Haven’t been writing much here lately. Sorry for that. I have been devoting the entirtty of my blogging to 365mav. I’ll try to work on that. I still need to post the results of my sexiest woman poll from a couple months ago.
Anyway, the time of Jammy Jam is nearly upon us. So I need to start planning for it. It’s been problematic because I haven’t been working, but that situation seems about to be remedied (at least temporarilly). So here’s a general call for interest. When would be the best time to have Jammy Jam? The 27th or the 28th of this month?
Traditionally, Jammy Jam is on a Saturday close to my birthday. But this year I have been invited to present my photography at a show on that day, so I am considering having my first Friday party in many many years. Would people be able to make it then?
Also, Jammy Jam has been getting expensive in recent years. Would anyone be willing to donate money towards footing the bill? I have a couple idea for some stuff that might make it even cooler than normal if I had the cashola.
Speaking of which, the idea has been floated of having live bands again this year, just like last year. Are you in a band? Do you know a band? Want to play at my birthday party (for free, most likely, unless people are WAY more generous with the donations above than I anticipate). Let me know.
And lastly, are you planning on attending from out of town? Let me know as soon as possible if you need crash space somewhere. Its at more of a premium every year.
Gonna take another crazy whirlwind of preparation, but I’d like to play.
Where’d all the other comments go?
I dunno… I got one comment on the myspace version of this post and yours here. Either people are being lame or this could be the worst jammy jam ever.
Dude, I’m so confused. Wasn’t there a long thread of you and jameel calling each other old? Am I hallucinating again?
you must be… I don’t recall that at all.
Okay, I am insane. Somehow I was reading last year’s jammy jam post.
told you
My brain was damaged by dangerous bass.
you kids and your hip hop
Weird. This one came up on my RSS feed of links to my Flickr photos and I assumed it was last years post and didn’t read it (I just subscribed to the feed and everything else in it actually was old. I think.) until I actually logged in to LJ for once.
actually, I meant to use a pic from last year. I didn’t realize this was a pic from two years ago. And where do you get an RSS feed of links to photos?
Do a Google Blog Search for link:http://www.flickr.com/photos/chrismaverick/ and the results page has an RSS feed.
ah… yeah, i’ve done that before. The RSS feed is a good idea though.
Perhaps you should post your request on flickr.
Or the e-mail list.
which list is that?
Duh…the one you use to invite people to all your parties.
oh… well, I’m not spamming the party list until its time to invite people.
I did mention it in today’s photo.
Hey Mav…
We’re somewhat unexpectedly in town. We could make the 27th, but we’re flying out on the 28th.
I think a good party cost mitigation strategy is to take the wedding registry approach. I’ve found people are happy to bring booze/food/etc (seems like a gift) but they get weird about cash. I once tried a measly $5 cover… it was a disaster.
I’m leaning heavily towards the 27th right now. Though it may be more trouble, it actually seems better for a lot of people (surprisingly).
I will be in New Orleans at a conference.
yeah… marli told me… you suck.
So, last time we talked in the comic book store, I remember being under the impression that I would be able to make Jammy Jam. That I’d be back. If it is on the 27th (my birthday) or 28th. I will be sad. I return on the 31st. I hearby delare my vote to make it any time that is August.
I don’t think I can. My birthday is the 1st and I like it to be as close to my bday as possible, and I am wrestling the next weekend. Also, the further into August it is, the longer it will be since I had a job or unemployment and the less likely I’ll be able to afford to throw it at all.
Also, other people are already making travel plans around me. Sorry. 🙁
(come back early)
Happy Birthday!
thank you muchly
