Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

OK! So, we're gonna jam on a regular basis like we talked about before! Cool, huh?

Thom at the Scroll ( http://scroll.org ) has set up a board especially for US! And we've decided to create a regular schedule for the jams, starting in January. We'll do one jam a month at his place and one jam a month right here in the Jam Session forum!

Here's the logo I designed for our place....



And here's the one I designed for his place (it matches his new jam page.)




Yeah, they're the same... but different. Like all of us! The same but different!

Mark your calendars! First and Third Fridays, every month.... starting at 3PM EST for 24-hours for each jam. We'll start on Friday, January 7th. So, here's the initial schedule (as it stands now).

Friday, January 7th at the Scroll
Friday, January 21st at Studio Eight
Friday, February 4th at the Scroll
Friday, February 18th at Studio Eight

Are you excited about this? I am! The Scroll has the open thread software we all love so much. So, it will give us a varied experience to go back and forth, plus hopefully some Scrollers will join in over there and also come over here to our jams!

What's not to like?

It's the internet. It's what's happenin'! It's the way it's supposed to be.... collaboration at it's finest!

I'm psycho!.... er, psyched!!! and HYPED, too!

Hey, you guys... it would be very cool if you went over there to http://scroll.org and registered and got used to the software some. It's a little different in regards to navigation, etc., so try it out!

I post on Critic Corner. Hope to see you there before the jams start and please mark your calendars, ok?

logos are beautiful
and the idea is superb.

With hopes i make it to the New Year (i count my future by the week)

jam mad
judih

Ohhhh judih... you'll be there! You've GOT to be!

I count your future by a lifetime!

(I do worry about you over there all the time).

Thanks for your enthusiasm!

I'm going to go post the logo at the top of your 8-day miracle jam.

(a little late, but still, we have 7 more days! )

an 8 day Miracle Jam
begs surprises

please honor the space with your logo face

I put the logo up at the top of the thread.

I'll do that every time we have a jam.

I also inserted it a page or two ago.

I haven't had much time... I've been working all day.

Right now, I'm trying to design a new, simple front page because I keep hearing the one that's up there sucks.



I'll be jammin' soon as I can.

front page of Studio 8? the Studios?
sucks?

who would dare to employ such an epithet?
(don't tell me....)

suck is in the eye of the beholder or him

for the record, i like it, but am always willing to see your innovations

Here's a scroll fo yas:

respectfully,
judih

it's this friday, judih... the 18th

haven't gotten a chance to post an announcement yet...

I wanted to do a Word Jam to Images this time but this last week got all screwed up with drama and there hasn't been time to figure out how it will work... so next time here 3rd fri in march, let's work on that, ok? pm or e me or i will you...

so, we'll rock'n'roll as we always do this coming friday, the 18th... That's the Word!

Thanks for asking!

I agree... ready for it.. bigtime!


(what do you mean you "don't make a february 21st?")

hi

bigtime babies want bigtime jam

(the date on the upcoming jams was friday feb 21 - that's what i was referring to)

okay...gotta make the announcement at the usual watering holes.

j (from school - on the run)

the date on the upcoming jams was friday feb 21 - that's what i was referring to

Geezzzz... Did I screw up somewhere? I don't remember announcing this anywhere yet. If I typed the 21st somewhere ... whoops!

Where was it? If it's here or on another site where I can edit, I'll go back and edit it.

Thanks, Judih! We appreciate your announcements and enthusiasm!

Yikes! Thanks e-dog.... I'll fix it.

I gotta go look at the Scroll to make sure they've got it right over there, too. That's the only other place it could be 'cause that's the only other place the schedule was posted.

edit - Just looked. It's fine over there. I must need glasses. Or a calendar with the correct year or to look at the correct month... geeezzzzz ... lol

Anyway, time to make a March schedule, too, so I'll be more careful next time.
