timouse Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 I propose that we start a new religion, scam people out of millions of dollars, and charter a train for Festival Express II . all we gotta do is start claiming that this dude is coming back...

Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 all we gotta do is start claiming that this dude is coming back... There we go! We can come up with an arcane mathematical deduction based on some obscure chronology gleaned from Dead lyrics, and set the whole thing up to gather on top of a mountain in the Rockies somewhere on some specified date. Best part is, by that point in the proceedings, people will be bound to forget why we were there in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark tonin Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 (edited) The Canadian jam awards idea has definitely been tossed around a number of times over the last 4 or 5 years. At one point a few years ago it seemed like there was enough momentum and enough touring Canadian jambands that it could work, but not now, at least not in my opinion. That could change again though at some point in the future if enough people got on the same train ...I like the idea of trying to get any Canadian jambands recognized through awards that currently exist, like the Jammy or Juno awards.A Canadian jamband celebration still makes lots of sense to me ... hmmm, I think that's what some of these summer festivals are about, such as the Come Together Fests, Sunseeker/Shorline/Evolve, and Bonfire, although most of them end up with a regional focus, which can't really be helped given the size of our country. And some of them have moved away from being "jamband festivals" in an attempt to bring in more people and a wider diversity of music. Not to mention the blurry lines and definitions that exist when trying to define a jamband.Having said the above, there is definitely still a growing number of people, most of them music fans, who visit this web site for music information. So the "jamband" name and label can help as a marketing tool.I also hope to build on the FUNdraiser show idea that happened in Kitchener this past January, as a way to help things grow further. I'm not sure exactly when or how yet, but hopefully that will materialize when I have more time to devote to the idea.Peace, Mark Edited June 23, 2006 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
