Why are we all not jamming together?


Recommended Posts

I was one of the first people in line at the residency this past week. I brought my guitar down to Chicago in anticipation that I would run into some playahs...but alas I found none who could jam.

 

I think we need to coordinat some WILCO fan jam/singalong/openstage...something

 

What do you think?

 

or has this already been tried ANALOGMAN?

:D

Rob, after I get well, I will work on my chops so I can totally jam with you. You ever come to KY?

I'm always up for some Wilco-related jamming with anyone in the Los Angeles/ Orange County area.

I just relocated to Hollywood. I live right up from the Knitting Factory, just a stone's throw from Hollywood Blvd. I'd like to find some open mic places around here to dust off my live chops. Suggestions??

Hmmm... I don't really know of any open mics in Hollywood (though I'm sure there are places). I think Molly Malone's on Fairfax and 6th has an open mic on Monday nights:

That's in my backyard, so let me know if you plan to do one of these and there's an at least 30% chance I'll make it out.

 

The Kibitz Room in Canter's Deli on Fairfax (also in my backyard) has an open mic on Sunday nights:

The Dresden Room on Vermont in Los Feliz (not in my backyard, but Los feliz is rad) has an open mic on Tuesdays:

El Cid on Sunset in Los Feliz (or maybe it's Silverlake, which is similarly rad) has an open mike on Tuesdays, too (though not every Tuesday):

Other than that, I know there are some open mics in Santa Monica, though I don't know where.

These two places are 8 minutes and 12 minutes from me, according to Google maps. So, I might show up to one of these once I get a little mores settled.

Sorry if this sounds obvious or insulting or something, but I really have used the hell out of openmikes, they have a search widget where you input your zip code and a radius you are interested in...

 

Best part is definitely the posts / reviews. Occasionally I disagree with the other people, but by and large you can get a sense for what a particular open mic is like.
