Started this last week Thursday, finished up tonight...
Almost did open mic last night, even brought my guitar down to the venue. Cold meds on top of a few beers made me think I might be able to, but my voice was shit due to the congestion, and my hand coordination was a bit slow, so I decided against it.
Saw a couple open mic guys that I met just in the last few months & we bullshitted a bit. One guy wants me to come to an open jam session they do monthly at some guys house (says it's a really supportive, encouraging scene, and he's seen several people gain enough confidence to get out & play in public from attending a few times). Just facespace-friended me last night, so we'll see if I can make it out to the next one.
Another guy came over to talk to me about possibly getting together to jam. He needs a bass player for a recording he's looking to do, and if the vibe/fit is right, maybe putting something together to get out & gig a bit. We're tentatively looking at a week from this Sunday (the 7th, I think he said) to hang out & see how we mesh. If things go well (and I'm pretty confident they will) I might finally have a new band! I'll have to wait & see though - weird twists of fate tend to happen to me quite often, so I'm not counting it a done deal!
The positive attitude I'm trying to take towards the idea of someone coming into my life, dating-wise, seems to be working, at least to the extent that I'm now getting women randomly making small-talk, like in lines at the store, etc... I even smile at some & say hi occasionally, which is almost unheard of with me! Aside from the occasional melancholy, I seem to be doing pretty well. I've also had a few more opportunities to hang out with some of the open mic/music guys, and that's made me feel a bit more involved/included, almost like I have friends or something.
Also, I can't remember if I mentioned it or not, but I finally turned 85,000 miles on my cycle this last week. If I can decide on a place to road-trip this summer, I might hit 90k by fall!
