Jemfest 2005- June 24-25 Orlando, FL

[Gabe Nickelson]

Thanks everyone for your comments.

I think this year will be the biggest ever. Thanks to everyone local who has helped out and spread the word. Your help is certainly appreciated and will be noted.

I don't know what came about to come up with the T-shirt design. I just started with an amp model (I was looking at my Marshall JCM 800 and the Spinal Tap DVD) and it evolved with the help of Kevan. Without his help it wouldn't be this cool. This stuff comes to me usually at the deadlines. We will have M to 3XL shirts available.

shane peoples - I live in Houston and I'm driving to Orlando. If you need a ride hop in my rig. The only thing I ask for is help with fuel. You will have a comfortable seat in the front. I will be leaving on 6/21 at 5am, and leaving on 6/26 in the afternoon arriving back in Houston early 6/27 - usually around 5AM or 6AM. I drive straight through all 1000 miles just stopping for fuel. If you want to come one day early you can stay at my place since I have plenty of room. The wife and kid will be out of town. You are also welcome to crash at my place on 6/27 when I get back.

Thanks again!
Gabe

I have missed the last couple years. Now that I no longer work for anybody, I can finally return to Jemfest. I'm pretty happy about it! IMO, the coolest thing about Jemfest is just hanging out with a Hotel full of guitar nuts. The performances and awesome guitars on display rank right up there to.

Jĺger shots, guitars, loud rock n roll, and a chance that a bus load of cheer leaders may be staying in the same Hotel... What more could a guy want?

wow...even oakman came out of seclusion for the Jem 7vwh raffle!

how i wish i could go

[bob oakman]

Nah... I don't like the VWH. Too few strings. I tried one and I didn't sound anything like Steve Vai. If I won it would I be thrilled anyway? YES! But no, I'm going to see the bands and hang with my buds.
