Just got around to searching through all of these groups. Northwest group! Too cool!

I'm in Medford. I try to play a little, but mostly a builder. I've always been building something, most recently knives and motorcycles but now of course obsessed with CBG's to the exclusion of most everything else. 

I see a few years back this group talked about local events a lot. Would love to hear more about things happening around here. They are having some sort of CBG thing at the Eugene Saturday Market this June I believe, but doesn't seem to be much info available yet.

Hi Tim - beautiful part of OR you live in. I'm out in Clackamas but got a chance to do the Minam Lake/lake basin loop a couple years ago. Still have those pics as my screen saver, sigh.

Hello Gang. I'm in Cove Oregon.

Cool Mark. I used to hop up to Medford  from Mt. Shasta once a month to do my tax free shopping. I lived in Ashland, Talent, and worked in Jacksonville  for awhile. I still have some acquaintances in the area but not many as time goes by. Thanks for the info.

Friend request sent, Moedecker. I moved from Carson City to Medford Oregon in 2012. I'm originally from Medford, so I basically came home. There are several great builders up here. I'm not sure about K-Falls, but Bend is home to Low Budget Luthier, and you won't meet a nicer guy. He's a fantastic builder too.

PKB - You need to hook up with Downtown Vinny here on The Nation. He's based in Eugene, but he knows a lot of folks around northern Oregon. If nothing else, he can help guide you toward the right folks for playing at Saturday Markets and such.

I'm in Reno, NV and have been thinking seriously about moving to K Falls or Bend in the next few years. Originally from Mt. Shasta so I'm familiar with a few places in the southeastern part of the state. I'm glad to hear cbg things are going on in Bend. One of these days I'd like to attend one of your get togethers. Keep in touch. Thanks- Moedecker

So... Still looking for other players/builders in Oregon. I would love to start playing Saturday Markets etc and I am looking for other attention whores to share in the awkwardness.

Comment by PKB on January 22, 2015 at 9:20am
Looking for players/builders in the Salem/Portland OR area.

Hit me up, let's build/jam.
