In rock club in a house in San Jose

San Jose has a limited number of music venues, so the Gingerbread House has become a place for touring bands to play their version of a house concert.

Spartan Daily, 3/22/07 - Bringing music to your ears: Gingerbread style: "'(San Jose) is not supposed to be some suburban little sh**-hole town,' Smith said. 'There's a million people here, and look at the scene here. Our scene should rival L.A., should rival San Francisco and Portland and Seattle.'

Will Cline, who grew up in Newark and currently lives in San Francisco, said the Bay Area is one of the best places to live, but that it is strangely 'separated.'

'It's got its Peninsula, it's got its South Bay, it's got its East Bay, and it seems like it never really mingles too much,' Cline said. 'But if we all start mingling, it could be a force to be reckoned with. I think there would be a lot of good things to happen.'"
