SF / Bay Area / Nor CA GTG???

pierce · #1 07-31-2006, 02:27 PM

I know that smperry was talking about this back in may, but i think it got shelved due to schedule conflicts. i wouldnt mind meeting everyone in the area, preferably prior to the school semester cranking off.

who else is interested?
what date/ day of the week work/dont work?
where would be a good place to meet?
what type of gtg should it be?
who is good at planning, and would be willing to coordinate this?

im not really good at planning, and i dont know where the bulk of tb'ers in this area are located. i also dont know where the best place to do this. personally, im thinking rogue ale house, or renting the sound studio for 3-6 hours at lennon studios and making it byob/f/g. both are here in sf, cause that the only area I really know. (i am willing to go whereever most of the tb'ers live.) does soemone have a big house and is willing to host? is there a music store that has a meeting room?

anyway, opinions???

no takers or interest?

(was there a gtg this summer i wasnt aware of?)

Sounds good to me. Maybe we can use the Freight & Salvage Coffee House where we had our Solo Bass Night last May. Perhaps they can rent it out to us for the afternoon. They're a non-profit organization so they likely wouldn't charge us much.

Gotta go. I'll post more on this later.

Now with dave being intrested what would you call it?

Dave: are you guys planning on doing the solo night again any time soon? I really wanted to go to the last one but didnt have any gas, how did it go anyway?

Cheers

We're doing a Solo Bass Night at the Larkspur Cafe Theater in San Rafael on December 7th. It will be Edo Castro, me, Jean Baudin and Jeff Schmidt. We'll be advertising it here at TalkBass with another banner ad a month before the show.

I'd like to book another one with Michael Manring in Berkeley again though. That'll probably sometime early next year.

violatedppl · #16 08-09-2006, 12:12 AM

I would be down, kinda been out of playing for a few months. def. have a smaller rig now but a GTG would be nice

mstott25 · #17 08-12-2006, 11:36 PM

I'd definitely be down. I'm a little drive from San Francisco, I'm in Monterey, but it would be real nice to get together with some other bassists.

Are there any TB members around the San Jose, Santa Cruz, or even Seaside/Monterey area????

pierce · #18 09-07-2006, 09:19 AM

ok, looks like FretFree has picked up the ball on this

Sac/Bay/Stockton GTG?

Bob Lee (QSC) · #19 09-07-2006, 10:45 AM

I'll be in SF from about October 4 to October 10. It would be cool to get together with some fellow TBers.

**Blackbird** · #20 09-07-2006, 03:18 PM

Folks, We have a GTG Forum now. If i'm not very much mistaken, there's a thread on this very subject there.

I'm down for a Bay area GTG, time permitting.
