Canada Toronto Ont. GTG......

#41
The New England GTG on Nov 5th is running from 11am to 6pm. I don't think we'll get the 40 person count that they are getting. I'm hoping we'll get at least 25 so maybe we could do 11am to 4pm?
If someone is able to contact the music stores & schools perhaps they would put up a poster promoting the GTG. Maybe a music store would even sponser the event?

Well, I am new to the TB world and would really be interested in attending a GTG. I won't be able to attend in January but would be able to work with the March 24 date brought forward on page 2. It would be awesome to hook up with some other bass players and check out some gear/rig options. I am particularly interested in Steve's TC 112 and other smaller rigs.

I sure don't expect the group to move based on my preference.

If the timing works out, I will definitely be there.

What I'll do today is book Saturday, January 14 from 2pm - 6pm at Cherry Street Studios (33 Viliers Street). It's in downtown TO off of Lakeshore Blvd. (right off the DVP).

Our last 2 GTG were 3 hours so 4 hours should be more than enough time to try out gear, talk, learn technique, stories, and play tunes.

I tend to be the one taking all the pictures and video so I'll bring my gear for that.

What would help is that people confirm they are going. The last one we did had around a dozen guys show up.

Sounds good. I'm marking Jan 14th in my calendar. Once you book Cherry Street, why don't you start a list of everyone that says they'll attend. Good way to keep track and maybe get more interest.

My experience has shown that if you want to book an event that working musicians will attend, you had best book a Sunday afternoon. Don't you guys play gigs Saturday nights?

You do make a good point but let me refer you to the very successful New England GTG:

If people drive in from a distance, Sunday might not be the best either.
Anyone else with thoughts on this?
