DC/VA/MD Get Together?

[dancehallclasher]

Crap, sorry for arriving so late to this pre-party! I'm very much into a GTG. I can't host (townhouse) but can bring basses and/or rig. A jam might be fun so long as y'all pay attention to everybody but me.

sweet! i'm dying to try out, well, all of your basses. esp. the RB5.

 

[Philbiker]

Wow $175 - that's pretty steep. $17.50 each for ten of us with no munchies assuming ten show up. Compared to my house (maybe $10 each to bring sodas/beer/veggie tray/whatever) that's steep. I vote for my house, but I'd be happy to be outvoted.

Yes, they have grilles there we could have a big cookout if we want. That could not happen at my house since I would want to attend the event instead of just standing by the grille all day.

So far Aug 1 is the day when most people are available, but July 24 is pretty good.

More replies please!

 

[Mud Flaps]

July 24 is better than August 1 for me, but my chances are becoming slimmer and slimmer as I go along anyway.

 

[muggsy]

Right now any of those dates work for me. I hosted one of these in Atlanta and attended several others, and having it at somebody's house always worked well. I'm more into checking out gear than jamming, but if I'm around, I'd like to attend. I can bring basses and my rig if it's needed.

damn, 24th is out for me, I forgot I'm gonna be up in Baltimore all day.

 

[newbie16]

hey guys. i think id like to come if you decide on jamming. i've never really heard any good bass playing and i figure it would be a great way to really get me into it by hearing some of you guys with years of experience play. im only 14 (and a girl) so id have to bring my dad heh. err.. hope that wouldnt be a problem, but if it is then that's fine!

thanks!

-the newb

PS- happy to chip in with $ or food.

 

[Osama_Spears]

Gee,As much as I'd love to hang out with a bunch of strangers I never met.... I think Ima stay home that day


have fun guys(and girls[newb16])

 

[jim primate]

if i can hitch a ride w/ infect, i'll go.

 

[Fuzzbass]

The main goal is to meet fellow TBers. Checking out gear will also be fun and valuable. If a jam happens that's cool: as newbie16 said, I look forward to hearing some genuinely talented musicians play (I'm just a bass player, heh).

I promise to use mouthwash!

 

[dancehallclasher]

what we'd NEED is a good drummer, if there was going to be jamming going on.

 

[Nick Gann]

I don't know about any organized jamming. When I originally said that, I meant more along the lines of just messing around, playing each others gear, showing off however we wanted to, just having a good time. I didn't necessarily mean having an organized performance or anything like that. That said, if you guys want to do that, it will still be awesome. I just wanted to make clear that wasn't my intention.

 

[Nick Gann]

But hey, if some of us can get our drummers and a guitarist or two to tag along, then I don't see why not

 

[Nick Gann]

Should I bring my tuba?

 

[dancehallclasher]

Should I bring my tuba?

only if it's a tuba cookie dough.

 

[Philbiker]

Tuba's cool. I'll decide on a date in a couple days. The primary reason will just be to get together and hang out an play with gear. A drummer or guitarist would be cool but the real thing is to really meet the people we talk with on talkbass.

 

[newbie16]

hmmm.. well, in that case, you know.. i havent been here that long or talked to you guys much and my parents might be a bit skeptical about it, so i think i'll pass. you guys have a great time!

 

[Osama_Spears]

welp...if newbie is out,i'm out

Too bad you guys can't have it in my crib,however my room is no bigger than this IM window

 

[Philbiker]

It appears according to my calculations that August 1 is the best day for this event, and it will happen at my house. We'll go something like 1:00PM - 6PM.

All who wish to come, please email me for directions and other important information.

 

[Nick Gann]

I'd be willing to be the food organizer person. We can put together a list of things that should be brought to the party, and then people can PM me with what they want to bring.

Lets see...:

Beverages

• soda
• ice
• cups
• hooch?

Food

• veggie tray and dip
• chips and dip/salsa
• cheese and cracker type tray
• potato/macaroni salad
• deli platter/meat?
• bread for deli sammiches?
• condiments (mayo, mustard, ketchup, tomato, lettuce, onion)?
• plates
• plasticware
• sweets for after?

Anything on here thats no good? Anything to add?

I know there won't be so many people that we will need to bring all those types of food, but this is just some of the stuff we could possibly bring.
