With all the dual streaming going on in SL and SL musicians gathering to jam in RL, those of us down South are wondering if there is anyone interested in meeting in the Dallas area for a Texas Jam. Although I'm not a SL musician, I'm a devoted supporter of SL music and while I can't and shouldn't ever sing, I'm a great organizer so if there is any interest out there in the SL music community for a Texas Jam, let me know and I'll work on setting one up.

If you are interested, send me an IM in world or just post something here.

Hope to hear from a lot of you soon!

I'll be doing some meet-ups this summer. Will be in Indianapolis in June and Montreal in July. I'm looking forward to them. I will make my bestest effort to be at a Texas meet-up... I think it's a nice south central location for people to make the drive or take the short flight in. I'll throw around the idea to friends and musicians and I hope something develops. Thank you Luka Very Happy

Texas? Sheesh.. there'd be enough people just from Texas I'd think. Capos, TallGuy, Matthew Perrault, and others i can't htink of...

A bit far for me though. d'oh!

You see King of the Hill this week where a Canadian moved into the house next to Hank Hill? lol

I'll be coming down to Ft. Worth toward the end of July to visit the in-laws. I was just thinking I'd love to try and make something happen music-wise during that time.

Besides those mentioned, Melvin Took (Peter Greenstone) is in Austin - he hasn't been in SL for some time afaik, but he's brilliant.

I'd greatly welcome the chance to get together w/ any of the Texans who play out in SL while I'm there.

I also wouldn't mind working out something on the way down / and or back - OKC is often our overnight on the way down and Mid-Kansas on the way back.

The Texas Jam is up and running. It will be the weekend of October 23 - 26th in the Dallas area. There are about 14/15 musicians planning to attend and we are expecting about 80 to 100 listeners. If you are interested in more information, contact Luka Mikoyan or Renee Bimbogami inworld for a notecard with all the important details. We would love to see you there.

I bet there will be more than 15 musicians there. I can't wait! I've already booked my flight and room. Though no roomie as of yet. (Waiting for a non-snorer Rolling Eyes

I'm planning on the Texas Jam but not to play. All of the acts are acoustic and my stuff would be incongruous. However, what I do plan on doing is bringing some fairly high-end video gear. What you all need to decide is if ANY focus of attention should be on the geekery needed to do that as the camera supports four XLR inputs which means I'd have two mikes for the stage and two more for ambient at the back of the room. That kind of geekery may be more than you want to tolerate so please think it through now. I don't want the Texas Jam to be about me or my gear but it could be a cool thing to video.

Hey Silas, gear or not, it'll be great to meet you. I think there will be plenty of people there interested in gear and geekery.

There's a registration form (for both performers and non). Do you have it? I just found out about it yesterday. It includes sign up for a couple of meals and events they need head counts for.

I don't get why there isn't a central information place for the jam. I keep asking Renee for updated info and she wonders why I need more info than the Holiday Inn phone number and dates! Who is going to spend for plane tix unless there is more to know: who has committed to going, is there a schedule for the musicians yet, how much and who pays for the ballroom, equip, yadayada. I'm not the only one, everyone I have talked to has the same concerns.
