    The Newsroom was well-intentioned but terrible, and nowhere close to the writing / themes / acting / cast etc of West Wing. West Wing is his best and arguably the best show to be put on TV, though Sorkin only wrote on it til the end of season 5(?). Sports Night is also at the top of his game.

    Just watch Newsroom. It's a far shorter slog.

    "Finally Jaga Jazzist. For any of you that caught them at the Ottawa Bluesfest last summer, you'll know why I was excited. They're an Oslo-based ten-piece instrumental experimental modern rock band. Most players are multi-instrumentalists so there's an unbelievable amount of gear on stage. They are obviously very popular here, and had a really big crowd of cheering fans. I was in a state of continuos joy during their set."

    It is pretty amazing what my phone - and I assume most phones, can do with music. I transfer higher quality mp3's (usually of the 320 variety) and have a whole slew of equalizer and sound file options to alter the sound (read: reduce treble).
     
    With good headphones (I use Bose), the proper EQ settings and the "Tube Amp" option - my tunes sounds spectacular.
     
    And my phone didn't cost $400 for the unit, along $25 per album - but I can also make phone calls!
     
    Sorry Neil but the last couple of years have really tarnished the sterling reputation you had enjoyed to this point.

    Hey bouche, we are still thinking about how we will get this film out there. I am open to suggestions and advice. I am going to touch base with Greg Hemmings for sure for some advice - I'm not sure if he still visits this board but I have connected with him via Facebook. We will want to enter it into film festivals. I am thinking we could screen the film in some other locations, along with live performances by some of the people involved. It looks like the film will come in at just under 40 minutes, which means it could pair up nicely with live performances. That is what we are doing in Waterloo. At some point we will look at remote screenings. This is all new territory for me so I am open to suggestions and will be working closely with Rob Waldeck and Drywal Media to come up with a plan.
     
    I agree that this film does represent an excellent promotional opportunity for Jamland and me and the people involved. I've already been giving that some careful thought. Jamland will always remain small and kinda sorta private, as that is the desire of my friend who owns the property. Having said that, she is open to new people coming, as long as it is carefully managed and the people coming have been invited and it doesn't "blow up" with uninvited guests. It is very cool to hear what people say who come there for the first time. And she is even open to the idea in the future of possibly having a series of small events during the summer. That won't happen this summer, but maybe at some point down the road. I've never been to a ramble, but maybe a small version of something like the Levon Helm midnight ramble series, except a camping version in the forest. The other thing that I might consider is using the Jamland experience as a platform for me to try something bigger in another location. My friend Rob Waldeck will be able to use the film as a way to promote Drywal Media. And the musicians involved will be able to use it to promote what they do. All that being said, both Jamland itself and the documentary film are first and foremost events that come from a desire to create something special for friends and friends of friends who value live music and nature. I have never taken any money out of Jamland; in fact, I've put in lots of time and energy and my own money to make it happen. As has the owner of the property. As have many others, including the volunteers who have helped with property maintenance and stage building, and the musicians who have played for less money than they are worth, and in many cases for free. From a financial perspective, my goal is to get it to the point where the money coming in from donations and/or ticket sales covers the cost of paying musicians and any additional sound or property maintenance costs, and the film may help to highlight what a special thing we have going and therefore may lead people to donate more money and/or pay more for tickets than they have in the past. I like working outside, and I don't mind setting up sound gear and hauling around generators and moving firewood and clearing camping areas, etc. but I must admit I am getting older and am aiming to reduce my load and the load on the owner of the property over the next year or two. But I am fortunate enough to have a teaching gig that pays me enough money to live, so I can do this for my soul rather than for the money. And if it ever did turn into a money making venture, the money would go back into Jamland or some sort of charity. Something like Instruments for Africa or something else music and/or nature related. But I am getting ahead of myself - one step at a time.
