No Jam in the Dam in 09

wow these festies are falling as quick as the investment banks in this country.

Dang. Wish you the best Armand.

Get better dude. I'm planning for 2010.

Get well soon armand

and to think that this was going to be some peoples festival in exchange for langerado

Ok, so let me get this straight;

Organizers of Langerado do one of the dumbest things ever and it to Miami (certainly not going to that)

Jam in the Dam gets cancelled (at least it's still a great place to go with or without JITD).

Good grief - what the hell is the world coming too? What's next I wonder?

I usually attend both festivals.

March 2009 has been totally ruined in just a couple of days.

My best to Armand and his recovery.

It's a week of WTF

if the worst thing in your life is a couple festies getting canceled, then consider yourself blessed. hopefully Armand gets better so he can, ya know, keep on living for a while. look at the big picture my friends!

I was already saving money to go back for this again...i hope this comes back because its an amazing time

Wasn't there, but assume you are talking about Particle, and losing Charlie Hitchcock. But most importantly, get better Armand. Hopefully I will be over in Europe in 2010.

The Disco Biscuits were talking about losing Sam Altman during JITD 2005.

whoa double lung transplant. is that common? it sounds damn near impossible. I wish them all the best.

All the best, Armand :-) 2010 it is!

Get well soon Brodda!

Get better man, thats rough news

shit, if I lived in amsterdam I'd probably need a double lung transplant at some point too. Hope he gets better and I hope this fest will continue next year.

Spend another few seconds and read my entire post instead of the first line. As you can see I sent will wishes to Armand. If you'd like to take another minute out of your day and check the JITD message board I've known about his unfortunate illness for over a month and sent well wishes on there too. His friends were attempting to keep JITD going in 2009, but obviously he plays a vital role.

Maybe you should refrain from making comments until you know the entire story and read the entire post instead of wasting time slagging people(s) for making a simple comment that I've received some not so favorable news in the past couple days.

Thanks for trying to put me in my place though.

See you in 2010 Armand.

Wakarusa seems to have run into some problems too:

well miami is going to cost what both these festivals put together would, so i guess ill go to langerado for the sole purpose of keeping my every year streak up.

and melody trip scrapes articles

on that melody trip article, a message to Mosiman of wakarusa, "get the hell out of kansas."

First off, get well Armand. It's a shame their won't be a JITD in '09 but it's good to see that he is very optimistic about his health, and the future of JITD. I went in '05 and had one the best times of my life and vowed to make it back there again. In the meantime their are a lot of other great festivals to hit up and this will give me/us plenty of time to save up for JITD 2010 !!

what does the u.s. economy have anything to do with this news? This is obviously about the man who made this possible and him getting better hopefully. i wish him the best. travispf be still. love you all and hope for the man behind the action to be well.

its always sad when anyone is sick. A double lung transplant sounds serious as hell, Ive never even heard of a double?? Maybe next year, phish will be back, so the smaller jambands will not have an issue (as they have always stated they did when phish was around) so the lineup will be even sicker..... I went to the first one... one suggestion I would have would be to maybe rent out a floor of a club and get a sick DJ to do an after party. This may sound odd, but I found that amstredamn does not have a crazy late night life, other than the um obvious.....

Next time Phatboy, PLEASE review the entire entry before you hit the keyboard. It amazes me that a small section of people who take a moment to write on here aren't capable of reading a complete entry and only concentrate on certain comment or a specific lines in a message. Phatboy, I'm quite sure you're capable of doing such. Also, it appears you are unable to understand that the first post by (umphscr) mentioning festivals falling like the investment banks was just a light hearted reference to the past week events and nothing more.

I've been to a couple JITD's and Armand's vision and creation is the best Jam experience going period. He should be in control of some of the other festivals that are failing, because he surely knows what it take to make them successful. JITD will certainly be back in 2010 with Armand at the helm after he works through his recovery.

there's a festival in my mind and it's always free!

Oh know, I'l give him one of my lungs to keep this awsome festie going. I would!

NO*

Get better soon, Armand! You organize one hell of a party!!!

how the f do all u wooks afford to go this festy... let me in on ur secrestwould love to been at all the JITD what a place for a fet

good luck bro man

i am very sad by this news and hope armand has speedy recovery. this festival is like none other and i can't wait to get back someday. most of the people who go to this festival work for a living and save their money to attend. there are no wooks at this festival from what i saw the first 3 years. get a job now so you can start saving for 2010!

somebody must have told amsterdam that bisco sucks. haha. dont worry kids, me saying that wont make them stop playing shows you can take your drugs at.

well having read the article now, i do hope that dude recovers ok. bisco sucks. booyah!
