Hi Folks,

The time has come to kick start the Atlanta chapter. We're tried for a long time to get something going and Atlanta is too big a city and there's way too much going on musically to be in a holding pattern!

So if you want to help make something happen in Atlanta, let's do it!

Hello Atlanta Chapter. Nashville here. Good to see you guys working at it. You are all invited to join us here in Nashville at anytime. I am going to start hosting a once a month venue showcase for JPF here in Nashville very soon. If anyone wants to join us we are hosting a meeting here on April 13th , that's next Sunday from 2 to 5 PM. There will be a meeting and then a jam. Just bring drinks or munchies and your gear. There is more info on the Nashville Board. Maybe we can support each other and do some venue swapping. We aren't that far apart.

Hi Atlanta JPF folks,
My name is Al Alvarez and I along with co-cordinator Mike Miulli have started a JPF chapter in Tampa. We have been very well received by many songwriters who had never heard of JPF. I would be glad to brainstorm with you and share mtg format info. Promotional Flyers we used for our kickoff mtg.etc.
Our next chapter mtg will be on the 18th of May and we welcome all JPFers to join us.
All our best from Tampa,
Keep Strummin" Al Alvarez

As for the the rest of you Atlanta people, if you have not joined the chapter, please do so - e-mail us at StarMgmt@chapter.net right away.

Awesome. Before we can set up our first meeting we have to have at least 10 members. We are a few short so tell all your friends to e-mail us and let us know so we can get the list and send it to the home office to become an official chapter again.

The JPF Meetings are at my home. The venues I play the Writer's Nghts at: Some allow anyone until ten PM. I always let any minors perform before curfew. As long as it's a food place you are allowed in TN. Must have food on the table, even if it's a bag of chips.

WE will be there on the 24th but I think we are going to have to leave for KY for a performance. I have sent e-mails out to all the members in the chapter and if anyone did not get the e-mail then you need to be added to my membership list. Please e-mail me your e-mail.

In the meantime, we need to spread the word and get the chapter going!!!!
