So I say this in nearly every post, but I haven't *really* played for years and recently got the itch again. For the past month or so I've had drums on my brain and have been messing around with (but not playing) some of my gear I have here stored at the house. The itch came when I found out a co-worker has access to a rehearsal lockout and was thinking about finding people to rent another one. I got all excited at the prospect of being able to move my drums in and play whenever I wanted. That and I could practice with my other friend who plays guitar. But basically, after all this time nothing has moved on either front so I'm sitting here dying to play, with no place to play, not wanting to bug my friends to spend time and money on something they aren't ready to do.
So I sunk to a new low... posting on craigslist. ::::screams of horror::::
I outlined what I am and what I want to do. Basically I'll play with anyone that has a place to play in the city I live (Irvine) or a neighboring city. I work at 100% night lately, usually starting between 5 and 6 pm, so I can only play during the day. This means I would probably have to cut any practice at 4pm, pack up and rush home in time to shower for work. This is explicitly why it needs to be close, because I can't be rushing home on the freeway after 4pm, I'd never make it to work (that and I drive a 51 year old car that can't really be sitting still on the freeway).
I posted the ad at almost 5am this morning (since I work at night I can rarely fall asleep as soon as I get home), and only have gotten one response so far. From a guy who couldn't follow my request, who lives in Anaheim. No Anaheim's not far, but REASONS!! =)
I know beggars can't be choosers, but luckily considering how low-key I want this to be, I think I can be choosey. I was pretty specific to what I was looking for. Unfortunately for most people it happens to be something that I need to be pretty much in the same city.
Wish me luck.
