Ok, I'll try to take the specific detail out to make it seem less intense. And I'll add in my gender and age even though I'm sort of afraid that both will drive people away before giving it a chance.

Should I not even mention I play trumpet though since that would be a secondary instrument for me in this sort of group.

When it comes to jam sessions, there's a music store that does jam sessions...but they're all themed with a particular genre. None of them are really anything I'm interested in. The closest is a blues jam session...but when I think about it, I'm not sure if I should bring my guitar too. I know blues scales on guitar, but not all the fancy jazz chords. I never played jazz guitar...it's a completely different thing. And if I chicken out bringing one of my guitars...then they just know me as a trumpet player...I'm just not sure. If I had someone to go with, I think I'd feel more comfortable, but at the moment I don't.

There is a music school near me...I just graduated from it. But I just have a feeling that I need to stay away for a while...I graduated, I don't belong there anymore. Besides, I didn't really meet anyone while I was there.

I'm trying to get a job as a DJ so I can get to know all the local bands (the station is dedicated to local bands), but I just feel like I will continue to be on the outside looking in.
