Hello. I'm a guitar player who is not ready to 'play out' at this point as I am a bit rusty/have not picked up the instrument regularly in a while. I very much want to get back to playing/creating again, however. I am not a songwriter, not yet anyway, and I am not looking for perfect players, as the purpose here is to have fun, be creative, laugh, let go of our egos, ( as much as is humanly possible anyway). All aspects of musicianship are welcome: songwriters, singers, yes, even tamborine playe …

We're looking for readers who enjoy speculative fiction of all kinds (science fiction, fantasy, etc.). We've changed the focus of the group to Graphic Novels for the time being.

We'll still talk about what's new and interesting in Sci-Fi/Fantasy as well because t …
