The GtG is tomorrow!
It's not too late to come. Even if you can't RSVP for sure, feel free to show up last minute and hang with us.
For those wishing to take public transportation (green line Kedize stop is close) but not comfortable to walking for 6 blocks by Garfield Park, arrangements can be made to meet you at the EL. If you need a lift (from home or EL) pm someone from the list below who noted as as offering rides.
The third annual Chicago talkbass Gtg will be Sunday April 14th
2-6PM
@ Serek Basses
2950 W Caroll
Ring for Serek at the intercom by the big green door.
Right now I am looking for attendees who can bring (in rough order of prioirity):
-Themselves early
-Someone to bring markers and name tags.
At the GTG you can look forward too:
-Free Admission!
-A jam corner with a drumkit (drums already provided)
-A side room for trying out gear in a slightly quieter environment.
-Lots of TalkBassers to chat with and gear to try out.
-Snacks and drinks provided by attendees
-Day-of there will be $10 buy-in for food, probably pizza (maybe Lou's) and salad to be delivered.
-Jake Serek and Tim Seisser will be leading a discussion on luthiery.
-Some excellent Serek basses will be available to try out including a few that will probably be quite new to you all...
-Serek luthiers will be on hand for $30 setups if desired.
A few guidelines and suggestions:
-Please RSVP if possible so I know what to expect, but if you will only know last-minute, please come anyway!
-Folks outside of Talkbass are welcome. If you promote the word outside of TB let me know where and -if possible- who else will be coming.
-Due to the overlap in spaces, only small amps please. I want to see lots of amps and basses, however, we don't have a space where we can blast amps as last year and we want to be respectful of Serek's neighbors.
-Jake has generously said that other local luthiers and possibly other music product makers are welcome to come and show their wares. I don't want this to become a flea market though so if you are one and would like to do so, please PM me first for details.
-Any attendee is welcome to put a price tag on an instrument they bring or some note that it is available for sale.

Helping out family and getting helped out in return. But missing some things about Chicago, including the awesome TB'ers such as yourself!
