Welcome back to the Crimmus Jam
or return back home

Thank you guys so much for being a part of The Crimmus Jam. It means a lot to me, but it also means a lot to all those people walking through the door. They’re always telling me how they can’t wait or songs we should play or how it is something they look forward to all year. It wouldn’t happen without you guys volunteering your time and effort to memorize songs, attend rehearsals, and play your hearts out when the only pay is seeing drunks dance and yell. I’m proud of where we are, and I hope you are too. With you’re help we’ll keep making this thing bigger and bigger. Thanks.

From the West take a right off of the exit ramp and from the East, take a left. Then bear right onto Eastern Ave. Go almost a mile and, by some car dealerships, take a left onto East Washington Avenue (this turn is back and to the left).

Notes:

• Bring a guitar chord and stand if you are playing a guitar.
• Bring one set of extra strings.
• Label ANY equipment that you will be using and wising to keep
• If you need anything like a fan or towels, bring it. my fan is for my sweat problems (see Crimmus Jam 1 & 2 pics). No reason to be uncomfortable.
• You will have a performers pass. Please don’t give it to anyone else. It's really just a souvernir. Please be ready to play when it is your time. No one wants to come find you through that mass of people.
• We’re going to be on schedule. Keep the dickin around to a minimum.
• I will supply some beer in the back room for you guys, but if you want anything else, you’ll have to brave the bar and buy it yourself. Please don’t give away beers to anyone who’s not a performer. I’m going to have someone standing at the door. Those beers went fast as hell last year.
• Keep people from the stage and backstage area this year so our stuff will be protected
• Tell your parents to come out
• Wear ridiculous Christmas clothes if you got ‘em (sweaters, santa suits, etc.)

Concerning rehearsals…

• I am available to practice anytime. I would strongly encourage you if you are willing (and I hope you are) to set up a time where we can run through the numbers
• We will definitely be having a full band practice on CJ morning!!
• Please practice the songs on your own, I won’t be able to sing them all and would love it if you guys could pick up a few. And I sure as hell can’t carry every tune cuz I’ll be on all of ‘em. We can’t have another 2006 Jerry Bash 1st set.
