SK Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Another Mid-Atlantic KC forum hang is in the works as discussed here: https://forums.musicplayer.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/2406365#Post2406365 So far, definite attendees are ITGITC, learjeff, ProfD, and (Guest Of Honor) gangsu! Whoever comes to this is going to have fun. It's also probably the last MAKCFH I could make, since I'm moving out of the area. The tentative date for the event is July 5th. All Mid-Atlantic forumites are invited, starting with THESE guys: http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y170/gangsu/kc_hang_15.jpg Hope many of you can make it. OK, so... who's in?

SK Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 And as mentioned in the other thread, I think Wabi-Sabi would be great for the hang since it has the same casual atmosphere of Legends Brewery, a big stage and a good PA already there. It's in the basement bar (with food), a nice sized room (all wood and brick), with far better acoustics than Legends. It's "old towne" Petersburg... a straight shot down I-95, under 20 miles S of Richmond, maybe 3 minutes off the exit. It's a pretty easy load-in IF you guys want to bring your keyboards for a jam. My July 5th gig there starts at 8, so there will be very few people in the place until then. I also spoke with the band's drummer - he'd be glad to play with the jam if it happens. If folks decide NOT to make it a jam, it's the perfect spot for a social hang... the downside being you guys would have to see me play a humble fusion gig, or as I consider it, my 'karma reduction therapy'. The band does display the talents of electric bassist Keith Horne (featured in a Bass Player magazine article last month.) You guys just let me know how this sounds to you. If everyone's cool with it, I'll call the place and set it up for July 5th, say around 6 or 7PM. If not, we can still do Legends, which stevieb could set up.

JeffLearman Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Ouch, July 5th? That's a big holiday weekend. Probably no can do. Also, the week of June 27 is out, as it's my 25th wedding anniversary. Probably won't get full credit if I sneak off with a bunch of keyboard players. Edit: well, it's not on a weekend at all, so I'd have to take a day off work.

SK Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 Yeah, whether it's just before July 4th or after, that holiday impacts the week... I'm also trying to coordinate with gangsu's window. A few days later might work - we'll figure something out. Whatever is decided, I do hope you and plenty others can make it. But even if it's just a more quiet gathering with ProfD, Tom, gangsu and myself, that would be nice too.

ProfD Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 July 5th is right after the holiday but I may be able to swing it. An alternative date would be better.

I suck at making plans. How about the 1st or the 8th of July? Why don't we ask linwood. Now that would be a hang! "........! Try to make It..REAL! compared to what? ! ! !

ProfD Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Hey Linwood, come on back come on back to your "hometown" area for the Hang mayne. Sue, the 1st or 8th of July is a good alternative date even though it may not coincide with SK's gig. If SK feels the need to play, we can move the Hang to Guitar Center and have brunch/dinner afterwards. PD "The greatest thing you'll ever learn, is just to love and be loved in return."--E.

SK Posted April 26, 2012 Author Share Posted April 26, 2012 Brunch at Guitar Center: one of my greatest fantasies. Playing at Guitar Center though is not. It doesn't have to be a jam - it's whatever everybody wants. Let's find a date that works for everyone first.

Griffinator Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I could do the 8th. Petersburg = much easier trip for me and the wife than DC. A bunch of loud, obnoxious music I USED to make with friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Hey guys, I would not want to miss this! Unfortunately, I'll be on vacation on July 5th, but I think the 8th would work. If most everyone opts for the 5th, I'll just have to live vicariously through the pics or maybe you can skype me into it. SK, you're a good man for taking the first step to plan this!!!

Mike Martin Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 What about a Summer NAMM hang?

SK Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 Since July 8 seems the most popular for a hang, I left a message for the owner at Wabi Sabi to check on that date. I'll post when I hear back. And stevieb, if you read this, maybe you could check on Legends too. Mike Martin, Summer NAMM should be fun for those who can make it. Unfortunately, I can't.

Markyboard Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I know I'm currently scheduled to work in LA on Jul 4 but I believe I'm back before Jul 8.

I'll post when I hear back. And stevieb, if you read this, maybe you could check on Legends too. I can check on Legends when I get back in town. It would be great to catch up. Wabi Sabi also sounds like a good venue. Maybe between the two us us we can secure one or the other. My band mates frequent Wabi Sabi and have mentioned some really good jazz cats there recently. Figures SK has been in the mix. SK, any chance Kip my come by. http://www.suggestingrhythm.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SK Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 Thanks for chiming in, Steve. I'm still waiting to hear from Wabi Sabi, but it would be good if you could check on Legends as a backup for July 8, just in case. I want to see what I can work out with Wabi Sabi, as it's not the usual weekly night I play there. And it may work out for Kip to join us. I'll post when I know more. Glad so many forumites can make it. CD: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/stevekessler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SK Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 OK, Wabi Sabi is procured for July 8th. The downstairs is closed on Sunday nights, but they will open it for us and have the bar open. Or... the upstairs is open and renovated with a new stage. I'll take a look at that the next time I play there to decide whether upstairs or down is better. The only things left are to pick a time (I'm thinking early evening, like maybe 7:00 ), and should it be a jam? If it is, either floor will have the stage for it. So I'll throw it back to the forum to decide. CD: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/stevekessler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoahZark Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Since I'll be rolling down from DC and facing a 2+ hour drive home on a work night, I'd love to gather earlier in the day than 7:00 pm. Still, I'll find a way to make it work regardless of the time that gets set. Will be good to see everyone again. Noah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SK Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 No problem Noah. Once we settle on a time everyone can make, I'll tell the club. CD: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/stevekessler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markyboard Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Don't plan around me as my work schedule is very tentative right now. However my preference would be way earlier - noon or as close to it as possible. Again - that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SK Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 Thanks Markyboard. What if we say 1:00? Anybody? CD: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/stevekessler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
