When we decided to move the jam from Thursdays (because Wolf and I got the Zoo Bar gig), we knew we were gonna have 2 weekends a month over there and we weren't sure if we wanted to make them both jams, or one a jam and one a gig, or what.

Pros for making them both jams:
1. More musicians will come out because they can play.
2. The same number (or more) non-musicians will come out because the slight drop in musicianship won't scare them away and their friend might be playing.
3. More time to sit around, talk, smoke, and drink.

Cons for making both a jam:
1. The very few blues nazis around won't come out for a slightly inferior show.
2. We don't get to put on the best show possible.

So, I didn't really think it was a decision and both the 1st Friday and 3rd Saturday are jams now. Andy Poxon and Big Money both came out. Doug brought the whole crew. I had a good chat with the new owner. Little drunk hillbilly kept hitting on me and then had to leave with mom. All in all, a successful jam. The fact that I ended the night with a flat tire barely put a damper on my night.

Next: Keep on chuggin'
