Daniel, are you volunteering?
I had chance to stop by the Jam Station this afternoon, sorry Olie, I had an opportunity and took it. Some more information to digest. The rates advertised on the website arerehearsal rates. There is a different and more expensive rate, for events or parties - $100/hr. After I described what we are meaning to do, it still qualifies as a rehearsal - $60/3hr block, but it's borderline since we're technically not auditioning anyone or rehearsing. Our spouses can visit/stay but that's about it. Once the guest traffic starts to increase it becomes more of a party.
The room is large enough to accommodate the expected number and gear. The stage will comfortably accommodate a good sized kit and three players. Reasonably clean. Not much in the way of security, the lobby door is unlocked during business hours, no cypher or key pad as I have seen on some rehearsal buildings. Might be a concern for some. 2nd floor, elevator access in the lobby for load in. The room is right above.
The room is available for the 12th. doors open at noon. We can book successive 3hr blocks - would 2 do it? After that we can rent per hour as long as the room is available.
There is a smaller room at the lower rehearsal room rate. But I think it's too small, the PA is a Fender Passport with a 6 channel mixer. Dirty and ragged. Not, in my opinion, a place I want to spend any amount of time, yeah, even with you guys...
The person I talked to was as helpful as she could be, but suggested I call back when the tech guy was on duty for any sound/PA/recording questions.
From what I can infer from previous posts, Michael, Olie, David and myself are good for the 12th. Daniel and Doc as strong possibles and Craig, Wayne and Jorge still on the fence. Is that right? The two guitarists from my church are still in, I'll need to confirm with Pete (drums).
All for now, not feeling well, I'm going to bed.
Mike
