Im looking to get in touch with some other bass players and bands in the Atlanta metro Area (Preferably Gwinnett County). Id like to meet some of the local talent and get more aquanted with the scene as i plan to launch a new band into it sometime within the next six months. If anyone wants to contact me personally just send me a private message opr email me at sk8mac69@yahoo.com.

Thanks All

oh there are lots o' bassists in your area. a lot of them post on here quite frequently...you're in the middle of an assa talent. don't let them intimidate you....they're all great guys. and oh yeah, jt's mullet doesn't bite...i don't think :D

I live in Gwinnett county. I know at least one other member who lives in this area too. If nothing else, you ought to come to the next get together. We have them about once a quarter. I think there are around 25 of us in the Atlanta Metro area.

If I had seen this yesterday, I would have mentioned my gig last night in Decatur.

I'm in L5P, and Dave Siff lives nearby, too. Granted, he's in Italy right now, but they'll be kicking him out soon, I'm sure....

hey, yeah, we have a bunch of greater-atlantans around here. welcome :)

Hey, JT-- We need to hook up soon and futz with my new V-Bass. :D

Perhaps a TalkBass dinner is in order before the holidays get everyone too busy to see straight for the rest of the year.

Sorry, just saw the post! Welcome to the area. I'm over in Grayson. (go south from Buford until you smell it, then left until you step in it) Hope to see you at the next get-together!

i concur. when's siffy getting back?

Lawrenceville here. Welcome to TB!

What are some good places that you have played or heard of in the area. Let Me Know

Later

I guess that I'm the sole rep for Centerville here. And don't let the hyper here get to ya - these guys are just a bunch of untalented ham-n-eggers!

No wait!, That's ME (untalented, ham-n-egger). The rest of the guys (and girls) all have actual gigs.

don't you forget about us nashvillians!

how's about the first weekend of december (1 week after thanksgiving) we have an atlanta bassists get together for a pre-christmas dinner. there's a really great brazillian steakhouse up roswell road, like fogo de chiao, but 1/2 the price, called carro de boi. all you can scarf meats of all kinds for ~$20 a plate.

fridays better than saturday for me!

Me, too. EarthLink's Holiday party is on the 7th, so it'd have to be Friday for me, too. Of course, I'll have to run it past the lady before I can commit to anything.

either is good for me. I'm sorry I missed the last get-together!

hindsight, to answer your question, depends on what you want to see. My favorite places regardless of musical genre are: Variety Playhouse (I can walk), Fox Theatre, Spivey Hall, Churchill Grounds, Smith's Olde Bar, Tabernacle. I have not played any of those except Smiths, and the VP, but all are good to go check out a show.

check the creative loafing I think it's

A week from Friday sounds fine to me.. gotta check with the wife.
Hindsight, welcome to talkbass, glad to see another Atlanta-area guy on the board. Look forward to meeting you at the next shindig.

cool, next friday night it is, then (december 6). does that restaurant sound good - we can try anywhere, really, but barbara and i went there last week and were pretty blown away.

I'd love to join you guys for dinner but I'm gonna be out of town that weekend. You should talk about scheduling another Atlanta bass-fest for early next year. Have fun.

if this is still on i need to know... hey JT up for hangin friday afternoon? i will be bringin a new recruit and i will be having to drive down then right back so let me know.

Bummer! I can't make it. You guys have fun!

Lisa

Sorry, I haven't been posting in the thread, but I'm still up for dinner on Friday. Assuming, of course, that Ice Storm '02 doesn't have us all trapped under .000004" of ice. :D Doesn't take much to freak GA out weather-wise.

I will be flying solo since Liegia is going to use the time that I'm out to work on law school applications.

Hey, Stingrayman--

Any chance of you bringing the movies from the get together on a cd for me? I think I have a friend who has 400 mb of space free on his server to host them for those brave enough to download them. For a couple of weeks, at least.

What's the plan, Stan? Where we gonna meet up? Siff and I will probably drive together in my Liberal-Mobile ;).

ok sorry the boss has been here all day and this is the first i have sat down. My boy Dan and i will leave nash vegas at about 10:30. i guess we will head to JT's or guitar shopping until JT is available. Do you still have my cell number JT? if not i will send it to you in PM. monkee i will try to find the disks when i get home today and bring it with me.

Um...Guys?

It's Friday. Are we doing this thing, or not?

Still not sure where or when we are meeting, or even what the name of the restaurant is.

I mean, I'll be perfectly content going to dinner with Dave to discuss all things bass, but I see him enough as it is, and people will talk. ;)

JT--Get your mullet out of your behind, and give up some details, Scooter.

That oughta get his attention.....:D

oops. sorry bout that. yeah, this is still on. carro de boi on roswell road, about 4 or 5 miles north of 285, on the left (west) side. when do you want to meet?
