"Well not that it's particularly any business of yours, I'm here to study. I was just about to go hunting for the back alleys, dark corners, and hole-in-the-wall spots frequented by the masters of the craft.

I invite you to prove me wrong, or better yet confess to your knowledge of where I can find the folks I'm looking for."
