Being back in Colorado, one of my goals was to get some music stuff going. I did post myself on Craigslist and got numerous responses. Last week one of my roommates and I met up with a mandolin/banjo/guitar singer-songwriter and jammed for a few hours and that was a good time. This week I met up with a whole band.
I went by myself and let several people know exactly where I was going and at what time they should assume I was dead if I hadn't contacted them - Craigslist can be scary! Anyway, when I arrived they were all really great guys. Some of them as stereotypical musicians, to be sure - not focused, in their own world, etc - but all in the sake of music.
The one girl that showed up later on even commented on how scary it can be to meet people on Craigslist and how I was pretty brave (and she was probably also thinking "stupid") to meet them. Even so, I had a good night laughing at their interactions and just jamming along with their songs. They seemed excited to get some gigs and a CD going so hopefully there might even be a little money, but I'm just really thankful the meeting went well and I came out alive.
