JAM CRUISE 3: GOOD TIMES ON THE BOAT!

"Last night I saw six bands, and I got to shower. I had a gourmet meal and a bottle of wine, I played blackjack, and I got to sleep in a bed. And then I went and saw more bands. I love doing festivals--I've been to a lot of them. Here you're in that festival setting, but you're not. " --Production manager Ethan Schwartz on the Jam Cruise phenomenon
