My name is Alex, and I'm a mid-twenties composer and gigging bassist slogging it in Vancouver, BC. I found out about this great community when I realized that the dialogue and content being spread on reddit was getting harder and harder to curate into a front-page that actually seemed meaningful to me. In addition to living a rewarding but incredibly difficult to sustain creative life, these things tend to show up: - Point and Click/RPG/Rogue-like Gamin'. - Table-top Gamin'. - Great Fiction and Great Poetry - Also learning, so non-fiction is cool too... - Digging up 60s/70s gems on vinyl, mostly funk/fusion/psych-rock. Leading to... - The DIY arts community. Leading to... - Drinking beer and yelling about art/justice/nonsense. (Vancouver hipsterdom/la vie bohème...) - Doing my best not to be a jerk. That's a start!

Hey adob, I'm glad you found us. It's funny, I think Hubski must have the greatest concentration of bass-players of any web community that has ever existed. You are in good company. Also, we have a fair amount of vinyl enthusiasts here too. If you are ever interested in joining in one of our #hubskicollaborativemusicclub projects, let me know. Also, I'll be in Vancouver in June of 2015. We will have to have a large Hubski meet up. We have some other Hubskiers in BC too.
