    Getting Gigs (In Pittsburgh)

    I was going to mention the same places. I know though that the Bloomfield Bridge Tavern is absolutely OVER 21. Pittsburgh is an interesting town to gig in, that's for sure.

    Being single again

    I'm going through a divorce right now too. Luckily for me, it's very civil and friendly... well as far as divorces go. Today would've been our 8 year wedding anniversary. Life sucks, but it does go on. Keep your head up brother.

    9/11 stories. Anyone care to share?

    I was sitting at work at my office when I got an email from my Mom saying a plane hit one of the towers. Like most people I assumed a small plane and I didn't think much of it. A few minutes later she emailed me again saying another plane hit and she that they were both commercial airliners...

    Going to Shows and Concerts.

    I used to go to shows all the time before ticket prices got so steep. I remember when $30 for a Lollapalooza ticket seemed like a lot. I miss the early 90s.

    Your House is on Fire! Which Bass do you grab on the way out ??

    I'm also a firefighter and glad to see the other guys agree. Get out and STAY out. Other than a human life (or pet) nothing is worth risking your life over. A house can flash over in an instant and you'll never see it coming.

    $75 or we'll let your house burn down

    I can see both sides of this. But... as a firefighter, this sickens me.

    Ideas For Putting On a Benefit Show

    My band played a huge benefit a few months ago for a bartender in my town that was shot and spent 6 months in the hospital. One of the most successful events I've ever been part of. 10 bands throughout the day, donated catered food, $20 per person to get in, silent auctions, pool tourney, bean...

    Any bass playing firefighters here?

    That's awesome guys ! I'm relatively new to the fire service, I joined last year when I was laid off from my engineering job and I can't figure out why I didn't do this sooner in life (I'm 35). I live next door to the fire station and most of my friends have been volunteers there for years. I...

    Any bass playing firefighters here?

    Hey all, I did a quick search and didn't see anything on the subject. Just curious as to any other TB brethren are also firefighters? Either career or volunteer.
