Just my luck, I only look at TB every once in several blue moons and I just miss a meetup! Maybe my timing will be better for the next one.

Any of you local players know of any church or stage/dance band gig openings? I’m looking for a new playing situation.
Praying that my bass playing brothers and sisters and families are all doing well and weathered theses storms!
Any if you know of church or stage/dance band playing situation that needs a bass player? Let me know.
I've started a Facebook group called "Atlanta Bass Players." We have a lot of professional, Grammy award winning/nominated artists, etc. in the community. We are planning a podcast, bass hangs, clinics, etc. The groups is really limited to Georgia musicians. Please come on over if you use that social media platform.
We feature a local bassist every week, music with great bass lines, and great conversation.

I've been working hard behind the scenes trying to establish a community. What are your thoughts on some of the recent changes that have been made in an attempt to get more interaction?
I would love to join in on the festivities at this location, but alter retiring in 2015 from 15 years of driving up there to the Macy’s Systems and Technology buildings from my south of ATL home, that trip is not something I want to do now.
That said, I hope you guys and gals have a hell of a good time fellowshipping!

Yeah I'm thinkin you got the name wrong. It should be "Alpharetta Bass Player's Hang."

A) It's tough to find a venue that will donate a room to you for free.
B) This is the first of many events. The goal is to gauge participation, then at some point, charge a fee for the event to pay national artists to attend
C) No-one else has gone through the hassle of trying to do something similar, so.... beggars can't be choosers?
We'll continue to move forward...
Sure, all valid.
I'll choose to go when Atlanta Bass Players does a Bass Hang in Atlanta.
Also, this isn't just a Joe-shmoe get together. We really do have national artists that are attending. I was talking with Victor Wooten a few weeks ago. He even offered to come down once this is a regular event.
But that's okay. I respect your choice.
Cool man, I really just hate driving OTP.
I rarely get out of the Decatur-Kirkwood-O4W-Midtown area.
And I regret coming off snarky when you're trying to get a good thing going.
@ProbablyTooLoud, honest question. how much would you be willing to play to help cover the cost of a venue in Atlanta proper?
Atlanta covers a lot of ground! Looking forward to meeting up with everyone who can make it. @Nightman thanks for coming out and hearing me play a tear or so ago.
First time, with no real idea what to expect, and no big names? $10.
A big name could get me to $25 depending on first impressions re. organization, vibe, yadda yadda.
