Hey brothers, I had an idea. 
I noticed there is a number of us in Northern California, I imagine around the Bay Area.
Why not have a get together at my house (it's nothing fancy but it has a back yard). My wife can put together some Greek Egyptian food, you can bring
your ouds and we can have a great time, meet each other and put faces to the names.
I can even try to invite a great local oud teacher and we could really get going (no belly dancers though pleeeeease !)
Southern Cal can do the same and other areas too.
If you're game, I can organize it. I'm in the East Bay.
Let me know

I'm in east bay too. As long as the "no belly dancing" rule sticks I'm there!

Excellent idea, I live in Cupertino, count me, belly dancing or not 
Ali-

Sorry to bug you all, but I believe there have to be more than 2 people in the SF Bay Area that may be interested in getting together (especially when
my wife's food is concerned)
Let me know !

Brother Spyrosc
Change the 'belly dancing' rule man and you get more then 2 peoples bombing your house (not only those from SF Bay Area, people from KL might join in
too) 
Let me know!

I'll mention this to Gary and Tom Chandler - I don't think they frequent this board if at all and both play oud and live in Oakland.
Is John Erlich around? John? Thought I saw you on here before...?
