Tumblr’s messaging service doesn’t allow links, so I’m making this post is for someone on here who I’ve been in contact with and this will also serve as a checklist for myself:
I went to Waiting Room yesterday which is near NTNU, you can find the address here: http://on.fb.me/x3jkvE .
They gave me a list of venues:
underworld-taipei.blogspot.com
thewall.com.tw
and facebook.com/revolver.taipei (a bar + venue).
There’s also another music store/sometimes venue near NTNU called White Wabbit, here’s the website: http://on.fb.me/ABGqwW and press clipping: http://bit.ly/zwJDqm
My friend Dorothy who is crazy about Taiwan but stuck in the states linked me to a few blogs, this one is her favorite focusing on general ex-pat stuff:

My friend David who visited the country for a bit last year told me I had to go to this theater called SPOT. It’s the old US embassy converted into an indie movie theater: http://bit.ly/xWCkf4
That’s all I have right now, hopefully that helps you a bit Karrah. I know next to nothing about Taiwan so let me know what you end up finding too! I’ll probably buy a travel book the next few days though those don’t always list the fun quirky stuff that locals know about.
