I really coouldn't tell you what to do man. I've lived in Newport News for going on 20 years, so i really don't know what the west coast is like. Never even left this time zone. Kinda sad actually...
anyways, i understand what revtek is saying. That is also scary. I love Va. like i loved my high school. It sucks, but it sucks so much less than most of the rest of the world. I don't know if i could move, but that's me. I'm very deeply rooted here, you're not. Do what you think is best for your future. And don't do it for the scene. the scene is not your life, your life just happens to coincide with the scene. if things change in your life, and the scenen isn't there any more you'll have possibly made a big mistake....
