The Greatest Open Mic in the World

Yes a book about jammit experiences is now being collated for both historical and hysterical reasons.

 

A get together at the Woodford Bowls Club at 6:30 pm on 4th May 2022 you can meet the collators and ask questions about submissions.
(May the fourth be with you)

 

Now read on for jammit book info

 

Who can contribute?

If you were involved as a musician, technician, or magician, register to be involved in having your experience recorded for future generations.

If you turned up to dance, prance or romance your input is welcomed.

If you turned up every Thursday night for the music, camaraderie or anything that rhymes or does not rhyme with camaraderie, then the record of your experience is also sought.

In fact, anyone who had the “jammit experience” at any time between 05.05 2011 and 24.11.2016 is invited to submit their recollection of their experience. There are stories out there that we may not know about and we will be including information that you may not yet know … but by the end of the year …. you will.

 

How can you get involved?

If you qualify as outlined in Who can contribute? this is what you need to do to be involved and have your experience included in the book. Register in the facebook group “jammit authors” so that we know you want to be involved. If you are not on facebook and want to participate, contact the collators (listed below) and let them know “you want in”. We expect everyone who will want to be involved will have become aware of the project by the end of June 2022. Please spread the word.

What do I have to do?

  1. Write your contribution and “mull over it” tweaking, adding, or subtracting until you are happy with it. Have others proofread it to correct grammar and spalling. Write as little as 150 words and as many as 500 words. Any number in between is best for most submissions. ie. “It was good” is not enough and “War and Peace” is too much. The font and size of text will be congruent throughout the publication so leave room for pictures. {remember a picture tells a thousand words}
  2. Select up to 5 high resolution photos (look at the jammit site) that you are happy to have printed with your submission. We won’t print them all (unless I am in them) but we need options that you are happy with and a selection of 5 reduces the chance of doubling up on a photo should some else also select the same photo.
  3. Submit your copy (what you wrote) with your photos before the “due date” June 30th, 2022, via the email address we will advise in the “jammit authors” group. To be advised in the coming weeks.
  4. Have a cigar (not recommended) or a cup of coffee as you have completed the required task.

What is the recommended writing format?

You have complete writing license so you can write your copy anyway you wish.
To keep the writing style consistent and to make it more relevant many years into the future where others, who you will never meet, but may read your account, may find your experience more personal if they feel they know you, … so … have someone introduce you before you start your account. This introduction can be done by you if you write your introduction from a 3rd person’s perspective.

  1. The introduction should be written in the 3rd person. That is, as though someone else, not you, wrote the beginning of the article to introduce you.
    An example is given below.
  2. Write your article in the first person. That is from your personal perspective.
    An example is given below.

Who can I contact for advice and information?

Sue Jones, Marlene Clews, Ben Little and John Lynn will collate and format the book.
If you don’t know them personally contact them via the “jammit authors” group.

The costing of the project (ie how much will each book cost) will be determined by the size of the book and how many books are ordered by contributors. Here is your chance to be a published author but remember if you have kids or grandkids, order enough copies because I suspect there will only be one publication run and much more affordable than print on demand options.

The “jammit authors” group details will be made known in the weeks ahead.

Regards

John jammit

 

Rationale

In the future, believe or not, you may not be as famous or as well-known as you are today. “The legend of jammit” should be viewed as a history book, and possibly from a similar perspective of a school yearbook. If we keep the same structural and writing format as outlined below, we will have writing congruency and consistency in information delivery.

In short

  1. Introduce yourself to the reader as a one friend would introduce another.
  2. Write of your personal experience highlighting “amusing anecdotes”.
  3. Select and forward high-resolution pictures with your submission.
  4. Complete the task ideally using between 150 and 500 words (English preferred)
  5. Select a size 12 font in Georgia or Times Roman and fit on a standard format A4
  6. Increase or reduce photo size so that your contribution fits on one page.
  7. Include Amusing anecdotes, information of interest associated with the jammit years.

“The legend of jammit” writing format example

Introduction (in the 3rd person)

Waylen Montgomery is a local Woodford identity whose family allegedly own the Nuclear Power Plant in Simpson Street off Iron Bark Drive. The plant supplies loosh energy to selected Woodford businesses, parts of Wamuran and Lichtenstein, a small suburb on the eastern side of Bumjemup in Western Australia, in keeping with the directive from the Ombudsman’s office in fulfilling the agreement of a lost wager in a pub in Transylvania in 1647. Waylen’s father has a history with some musical greats and lived next door to a roadie for the Grateful Dead in the Canyon in California the 1960’s. Waylen, being of Nephilim descent naturally has 6 fingers on each hand making the playing of his 7 string Ibanez Prestige model 6o66 a breeze.

Your Personal Experience (in the 1st person)

I must admit that I was a closet musician for most of my life but at the tender age of 911 years, I discovered the “jammit family” and swapped singing into my sister’s hairbrush for the stage at the Woodford Bowls Club in front of real people who actually reflect an image in a mirror. Over the centuries I have adrenochromed and jammed with friends in garage bands but never had the opportunity to get up on a real stage and bite the head off a chicken, metaphorically speaking … LOL.  The “jammit experience” was my first opportunity and I was so thankful to the core band for support.

No more fake performances in the bathroom for me. We all have skeletons in the cupboard and being Anunnaki some of ours are 19 feet tall, but of all the experiences I have had the most memorable was one night in 2015. We were playing ACDC “Highway To Hell” and I got so excited I actually morphed into my lizard form on stage. It’s difficult to keep the 7.83 hertz stable when the music is pumping. Facebook took those live videos down, but the memories are still there.

My son Jacob, sold his interest in his NATO funded gain of function research lab Mod(ify)eRNA in the Ukraine, moved home and became a regular Thursday night participant. jammit helped bond our family and increased my friendships with lovely genuine humans. My special thanks go out to Hedley Lamarr who showed me how to play a B7. I didn’t realize how important a dominant 7th was in the key of E until I went to jammit.
