Jimabr Joined: Feb 22, 2010 Posts: 16 Chicago area	Posted on Jul 10 2010 04:33 PM Hey, man. Check your PM's on the site, here, I sent you one a few days ago. I split time between Chicago and the northern burbs, let's grab a beer & discuss. I'll be out at one of the streetfests (to be decided upon shortly) tonight if you are out & about.

surfinsam Joined: Jun 15, 2009 Posts: 14 Chicago	Posted on Aug 19 2010 02:26 AM Update. I met with Jim and we talked about starting something. He has a drummer available to play I believe. We have discussed a lot of songs. A 2nd guitar would be great if anyone is in the area. Also -- if you're a bass player, let Jim know, because unfortunately it's possible I might not be able to do this (due to several other projects on my hands right now, plus my last year of college and such....) — Surfin Sam Top
