Gigs?
I think if you want to make friends through music it helps to do something, like start a band, write reviews, run a label, manage bands, promote gigs, blah blah blah... these things lead to meeting people with similar interests in a much less scary way.
That's again asking me to be a completely different person. I lack musical talent and have no interest in business or marketing. I'm a writer, not a musician. Besides, I highly doubt I'd be able to form a band considering that that would entail finding people who liked the same music I liked, which is difficult enough to do even on its own because most people here don't really share my taste.
You're a writer, not a musician. Great, so am I. You do the music writing thing then. There are so many magazines, fanzines, websites that you're bound to find somewhere to work for. If you do a fanzine you can hand copies of it out at this club. People will come up and talk to you then because they want to ask you questions about it.
Doing fanzines is fun, I'm working on one now.
