SF / Bay Area / Nor CA GTG??? - Page 3

i also wouldn't mind doing a get together. it seems that the problem has been competing schedules, and geographic preferences.

personally, i would go any where in the bay area, but prefer places i can get to by bart or cal train. (although driving on the weekend is not out of the question)

i dont have the room to host, but i do know a place in san francisco we could rent for ~$65/3.5 hours. there is a 20 person limit, but it has a stage, and plenty of room for equipment, and we can play as loud as we want. parking is not ideal, however. i know this is not a great option, but it is an option none-the-less.

I'm interested. I'll be out of town (Las Vegas) and most likely will not be checking TB until the 22nd.

I've thought about getting us this venue in Oakland:

http://www.21grand.org/

It would cost $200 to get the place for a Saturday but it's huge, I know the owners (kinda) and we can do practically anything we want (order pizza, beer, etc).

I'd be willing to cover the cost and try to recover some of it with donations from the participants.

The idea would be to make it a GTG and a kinda solo bass thing where anyone who wanted could get on stage and play some solo stuff and we could perhaps have some more organized performances in the evening and multi-bassist jams.

Just some thoughts I was kicking around.

pierce, were you talking about Lennon Studios? Secret Studios also has/had a space that might work.

I'm finally finished with grad school so my schedule has opened up. I'd be happy to do any arranging/emailing that would help and I could chip in money for a venue too.

OK, Let's talk dates. How about a Saturday in July?

I'm interested, however depending on the commute to where ever the location shall be is the only thing that has me pending.

yes, i was referring to lennon, to the showcase room in specific. i didnt realize that secret had a room also (refresh my memory, is secret the other one in soma, or the one off of ceasar chavez in bayshore?)

Secret is the one off Chavez. Haven't played there in a few years so the room/stage might've changed. No better than Lennon, although there's more street parking...nothing around it though. I have a couple of additional ideas that I can look into as well.

21 Grand sounds like a good idea too.

Wouldn't mind playing through some Accugrooves again either.
