--> I posted an invite to anyone willing to come out and play some instruments with other random musicians a couple of weeks ago. Here is the summary, and sorry no recordings...

Andrew was the first to arrive, he heard of it from em411and brought his Nintendo DS, he also invited his friend Dylan. I had a few friends on the way who just came to chill and hear the jam. Tae, another live pa artist, showed up ready to go.There was was a wide varity of jamming. We got quite noisy and not very cohesive late on, thus the recording would probally not be good for listening and maybe only good for DHQ type samples or ambient works, maybe?I'm hoping that next time we can section some ideas and really get some vollies happening, but I know I had a great time, and I heard from a few other people that they enjoyed it alot. It was really nice being able to open up my drums and play loud and also blend it in to some off the wall jams. After a while we were kinda intoxicated, or it could have just been me, but the jams were getting more punk and metal, fun for me drumming, but my arm actually hurt for two or three days later cause of it.

Hot wings were served and the people were happy

Instrument list:
Acoustic Drums
Electric guitar
3 acoustice guitars
MS2000r with small midi keyboard
Nintendo DS
Electric Bass
Largest M-Audio KYBRD hooked to computer running Reason with things set up by Jason (various synths, organs, sample palletes & pianos)
2 mics
An Ipod that turned into split second karoki to weezer, good fun.

The two kittens made a few camios and the room turned into "AWE CUTE", but they are. And they're not mine so, I get to love the kitten and not have to take care of the cat.

Lisa, a member of Tripnotica, came over and hung out. After everyone left we had a great talk about music, scene, technique and art, her friend stoped by to have a few beers around 3:30 cause he was stuck on the Queens Bridge for over an hour cause of the crappy crappy weather...ICE.

So to say, alot of noise was made. It seems everyone enjoyed the evening. The upstairs tennants didn't complain. Some people shouldn't play drums. Next time will be mid January, with better and more food. Possibly spots set up for short performances, more people to meet. And the kittens might be cats by then.

Thank you every one who came out on that nasy weather of a night. Check the few pictures I have up here. Antfatcor might have more pictures to share.

Yes we had a blast. If I can convince Jason to make his lasagna for the next one, that would be the most effective. really, the kitchen isn't that big, its trying to be a laundy room too so.

wait... a girl showed up? a real, live girl? i was impressed by this idea before, hardvolt9, but now my mind is just blown. way to go.

and also my kitchen is that EXACT same color. weird.

If you look very closely you can tell that it is just a cardboard cut out of a girl. Hahah, the one girl who lives at the house evacuated, and Lauren is in the picture and Lisa came later.

ha - minor correction - it's Anthony, not Andrew. very odd shot of me talking to Tae. I have more pics on flickr: link (they're on next page until they're pushed back as I post more stuff...) It would be nice to have a way of devising some structured jams... a number of ways could help manifest that idea...

I hope that next time someone brings a washboard or plays spoons.
