Talk:St. Pete Cyclegrass Jam
From PickiPedia: A knowledge base of bluegrass, old time psychedelic jams, and other public domain music

Here are some thoughts on what I'd like to see in St. Pete this coming cool season for a jam:
- Coordinate with Activate St. Pete and other cycling groups
- Weekly, descend on a participating venue - we can either ask the Activate crew if they have a fav. brewery, or we can use my house
- Have two circles: learning and picking. The picking circle is meant for intermediate and above pickers; if you can't cut it at first, we'd love to support you in the learning circle until you're ready.
- Four rotating themes, each circle embodies two of them each week: bluegrass, old time, trad, and dead.
- For the learning circle, we assign leaders who can lead on whichever two topics are in the learning circle that week.
- A rule: if you arrive by bike, and you bring an instrument, remove it from its case, and pick at your level, you get a $10 credit at the establishment in question (or, if it's at my house, then... I dunno, free something - maybe we have food available or something).
- I can imagine Green Bench loving this, and building it up into an event at Ferg's, maybe in Feb, right before we do whatever we're gonna do here in Colorado.
