Jemfest, eh?

[Anonymous]

I wish there was a Canadian Jemfest for all us Canadian shredders. *That would be really really cool. *Just cuz there's no way I can get to Florida, and want to spend some time hanging/jamming/talking with fellow guitarists that aren't into *shudder* Blink 182.

[Gabe Nickelson]

Sounds like you signed yourself up to create a Canadian Jemfest. * *I encourage it. * Maybe a mini-Jemfest.

Don't count on the Jemfest organizers to put on a Canadian show within the next couple of years at least. *We are a non-profit US organization at this point... *Don't know what governmental loops have to go through to conduct business there.

C'mon Gabe, wasn't Las Vegas enough red tape for ya? :biggrin:

(shutting up now, before someone decides to volunteer me for the job of organizer)

This is interesting because I got a call from the State of Nevada last week regarding my permit. *They were concerned that I was still doing business without renewing my permit. *I told them to go 'shove' their permit where it hurts and I'll never conduct business in Vegas ever again.

Canadian Jemfest would be cool...or even a little closer to the border Jemfest....did see some one mention Milwaukee...thats getting closer :biggrin: *

Gabe- aren't you still an official promoter in the State of Nevada? *Anyone else think that Gabe with Don King-type hair would be a great holiday card picture? *:-)

Jemfest Canada. *Hmmm...not a bad idea but, as stated, the "international" aspect would be 10x harder than Canadian residents hopping a plane to the US, or driving across the border.

If we did do it up there, I'd have to recommend Calgary (family there) or Kelowna (family there too). *They held the Olympics in Calgary, but can they handle Jemfest? *:biggrin:

I don't think I could organize anything, even a mini-fest, since I'm in grade 11 and up past my @$$ with homework. *But if someone organizes something, I'm there. *Preferably in July/August. *I don't think anyone wants to risk bringing their JEMs up here in the winter.

I'm up for possibly starting a jemsfest up here.

I'm sure it would be a trip and I would need to plan at least a year in advance, so...I'm not sure, plus job stability and guitar ability come into play, I have to be able to rip it with the best of you canucks.


So what do you guys say, a Canadian Jemfest
titled "A Jemfest In The North"

we could possibly have it in a central province like Edmenton? how'z about it?

let me know what ya think


:shoot::angel:

[Pryde7]

I thought ontario was pretty central...

hehe remember the last jemfest-canada thread? lol fighting for jemfest in toronto... oh well...

you're right though, wherever it was, we'd need a while to prepare, save, woodshed, whatever.

but as far as being an official jemfest thing, i dunno... we'd have to do our own version.

i'd vote for next summer as a good time... preferably in may/june... but until then i was thinking of a more regional thing, a smaller, more jam-type thing than an official "jemfest" thing... like one in ontario, one in the west, that kinda thing.

what do you guys think (i'm having a strange feeling of deja vu lol)

[littlegreenman]

Ok guys, as this has been talked about for a long time now, I need to know, how serious is everyone? *I realize that many of you are in school and everything, so here is the deal. *
I will organize it, if everyone really wants this to happen, I think it would be great. *Here is the catch though, if I organize, it will be in Alberta, I don't have the time, or money to organize it outside of my own province. *If you want this to happen, let me know, but I need to know there will be good interest, I don't wanna do this expecting 50 and have me and Kremlin show up LOL
anyway, let me know!

Alberta sounds kewl. I would definitly try and make it... I have a sister in Lethbridge which isn't far from ya. I'm definitly up for it. :thumbsup:

Alden

[Sarah]

Me too!!! If it was in Alberta I could give you hand with organizing it, Jeremy...if you want me to.

MorbidAngel, I think Edmonton sounds like a really good idea
IŽll me moving there in December, but Calgary would be just as good for me.

Sarah

[littlegreenman]

Hey Sarah, I had full intentions of getting you to help organize it hehehe *Anyway, if you guys want this to happen, I will get started making some calls, and full organization after xmas. *
I would think a date in between Jemfest USA and Jemfest UK would make sense, likely in August, *As I am planning to attend both USA and UK Jemfest's next year. * *So August would probably be a good time, school isn't back in yet, and the weather is always nice here in August.

Lemme know what you guys think!

Jeremy

[cerealk]

Dont count on the UK Jemfest being late in the year in 2002 like it is this year.

I dont know when we might have it next year but certainly not before June.

If you want help from the Jemfest UK organising committee then I will be please to help anyway I can.

Best wishes

Simon

you jeremy, you are awesome :thumbsup:
if you can get a jemfest together (hell, even if it is in alberta, i'll take a bus lol) then it'll definitely be cool

i'm votin for you man

but whoever's in ontario for that jam that i keep talking about, email me, icq me, msn me, phone me (email me or something first) then i can work it out. i got to york university and they got these nifty little rehearsal rooms that i can reserve, so we can jam. i even know tons of drummers, bassists, guitarsists, whatever to help us out if we need a rhythm section or want to cut heads with another dude or two.

about the jeremy's jemfest idea, i think august is a cool time too, so lets plan it for then i guess. not too hot, not too cold, no school, whatever. it sounds good to me.
