SF Bay Area Oud Gathering - June 22-30?

John Erlich - 6-14-2010 at 04:25 PM

Greetings San Francisco Bay Area Oud Maniacs,

Are any of you interested in getting together some time between Tuesday, June 22 and Wednesday, June 30 for some jamming, food, 'araq/rakı, Turkish & Moroccan tea, etc.?

We could get together at a home (my humble abode, for instance), a park, restaurant, whatever.

Let me know. I am happy to take the lead in organizing it.

Thanks,
John

Hi Tom,

What are your preferences (day, time, location, etc.)?

Thanks,
John

that Tuesday the 22nd is good for me, sat the 26th is fine too. I'd say location depends on how many folks opt in. I don't think I'm in a position to host, however...

If there's only going to be 3 of us, I guess it could be pretty flexible.

Possible options:

1) My place Sat. evening for lamb tagine dinner (any vegetarians? food allergies?);
2) Meet at a restaurant before or after jam;
3) Picnic/jam in a park (daylight hrs.?);
4) Meet at Oasis Market/Deli in Oakland (jam in their cafe area);
5) Meet at Hooka bar in SF;
6) etc.

Send me a U2U with email/phone # if you want to start gettin' specific.

Thanks,
John

Hi guys,

I'm a new guy and wouldn't have much to contribute in terms of Oudism but I'd love to come on by and soak up the atmosphere a bit and meet some of you local guys. (if it's actually happening)

I live up in Fairfax in Marin.

Cheers
