Hey. Wanna Come Over and Listen to Music aka The Bay Area Record Club Thread

[greghead]

On a more serious note, Cara, how does Tuesday work for everybody? Figure we start in the late afternoon/early evening and go until Jennie puts her foot down and tells you all to get the fuck out.

I'll send out an e-mail and see who all we can get to show up and get down.

[fatbastard]

I will be traveling to SF next year sometime and would enjoy listening to a couple of albums. I'm willing to bring over a couple of Patrick Cowley 12 inch records to reminisce San Francisco's forefather of electronic music.

[fikus222]

I work until 5pm, so late afternoon-early evening doesn't really work for me on weekdays

[greghead]

Where do you work? Come by after, we'll be around.

[fikus222]

Cool, I work in SFs City Hall.

[greghead]

Oh dude, yeah, definitely come on by. Cara didn't even come over the other week until 5:30 and we still got in nearly four hours of strong listening.

[fikus222]

Sounds great. I'll PM you my email address.

[guedita]

Yesssssss

[greghead]

So far for Tuesday we have Cara, Eric (Fikus), myself, and my friend Vicky.

We're meeting Tuesday evening in Outer Sunset in SF, get at me if you can make it/want to come.

[guedita]

I'm bringing brie and goat cheese and grapes.

[greghead]

Fuck yeah, good call. Me and grapes go way back.

[bballarl]

I can't make it this week because I have to get some recording done after work. Have an especially good time without me!

[Ledepic]

Damn, just saw this. I live in the Fillmore. I wanna come next time! Sounds like a great idea!

[greghead]

I can't make it this week because I have to get some recording done after work. Have an especially good time without me!

Ah, bummer. I don't know if we'll have an especially good time without you, but we'll certainly do our best.

[PassiveTheory]

I can't make this week's meeting because I'm in So Cal until the 30th. I'll know which ones I can make once I get my work schedule, but if any other boardies from SC (I swear to god there's at least three more) want to carpool for this, I would be more than down.*

*Note: I do not have a car.

[Vasoline Groove]

Looks like l missed this go. But I would love to make the next one. I got a crap ton of funky old house records.

[fikus222]

Due to full schedules, tonight was canceled. There will be other opportunities

[algunz]

This is a great idea, and when I make it up North in the next few months I'll be sure to make an appearance.

(Are kids welcome? I have to assure you that Izzy is the coolest kid you'll ever meet so don't panic. But if we're traveling, she'll be in tow.)

[greghead]

I love children, they're quite tasty.

I don't have a problem with kids, so I'm cool with it but not everyone is as comfortable with chillun as I am. Let's play it by ear and see what happens.

[greghead]

AND, to answer your PM, I used the gift cert to pick up Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.

[guedita]

Izzy FO SHO

[greghead]

I'm off today, tomorrow, and Wednesday. I have nothing to do but drink and listen to a stack of 53 records I picked out of my collection this morning (plus whatever fancy strikes over my weekend).

Anybody who wants to swing by at any point over the next few days and rock the fuck out is welcome to do so.

[greghead]

So I lost some e-mail addresses because I'm an idiot. So here's a copy of what I just sent out.

Greetings All,



No, I did not forget about this, I just procrastinate. Anyway, it's time for us to finally get together and jam some tunes. As some of you know, I work the graveyard shift during the weekends, which is when the vast majority of you are off from work and really hinders our getting together. So, what works well for everybody? We can meet during the afternoon on Saturday or Sunday, I'll just kick you out when I have to get ready for work. Probably early afternoon to 8 or so. Naturally, feel free to come and go at any time.



OR



We can try to do an weekday evening meeting again, since at least a few of you work in the city and won't be going too far out of your way. But I am aware that's a fucking journey from East Bay, especially after work with traffic and overflowing public transportation.



So what works for you guys, what's good? We'll go with whatever works the best with the most people. I want to do it this weekend or the coming week, though I know it is very short notice for everybody and playoff football blah blah blah. Get at me if you want to do this, I'll host if even just one person comes over.



E-mail me back here or on the board

[greghead]

I'm serious, assholes, let me know when we can do this.

[guedita]

week nights work best for me, because I usually work during the day on the weekends.

[greghead]

Ok, so weeknights are best for you and I. EDIT: And Dark Justice as well

Weeknight: 3

Weekend Day: 0

Come on, voters, polls are still open. Democracy.

[Courtney]

Every time this thread gets bumped, I quietly curse the Pacific Ocean.

[greghead]

You can join us, Courtney, just hop on a plane and come over . . .


Now, since no one actually got back to me except Cara and a couple others, I'm setting up this next meeting based solely upon our preference to meet in the evening during the week.

How does Tuesday or Wednesday work for folks? I'll host if even one person wants to come over and chill out for a minute or two (looking in your direction, Cara and Eric). I know Wednesdays are not good for Eric, though, so I'm leaning towards Tuesday. Plus, Jennie is off that day so I guess I'll let her participate. Thursday is a possibility as well.

I'll send out e-mail/PMs to all of you when I get home from work. Hopefully some of you can make it.

TENTATIVE PLAN:

*Tuesday
*5 PM - whenever we stop
*RSVP to my e-mail or PM me here on the board.

[greghead]

Bump, bitch.
