I played acoustic and electric for a while. I play the bass now. Got a pretty blue Yamaha sitting within arm’s reach.

Oooh, and I drove to Tybee too. Triple points!

We live in Savannah. We being Sulamith and myself with our two sons.

We got back from Tybee a little while ago. Went to see the fireworks for our anniversary. Testyson#1 and Testyson#2 loved it. I didn’t know they could do shapes like stars and hearts with fireworks. Waaay cool.

**GMR** : Don’t know where your Dojo is, but I play a Takamine Jasmine accoustic/electric, a Galveston accoustic/electric bass, and an Ibanez Artcore archtop, and guess what? They’re all **blue**! 😃

I’m probably not in your league (still learning) but if you’re ever in my neck o’ the woods, I invite you to come over and pick a little. Maybe you can show me some stuff!

Welcome **Testacleaz**! How they hangin’, dood? I love the nick! 😉

I love Tybee, but boy they sure charge a bunch for their B&B’s don’t they?

Rode your bike trail (near the Fort) and really enjoyed it. Welcome to SDMB, BTW!

Okay, folks! What about a meet? Looks like we got at least 2 pickers for entertainment. Let’s give it some thought, okay?😉

I drive through Georgia a few times a year because my SO lives in Athens–well, currently in Alpharetta.

But I am most certainly a BamaDoper.

**Labdad** , if you’re buying at the Brick Store, I’ll take a Trappist ale. They got rid of La Trappe, but they have a new one now.

Welcome **carrot**!🙂

**Morelin** : Welcome, and stay tuned. A Dopefest is still way, way, in the pre-planning stage! 😉  
And **GMR** , so I guess we both suck, huh? Maybe we can be the Milli Vanilli of bass guitarists! 😃

I lived in Augusta for six years, until this January. You couldn’t pay me to go back, but a former Georgia Doper checking in here anyway.

I WILL be in Atlanta for DragonCon, but this year I’m flying in. Yay, no worries about finding a parking space!

I play guitar - gots me a Takamine acoustic - but I pretty much stick to folk and light classical, and I usta do sing-along stuff. I play accordion too, sorta, but it’s not something I’m proud of…
