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.

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.... |

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

Forum Administrator | | Join Date: Mar 2000 Location: atlanta ga | | | 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.

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. |

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.

Hindsight, welcome to talkbass, glad to see another Atlanta-area guy on the board. Look forward to meeting you at the next shindig.
