Hello my fellow Oudis-
I recently posted an add on craigslist about "oud player available for parties, etc." and got a couple bites regarding oud lessons... I don't feel I
am advanced enough to actually give lessons, but though it would be a great idea to have an oud "jam session" or workshop- maybe bi-weekly, and it
would be great for all of us in the LA area who want to learn new things from eachother, with a more fun enviroment... you know? get some argileh,
some arak (if you do that), and get down-
we could rent a studio space, or we could do it at someones house... or just kick it in a park, for all I care- I just want to see it happen-
Anyone interested? please lemme know- U2U me, and I'll send you my phone number and we can coordinate a day and location- PLEASE PLEASE!! it would be
great-
Aight?

How about January 20th at my place? You guys up for it? Should be enough room. Let me know. I can always change the date, but I am hoping we can
get some sort of turnout for it.
It's in West Hollywood--the parking is a little tight, but we can work around it.
I am hoping we can pull this off again.

I'm down! Lee- I'll call this week to introduce- one love-

Jonathan can't host the party on the 20th
LeeVaris - 1-8-2007 at 10:46 AM
Due to a family emergency, Jonathan can't host the party on the 20th because he will be out of town.
Right now I'm looking for alternatives. I "might" be able to host at my house. ( right near LaCienega and the 10 fwy in Los Angeles) I don't have as
much room as Jonathan does but we can probably make it work for a late afternoon to late evening thing, say 4 PM to 1 AM? Pot luck?
Anyone still interested in getting together? Jump in now with a show of hands
excentrik - 1-9-2007 at 06:09 PM

I will be out of town until next week - please contact me via email if you're interested in getting together - Mike? Peter? Tarik? Anyone else? I was
still planning for Saturday Jan 20th... but I will put it off if not enough people are interested. I know there's more than Tarik here in Southern
California!

Jan 20th I have a performance at Fais Do Do- actually you guys should check it out- Its an Event called "Arabs-Blacks-Jews: The Art of Resistance"
There will be all types of speakers and poets, and my crew The Philistines, the Nomads, and I, Excentrik will be performing some Arab Hip Hop
(complete with Oud).
Maybe the week after that would be better... I really want to get it together- Lee, I'll contact you via email- we'll get it all organized-

workshop

Hey everyone, I'm new to the website actually. Tarek, I called you from your add on Craigslist and you told me about the website, its really great.
I live in LA and I think it would be great if we can work out that workshop idea. I've been looking for people to play music with for a while (I play
precussions also).
So Tarek, I'm not sure how many people expressed their interest, but Im definitely in.
Cheers
Jonathan - 1-12-2007 at 04:49 PM
Guys, if you want to put it off until mid-Feb, my place is open. There's just no way I can do it before then.
excentrik - 1-12-2007 at 11:18 PM
Jonathan-
dude that sounds fine to me- please set the date and we'll set it in stone for mid-Feb... who else besides Lee, Ahmad (shado), and me? Mike, Peter-
you guys gotta be there- and Rami, drive the little 5 hours on the 5 and live a little... anyone else in So Cal?
