I just had two of my CL ads flagged and removed for the same thing.
And chick in my ads had some cloths on.

I released the Houston Squier ad to the universe, it's on it's own now...

I just wanted to post it up, and this was the first thread that came up. I guess we need screen shots while it's still up?

That's a gem... at least in Los Angeles they'll have a full picking of 'non-full time musicians'. However having a job too might be a tough demand.

I got a kick out of this one that just came up a few days ago in Minneapolis.

http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/ws...569198731.html

Bass player who wants to play (Twin Cities)
Middle age, rock genre, I can play lots of stuff or learn it quickly, I do more improvising than note for note. I am looking for something different, maybe originals /cool covers, I'm not looking to get into a working cover band since I would rather play for myself and fellow band members and if we are any good people will like us, I can and will dedicate time and effort if the right situation comes along.
Below is a list of songs and bands that I want to stay away from and if any of these are on your set list, just hit the back button and lighten up Francis, I mean no offense, it just makes it easier for everyone.
I do not want to play in a tribute band or pay homage to any band
