Issue #213: JAMO's JAMs & GIGs for 10/16/11

Welcome to JAMO’S JAMS & GIGS for 10/26/11, issue #213.

Send me your November gigs, gang. Whenever I try to explain what Burning Man is, and why I went, I fall flat on my face. SO, here are a few places to go to see what it is: www.burningcam.com/2011 (200+ great pics of the event), http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=GMfzFIERJIg (my favorite Mutant Vehicle),

http://www.jasonmongue.com/Film/Play/InTheDust ( a cool video), and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQacfYW6eZQ (A time-lapse video – it’s good from about 2:00 to about 4:00..)


If you have any trouble reading this thing, just go to http://jamogigcentral.blogspot.com/, and it will all be there. Marisa Chiara does that for me, and I really appreciate her help. You can print it out for yer own use, etc. If you meet her at one of our gigs, be sure to say Hi…
