Well, to be honest, it actually didn't really go that well. I arrived just a few minutes ahead of time, and found a seat. The band who opened the jam went on-stage and played their set, and then the entire jam just died out after they were done. There was nobody other than me and the first band who were there to play, and they didn't want to play any of the stuff that I suggested so nobody got any actual jamming done... One of the listeners did come over and encourage me to go up on the stage and do a solo performance, even if whatever I could play wouldn't be anything actually impressive, but I let the nerves get in the way (in hindsight, I regret that)... The fact that the first band were way more skilled than I am probably only made the situation worse.

They did say that there's a jam every month or so, but if it's going to be like this every time, I doubt I'll even bother going every time...

I did, however, find out what the rehearsal spaces cost. 14-17$ a month for individuals, 4 times as much for a whole band. And that's assuming the band rehearses once a week only.

So for now, I'll just have to improve and try not to be as nervous next time. And maybe get to work on some of the riffs I've come up with recently...
