well hell yeah! glad everyone's is down. and most of the locals i was going to PM responded before i even got the chance.
I'm free this weekend, Friday or Saturday and i would probably just be down at my space anyway, so I would be fine with using it for a meeting spot the first time around for sure, so we aren't walking around a bar like crazy people asking everyone "hey do you read tapeop?" the only downside about my spot is that drinking is questionable (but not out of the question, just wouldn't be a good idea if we had 15 drunk people making a shit ton of noise and spilling beer all over expensive set pieces) since the ballet has an ABC license it could mess things up if the wrong person decides to show up and work some late weekend hours, i've got a lot of leeway that allows me to do what i do here so i don't want to mess that up, i'm sure you understand. But capital ale house is in walking distance, and anything in the fan, broad street/jackson ward or in the bottom are about 5 to 10 minutes away, so options options options.
i'd rather not make this super structured, i think everyone should feel free to bring what ever to it. recordings, gear, instruments, what have you, just let things advance as they will. if you want opinions on something you are working on, sweet! or if you just want to chill, sweet! i've got a lot of instruments down here as well so impromptu rocking out is not out of the question either. my recording setup is nothing fancy, it does what i need it to do and it's decent for listening, but don't expect absolute perfection from my space that is free, and made out of scrap wood, and definitely not dead quiet, but do expect fun and character.
and hell yeah, if you know someone that might not frequent the boards but would be all about a meeting of the minds, invite them by all means.
and hey wren you should definitely show up if you can, it'd be good to see you again, are you still doing stuff at PVCC?
i definitely second the feeling that a lot of us are all kind of doing our own awesome shit and would indeed benefit from bouncing ideas around.
so who's free fri/sat?
