus would be a good spot, ditto for Celebrities or Odyssey. gay-friendly dance bars.\n\n stay offa Granville - LAME! (unless you are a frat boy looking for a fight, or you like those kind of boys) the Granville exception is the Commodore (big live venue)

Martini/wine/piano bars...a bit swankier than local pubs. Also, if your company/institution has conferences or voluntary lectures, go to them and mingle with others afterwards if there's food. Check local listings for talks or lectures that you would find interesting. These things typically have a post-talk social function or if you ask questions or make comments, people may approach you aftwards to 'discuss' your thoughts.

Madison Square Garden, very big....but, in the village, there are so  many smaller clubs, and anyone and everyone goes there....\n\nby the way, its CBGB'S, which has closed its doors....
