Hi, everyone!
That’s right, after a brief hiatus, we’re back to jammin’!
I hope you had a great Mother’s Day, no matter how you personally relate to the day. So, in honor of Mother’s Day, as well as Father’s Day, which is right around the corner (Sunday, June 15), this week, we’ll be jammin’ to…
Hi, everyone!
I apologize in advance for reminding you of this… but on April 15, income taxes are due.
But wait! Whether you’re still working on them, are still putting them off, or are actually already done and just want to enjoy your accomplishment, we have a great jam session for you, as we jam to…
Hi, everyone!
I survived my third Dance Marathon (nudm.org)… only to immediately get very, very sick at one of the worst times possible (not that there’s ever a good time to get sick!).
On the bright side, I met Svengoolie (Svengoolie.com) again at the Brookfield Zoo AAZK Spaghetti Dinner (BrookfieldZoo.org), benefitting Vital Ground!
Hi again, Sven!
But after a couple of weeks off, we’re back to jammin’, and my goodness, do we have a great theme to jam to this week! I’m going to be honest: I’ve wanted to do this theme for a while, but I wasn’t sure how to tie it into a current event or season, and I also wasn’t sure how it would go over with my fellow Jammers. But now, not only do I have the perfect current event tie-in, but I’ve also been jammin’ with all of you long enough to realize that this is right up our (awesome) alley!
So…
“It’s time to play the music! It’s time to light the lights! It’s time…”
Hi, everyone!
As I’m sure many of you “Jammers” out there are aware, this Sunday, March 2, at 7:00 pm Eastern Time (6:00 pm Central Time) on ABC, the one and only Ellen DeGeneres will take the stage to host the 86th Academy Awards!
So this week, we’re going to go for the gold! No, not the Olympic gold: we’re going to …
Hi, everyone!
Valentine’s Day is a very divisive holiday. Most people either seem to love it with all their hearts or loathe it with every fiber of their beings.
Either way, though, Valentine’s Day is here again. But no matter how you feel about the holiday, I can guarantee you that you’ll love this week’s jam session, as we jam to…
Hi, everyone!
For those of you affected by the “polar vortex” that much of the country is experiencing right now, I hope you’re staying warm and safe!
While thinking about possible themes for this week’s jam session, I realized that we’re only a couple of weeks away from Valentine’s Day. Now don’t worry: our annual jam session to unconventional and hilarious love songs is coming up!
But romantic love isn’t the only type of love. (For those of you who have seen Frozen, I’m sure you’ll agree. For those of you who haven’t seen Frozen… you need to. You can read why here.)
So grab a buddy (or just keep him or her in mind), as we jam to…
… Is it really “friendly” to leave us in suspense like this?!
Hi, everyone!
Various life events apparently conspired to make it so that Jammin’ with Jamie was unable to “jam” last week. I apologize for that.
But in light of this, I made sure that this week’s theme would be so much fun, it’ll more than make up for our unexpected one-week hiatus!
People across Chicago and many other areas of the United States are currently bundling up to face the cold weather––– and, I hope, in many cases, enjoy it. As we do so, the often-parodied “ice breaker” question (pun intended), has taken on new significance, as we all turn to the bundled-up stranger next to us and ask…
Hi, everyone!
Jammin’ with Jamie is back! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season, and that your new year is off to a great start!
A lot’s happened over the past few weeks. I saw Wicked again, saw some amazing movies, and I’ve been writing a lot. Plus, I saw “Sventa Claus” (Svengoolie) (Svengoolie.com) at Alternate Reality Comics in Chicago on December 14! What does “Sventa” look like? Here’s a picture:
“Hooray for Sventa Claus! Yay yay for Sventa Claus!” (If you get that reference, congratulations! You’ll now have that song stuck in your head all day!)
To celebrate the new year, as well as acknowledge the fact that, given our timeslot, most people are actually waking up to a new day as they jam with us, this week jam session’s theme is…
Hi, everyone!
I’m sure you saw this coming. With only one last jam sessions remaining before we take a brief hiatus until January, it had to come up eventually.
Hi, everyone!
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
This is the time of year to remind ourselves of all that we’re thankful for. While I was doing just that, I figured I might as well write down my thoughts and share them with all of you!
