Im really trying to get a rail jam off the ground in downtown GR. Im talking to a couple of local promoters and also working on a couple liability issues with the city but nothing serious.I've got a couple bands interested. Food stands. Itll be a loose semi formal type thing, like a jam for 2 or 3 hrs, unlimited runs and anyone who dominates consistently 'wins'. small prizes im sure. If anybody has more strings to pull let me know, help is welcome!! Im shooting for mid-march. eM me at teatr@fsuimail.ferris.edu serious inquirys please!!! i dont want my eM flooded. Ill post further developments ASAP...LETS PUSH THE LOCAL SCENE!!!!...peace

sounds like fun if you can get it to happen. are you talking urban rails, or park rails set up downtown, either would be fun, but urban would be way hard to make happen i think. better off doing low key urban missions all winter long ;)

My cousins live in Allendale which is like 20 mins from downtown G.R. so if you can make this jam happen I'd be interested in a trip. I could stock up on herbs too, it's like 1/6 of the price we pay in the u.p.!


I dont know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

OK the latest developments...Im currently waiting on the city for the reservation forms for the park. It will be held at one of the following...Calder Plaza, Ah Na ba when Park(by gr ford museum), sixth street park, or riverside. Riverside is free of charge. the others have like a 50-100 dollar rental fee so we might end up charging like 5 or 10 bucks to ride. But it would be at a nicer venue...The only thing i dont have is a start ramp. I was thinking a rented set of bleachers with snow packed all in the stairs?? I have rails but no boxes so if you have cool stuff bring it by all means!!! This Will Be Fun!!! I look foward to seeing everyone there!!! Ill have more details ASAP this week!!

JUst for a note:
MARQUETTE crew will make the drive with bout a dozen or so, if not more, if the date was MARCH 19th, we have a freestyle camp on the 26th, so that date would be a bummer

thanx for keeping it going fellas, as far as updates go, we're shopping for insurance policies right now in case anyone decides to sue, and theyre expensive so we need to raise money. Sponsors are excellent about promotions but theyre stingy about handing out cash. If anyone has ideas holla. No problem about snow, if its nessecary we can import some from a parking lot or something!!
