May 6th - cool!!! It must be hard to have this dragging out. I'm sure it will go well for you.
Awesome that you seem to have some leads on people to get a band together with. It's exciting playing in a band! I'm going through this myself now so I know how hard it can be to find like minded people to play with. The drummer is furiously getting leads on people after hearing nothing for a month. Her husband is a professional musician and she has hired bands throughout the years for events in her town, so I think we'll have people before we know it.
