Only two strings away from an attitude problem.
Mike, it's hard to believe it's been that long, but it has, and we've been through a lot together. I've still got your back, buddy. 
Good luck on the gig - you'll do fine! You've got this.
On the CWB GTG - it's far too long overdue. I volunteer my house for it! But if Atlanta doesn't suit, just let me know the when and where with enough advance notice to schedule the time off from work.

The guitarist for this band gave me some CDs of them practicing, honestly it was pretty rough. A lot of it I think was the drummer's fault. He was very tentative on a lot of the songs, he didn't drive the band.
Yesterday we practiced and rolled through all three sets. There are some things that we need to work on of course, but overall it went pretty well.
I played pretty straight, not showy at all, but apparently I blew them away. The guitarist said that losing their drummer could be the best thing that ever happened to them.
There were a couple of songs where the singer turned around before we started them and said, "I can't wait to hear you play this!"
That was sort of cool.
A CWB get together? Yeah, that would be pretty cool.
I talked to Jackie and we could host it as well. Georgia would be cool too. (I mean warm...)

I think we could probably pull it off but for now keep us on the 'alternative - last-resort' list.
Actually, Pittsburgh is reasonably centrally located for many of the active players in this little community -- or at least, the "East Coast" contingent... Atlanta would be fine too - haven't been to that part of the world for a long while.
So far my travel time is pretty flexible. Joy is changing jobs and I have no idea how long it'll be before she has any vacation time accrued.
This could be pretty cool.
Besides jamming and hanging at our house I'm betting that we could host a jam at my friend's local bar. (Eight blocks away from the house.) I have the gear and enough singer/guitarist that I work with to make it fun.

Don't forget that Crow, Tat, Joy and I are all serious foodies.
I believe that with playing, cooking, eating, and drinking we'll have all four major activity groups covered...
Cooking, eating, yes we are about that as well.
We put a gourmet kitchen in this old house too.
These pictures were taken before all of the trim work was done, but you get the idea.

I could cook in that kitchen if you and Jackie would let me.
I'm not much of a foodie (I'm more of an eating spaghettios straight from the can sort of girl), but I'm down for a gtg at Mike's. It's an easy drive for me, so as long as the timing/ schedule works, I'm in. 
Jackie is excited about this! (As am I of course...)
Besides hanging here, I also run a small online drum forum.

I'm going to see if some drummers want to hang as well.
We were thinking of maybe June. Would that give you folks enough time?

Our wonderful dog Bridget passed away early this morning. Words cannot express how much we are going to miss her. Our hearts are broken.
Mike, we're so sorry for your loss.
We do get so attached to them, don't we...
You have had quite the roller-coaster ride this year.
