At one point not long ago I considered buying a mic and amp in the event that I had people over to play with, but never bothered. Every once in a while my brother will come by and we'll hang out and play but none of my immediate friends I hang out with now play. When I was in high school there was a group of us that got together on a regular basis to jam but it never amounted to anything, and I got sick of lugging my gear around to play for an hour here or an hour there before everyone was too baked. I'd usually end up having to leave it at someone's house for a few days and I really wasn't cool doing that and had to worry about someone stealing something. Eventually back then I came to the conclusion that it wasn't worth the hassle. I got ahold of an old friend about 2 years ago and just in passing we started talking about playing guitar and he never knew I played. They were looking for a guitarist but after talking about it for a few minutes it was apparent that schedules just wouldn't work out and it sounded like the bassist was unreliable, so I declined the offer. I'm content to play when the urge strikes me, make a little noise by my lonesome and am grateful that my neighbors don't care. For me its like any hobby, expensive, enjoy having fun with and something you learn along the way but never master. Sometime the tinkering is the best part.</blockquote>
