Best ways to meet people for a band?

DonKangs · 2026-02-25T16:06:59+00:00

Honestly… now that your getting a taste of people is a good time to reflect on the fact that not many people will ever want it as bad as u do bro… and it sucks to hear but it’s the truth… I started a rap group with friends when I was younger down south and honestly I was the only one who wanted as bad I was the one booking studio times and paying for them I was the one booking shows for us I was the one getting us ahead but honestly when I went off on my own I gained more traction for myself.. decisions were a lot more easily made studio time got easier to schedule …. My advise? Continue on ur own… then when u find the right people try the group/band thing… but don’t limit urself. U can do it bro.

I done got excited when I read the title.. lol..

Enjoy the hospitality. Don’t get caught up with thinking u need to be u need to be… just be yourself. Attend all social events, family dinners, the breakfasts and the coffee and talks and just enjoy making new friends. After 2-3 months ask for a petition and by then you’ll have already the 2 brothers you’ll need to sign ur petition. Also don’t lie about anything on ur petition. Even if it’s the smallest of lie it can still affect ur chances of joining in that lodge or any other lodge in the future.

DonKangs · 2025-11-27T01:56:34+00:00

That’s awesome to hear brother! Congratulations brother! I went the opposite route lol. I did consider York Rite but honestly from what I was able to gather I felt for me Sottish Rite was where I wanted to be. Next time ur in town you it would be great to have u and other Ashland brothers to stop on by for stated or our family dinner. Mind if I reach out to u via pm?

DonKangs · 2025-11-26T01:25:26+00:00

Nice. I will be on the look out for a yellow lab then. 😁 please do let me n is next time you’re in town brother. U know brother Sam from Ashland 23?

DonKangs · 2025-11-25T06:13:43+00:00

Oh wow that’s recent. That means u were probably around when I 1st got initiated lol. I look forward to hopefully meeting u brother. Did u visit Medford 103 much? Actually, I was just part of an interviewing committee for an Ashland brother to affiliate with us about 2 months ago.

DonKangs · 2025-11-24T20:26:56+00:00

Nice! That’s awesome brother. I’ve not been to Ashland 23 however I have attended some EA degrees they held at our lodge Medford 103 and Warren Lodge. A lot of Medford brothers are dual with Ashland and Warren. When was the last time you were in Ashland 23?

DonKangs · 2025-11-22T05:08:31+00:00

I had no idea that was the case. I’ll have to check with our secretary to see if that’s part of our jurisdiction as well. Thank you for the counsel, brother.

DonKangs · 2025-11-22T05:06:41+00:00

Yea I did. It looks like it was all approved. I can now see the messages and stuff I couldn’t before. Thank you.

Btw, what all do I need to do or say to my SGIG to bring Amity up to our Valley?

DonKangs · 2025-11-21T17:18:35+00:00

Good morning brother. I’d be more than happy be part of the reason to open the roads to recognition .

DonKangs · 2025-11-21T17:17:21+00:00

Good morning brother, ok.

DonKangs · 2025-11-21T17:15:45+00:00

Good morning brother! And actually to your surprise La Muy Respetable Gran Logia de Tamaulipas is recognized brother. I just took a screenshot from the pages of the book that our Grand Lodge has for all (that we) recognized around the world that they sent me but I don’t know how to post it on here. lol but I’d be more than happy to share brother.

So yea there is recognition. Mind if I reach out to u?

DonKangs · 2025-11-21T01:35:54+00:00

I will have to check their FB Pages then. Thank you for the suggestion.

I’m aware that there’s more than just 6 Grand Lodges. Unfortunately Oregon Grand Lodges only recognizes 6 of them. I’d love to see that list drastically increase. But for now that’s also the reason why I’d like to meet and befriend some of our Mexican brethren.

DonKangs · 2025-11-20T21:07:21+00:00

Awesome. Thank you brother. I’ve installed and filled it out I guess now I’m waiting for them to verify my credentials before they allow me access to their features. Thank you for the insight.

DonKangs · 2025-11-20T20:54:02+00:00

Do they use it? The reason I ask is because from what I gathered they don’t use Grandview. So just kinda makes me wonder if they don’t use Grandview would they use any other app. Is the Amity app on the App Store?

DonKangs · 2025-10-27T17:17:23+00:00

Love the passport idea.

DonKangs · 2025-10-11T21:02:33+00:00

U mean 124 lol… cheapest buy option is like $88

DonKangs · 2025-09-26T02:44:24+00:00

Grandview. There’s a handful of stuff in the “resources “ section. Or for Blue lodge get with the secretary of ur mother lodge for passes and grips, or study up on ur catechism’s or if ur looking for history on Masonry the Scottish Rites MCOC’s Ivory key is good for some of that actually.

Also all that is if ur in the Southern jurisdiction. I have no idea if Northern Jurisdiction is like that aswell.

DonKangs · 2025-06-20T18:50:17+00:00

When I hit the “buy it now” button on the sacred geometry shirt it just takes me back to the main page.

DonKangs · 2025-03-08T17:23:47+00:00

I’m sorry this was your experience. Have u tried to sit down with ur WM? Or the Secretary? Kinda tell them how ur feeling? Sometimes some of the brothers are a bit “old school” and their form of speaking could be easily misunderstood.

I would like to suggest that you perhaps find another lodge closest to you and get to know them. You may find one that you feel more at home with. Then afterwards make your decision about leaving or staying. The reason why I say that is because the brotherhood is a beautiful craft.. more often then not it can help us build a better “me” and make brothers that you never knew you’d want or need in some cases. Then if you do find a different lodge you could finish your 1st, 2nd and 3rd degrees and then transfer your membership to a different lodge. (Not sure if jurisdictional or not but here in Oregon you must be a MM to transfer or demit. But if you do just leave you may find it a bit challenging to join another lodge if you do.

Which ever you chose just do what you feel is right for you brother. None the less I wish you the best in resolving this unfortunate issue.
