craigslist

so i put an ad out saying I wanted to jam on craiglist. an hour later I had two emails replying to my ad.

one was a band, which may or may not be a band i want to play with and another was a guy from AK who's moving down.

so far so good, right?


anyone with any experience with craigslist want to share their stories, good or bad?
 
I've had some good luck with on line postings similar to Craigslist. Be prepared to have to sift through a fair share of idiots though. You have an advantage in that you just want to jam because there are plenty of people in your boat. It's much more difficult to find a good paying gig with music you dig and cool people.
