moving to CA

[secondsoul]

Hi all,
After months of go/no-go (and having to miss the 2011 road rally because of it!) I am finally moving to the Bay Area at the end of March. On top of that I also just got my first forward, so pretty happy - it also means the 2012 road rally is nearby

I'm on the prowl for music related meetups and events in the area. There's been one thread on it so far from pboss - I totally agree with the idea of not limiting get togethers to the road rally ... Plus quite selfishly I won't know many people any more pointers welcome.

Cheers
Matt

Where in particular in the Bay Area?

[secondsoul]

In San Jose ... to start with at least.

I'm on the Russian River, about an hour north of SF.
Spent a lot of time in Berkeley and the City. Only a little time
in San Jose, mostly for conventions and some visiting.
Not a big performing arts scene, really, but you will be
within driving distance of SF. You likely know all of this.

Welcome to NorCal!!

I have to ask.... "Do you know the way to San Jose?"...

(Young ones may not get the yoke)

Seriously, good luck on your move!!

Hey welcome aboard, I live just north of SF out on the coast. Don't make it to San Jose much but I do get down to Santa Cruz a bit which is just over the hills from San Jose, I'm sure you'll be spending time in SC.

Best,

eo

I live in San Francisco (or The City as its often referred to), in the southeast section near Candlestick Park. I don't know the music scene in SJ but it's a big city so there's got to be stuff going on. It's not that far from SF depending on traffic but as eeo says, Santa Cruz has a thriving scene and isn't that far from San Jose.

I missed Pattys meetup last time but hope to make the next one.

Good luck on the move! You'll enjoy the bay area and it's a 6 hour drive or a one hour flight to la!

Hi Matt,

Congratulations on your move to California -- and on the TAXI forward. As our good buddy Mazz would say, "Whoo hoo!"

We sometimes drive 2-3 hours in L.A. traffic (from San Diego) to attend our monthly TAXI Hang groups, but it's worth every minute. We've forged some great friendships in the past 13 months -- and it makes the Road Rally even MORE fun, if you can imagine that.

Go for it! What have you got to lose? (OK, maybe 1/2 tank of gas...)

Thanks everyone! I "just about" got the way to San Jose joke

The LA hang sounds good, I've got no probs making the drive !

Looking forward to it for sure

Cheers

Hi Matt:

Congrats on the move to my native state of California. There's a big time songwriter from San Francisco you need to check out. He is Steve Seskin, http://www.steveseskin.com
He has commuted from SF to Nashville for many years. His workshop at one of the Road Rallys was one of the best
