Kinda, in the first example its much more formal as our bar band rehearses at a fixed time weekly and we go to (a low-brow warehouse) fixed rehearsal studio every time. But it ends up being very social - we take turns buying beer and we have a real fun time every week. Almost every week someone says "man, Ive missed you guys"

In the other area, a very good long-time personal friend has taken up guitar. We formed a startup acoustic trio and did a few open mics in preparation for future gigging. In this example we dont have a regular schedule but try to get together at his house every other week. And this is very much a social visit as much as a music visit since we've been such good friends most of our lives.
