I did a GTG in Atlanta at a venue (the FiveSpot) back in 2004 and the great thing is that it was during the day, clinics, jam sessions and it had a full bar! The only down side is that outside folks were able to come in and steal a bass that is laying out on display.
I'd be all for a GTG with this format. However, we'd need more time to get it together. If the group is interested in this, we can push the GTG out to late May or June, and work on expanding the format. That is, if the group here is interested.
Thoughts?
