Oh my gosh, the mental image is this close to making me cry!

Yes, of course you could consider yourself a "front-ranger" for the weekend. (Wow, I keep reading that and getting the urge to send you a teddy bear or something... what's wrong with me?

)

If we do it in the Springs, we have to pick a weekend when the Sky Sox are playing.

I signed up for a lesson with Ray Riendeau at Bass Slam and I'm kinda scared s#!tless, despite playing music since I was 4 (bass for 10 years). Still going to do it though, can't pass up the opportunity! Moral: you should come down if we have a GTG!

I'm guessing a Saturday would be best?

fretlessman71 · #85 02-25-2009, 11:13 PM

You mean because no one ever gigs on a Saturday?

Jeff Martinez · #86 02-25-2009, 11:44 PM

I haven't had a Saturday gig in a long time.

jrug · #87 02-25-2009, 11:51 PM

I'm thinking a Saturday too. It's a lot less likely to conflict with people's M-F gigs, y'ah mean?

Here's what I want to do. I want to set it for a Saturday afternoon in mid to late April. I'm hoping for a good amount of participants so I want to make sure that I have enough time to arrange it with the establishment that I have in mind. If there aren't enough people involved to justify a larger venue, then my house will suffice.

All I need right now is enough people to tell me they're interested (more than a dozen) and I will get to work on booking this thing. The sooner the better. It will be easiest for me to keep track of things if you PM me.

I'm getting stoked, this is gonna be fun!

I know, I know... I have a strange schedule, and I regularly gig on Th/F/S in Cherry Creek starting at 7. I'm just being a little sarcastic. I'd even try to get out of the gig that night if this were to happen, so don't mind me.

jrug · #89 02-26-2009, 12:36 AM

There's no "if" about this anymore. It's gonna happen. I'm gonna set it up so that anybody that HAS to be back to D-town for gig time will still be able to come and hang. Cherry Creek is no more than an hour and ten minutes from here so I figure that gives you until about 5:50, right?

Just remember, when you're important, they'll wait. And who's more important than the bass player?

fretlessman71 · #90 02-26-2009, 12:51 AM

More like 5:15. I can't afford to be late. But I'd make the trip even just to hang out for the first part of it!

jrug · #91 02-26-2009, 01:03 AM

Oh yeah... set up time...

You in?

fretlessman71 · #92 02-26-2009, 03:34 AM

I'll find a way to be there, even IF the Sky Sox aren't playing.

Jeff Martinez · #93 02-26-2009, 08:10 AM

Count me in.

Joe Gress · #94 02-26-2009, 08:35 AM

I'll be there.

Captain_Arrrg · #95 02-26-2009, 09:51 AM

Me three.

RE: Sky Sox

fretlessman71 · #96 02-26-2009, 09:58 AM

Yeah, I know... it finally occurred to me that I wouldn't be able to do baseball, GTG, AND make it back for my gig in time. And now the weekend of Apr 18 is out, as I have two NoCo gigs (Ft. C and Greeley) that weekend. Gonna have to stay put for those.

Captain_Arrrg · #97 02-26-2009, 01:51 PM

So April 25?

And maybe a list of who's coming (add yourself if you are indeed coming, or take you name off if I jumped the gun [except for HaPpYfAcE]). Also, if you're bringing something, put it next to your name:

1. HaPpYfAcE - GenzBenz Shuttle 6.0, Gallien-Krueger neo 212, *maybe* Lakland 55-02
2. jrug
3. fivestringgecko - [Bass], Shuttle 6.0/Avatar 2x10 rig, Barge Concepts Grinder, Keeley Mod Sparkle Drive, Stereo Electric Mistress
4. fretlessman71
5. Captain_Arrrg - Spector NS-2H5, EHX BBM, devi ever Bit
6. Jeff Martinez
7. joeinsprings - Dunlop 105Q, QTron+, Messdrive, SMMWH, SABBDI, Gemini, B:ASSMASTER, Pickle Pie, Prometheus
8. Headle
9. derrellvis69 - Zon Sonus Custom 5, PJB Suitcase + 4B
10. Eggman - Bongo basses, Wav EUB, PJB Flightcase
11. metron - SVT, NV 610, G&L, Bassdrive

If you want to request someone bring something, ask them. They may not want to move their rig or whatever, but it doesn't hurt to ask!

jrug · #98 02-26-2009, 01:55 PM

It's kind of a tie right now between the 18th and the 25th from the responses I've gotten so far.

Joe Gress · #99 02-26-2009, 02:01 PM

1. HaPpYfAcE
2. jrug
3. fivestringgecko
4. fretlessman71
5. Captain_Arrrg - Spector NS-2H5, EHX BBM, devi ever Bit
6. Jeff Martinez
7. joeinsprings - Dunlop 105Q, QTron+, Messdrive, SMMWH, SABBDI, Gemini, B:ASSMASTER, Pickle Pie, Prometheus
