Due to circumstances beyond my control, my band is going to be cutting its activity down to solely operating on the weekends, both for practicing and playing shows. So this frees me up during the week to work on some other kind of side project. But I can't decide what kind of side project to have. Do you have a "side project"? What is it?

I think my ideal side project would be like the side band I was in in college, where I told my friend that if he put a band together I would play bass and just play whatever he told me. It was awesome, because I didn't have to contribute anything creatively, I just showed up and performed songs that I liked. If I could find someone who I really believed in artistically, I would really like to do something like this again, but I'm not sure how to find this, other than through craigslist, which seems haphazard.
Other options: * a pure recording option, either by myself or with other people. I used to be a lot more into home recording, and I've really been slacking off on this front. * actually try and start a whole other band from scratch, probably in a different style from my current band. I don't think I have the energy for this though. * just focus on putting more effort into writing songs for current band.

I played a homemade theremin once, and my hands tingled, trembled, and ached for a week. I thought I was about to develop some kind of cool theremin-related superpowers, but no dice.

You could record bluegrass covers of your own songs ("Pickin' on the F@ke F!ctions").
