Hey all, this club is for guys who only join established, working bands and shun start-ups. Let's show our love for sliding into a working project without having to slog through all the start-up hassles!
YEAH!! 
Take your own number, any except #1, it's already taken.  |

If you aren't a known quantity around the local community of established players, I'll just as soon wait until you are.

|  | Yeah, I've got the moves like Jagger. | | Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: G.R. MI | | | Look, I think this thread has potential, but the OP is just bringing it down. I know a great OP that's looking for a side project.
I'm in if you dump the original OP, and go with my buddy.

I was a mercenary for too long playing in bands for the dough, with no care for what the music was. Besides, I'm now in two start-up projects. No drama yet.
