What is the top “scene” you’re familiar with where a small group is doing unusual/interesting work? What are they doing? What’s the anchor? Doesn’t have to be a formal institution like a univ dept/lab. Could be a blog, cafe, coworking/co-living space, corporate workgroup etc.

Underground Music Scene. Anchors are particular bands, individual artists, certain bars / clubs, social networks. Entry is based on ability, cred, who you know, who likes you, if you're fun to party with / have the good drugs. Making weird music.

Stuff is all homebrew, low / zero budget. Lots of sharing, teaching, mentor ship. John Robb Global Guerilla style competition / cooperation models. Tons of very weird innovative music is being made underground and almost nobody is hearing it.

Socal High Desert: Victorville / Apple Valley, Big Bear. Same is true south of here near Joshua Tree / Palm Springs although the styles of music are a little different and that scene has the better hippie festivals.
