Informal jam Vancouver, BC, Canada

[Kerry Brown]

On another forum I’m organizing an informal jam in January or February. Players of all instruments, ability, ages are welcome. Message me if you are interested and I’ll keep you up to date on the plans. It will be on a Saturday or Sunday, somewhere in the greater Vancouver area in a rented rehearsal space. It will be followed by a dinner at a bar or restaurant. It would be great to meet some Strat-Talkers in person, play some music, and drink some beverages afterward.

I’m a definite maybe…

Sounds like a fantastic get together. With a border crossing, that would be an overnighted for me

Wish I could make it. I have only been to Canada twice. I would love to live there, in Victoria.

Hey Kerry, my buddy Bruce, who you met, and I are interested for sure.
My friend plays bass and also hand drums.

 

[Kerry Brown]

I haven't had a lot of interest in this. I'm going to pick a date, Sunday, February 19. I will need at least a couple of people to commit and I will book a studio.

Regrets. I'm working or I'd be there.

I’m glad you added Vancouver BC, CANADA .. the Americans can struggle with geography so you really gotta be specific.

You do realize that there is a Vancouver in Washington. Yes?

feb 19 is far enough away i could plan for it ... trying to get to Victoria more often... been kind of neglecting family there- so getting to Van isnt the hardest thing in the world... just need to make it happen.

I can't travel, but Vancouver is cool. I lived there a year studying animation. Ah, the footloose and fancy free days!

Well maybe it’s because I’m Canadian but I expect Vancouver, BC to be enough..that’s a province within Canada..You wouldn’t say Los Angeles, California, United States of America. Sounds unnecessarily specific. Lol

Bumping this up to keep it in mind. Looking at different studios. Has anyone used Pandora Studios? It is quite central. The rooms look good on their website.

First thing in the new year I'll be booking the studio. Reminder it's Sunday, Feb. 19. All levels of players invited. If you drum or play bass you are needed. If you don't, invite someone who does. I can struggle through on bass if needed but I'm hopeless on drums. Some keys would be nice as well

 

[Kerry Brown]

Bump to the top.

I’m going to book the studio next week. It’s on a Sunday. I was thinking noon until 5:00 PM. That should give us a little more than four hours of playing time. Does anyone have any other ideas? Too long? Not long enough? Too early to start?

The studio is booked for Sunday Feb 19 from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM.

Hope to see some people from Strat-Talk there. There is a drum kit, PA, bass amp, and two 4x12 guitar cabs supplied with the room. Rental gear is available. I will bring a couple of spare guitars and amps you can borrow. Nothing fancy, a Quilter 101R (should be very nice with one of the 4 x12's), an old 100 watt Peavey Bandit, an SG, an Epiphone Dot, a Yamaha LL 16M with a LR Baggs DI, Tokai PBass, three microphones. You are welcome to bring your own gear.

There is free parking, several restaurants close by. It will be a fun afternoon.

Unfortunately I don't think I can afford the bus fare.

Sounds like a good time, a certain ocean (the Atlantic kind) will prevent me from making it though, sadly Y’all have fun though and post some pics please!

Bump to remind everyone this is happening Feb 19. Let me know if you are planning to attend. If you want to play any songs list them here. Or we can just jam. Still looking for another drummer and another bass. Bring your gear or borrow some of mine.
