Hi, everyone!
We’re continuing on with our holiday-themed jam sessions! Last week, we focused on getting ourselves into the spirit of the holiday season.
This week, we’re going to catch the next reindeer flight to the North Pole with our own sack stuffed full of…
Hi, everyone!
I hope all of you Jammers out there had a very Happy Thanksgiving with loved ones!
All right, it’s officially after Thanksgiving, so now, I can finally open the floodgates and unleash my personal avalanche of tunes that I love jammin’ to this time of year!
So starting now, I am officially…
Hi, everyone!
As I’m sure all of you Jammers out there are aware, next Thursday is Thanksgiving!
So this week, “jam” takes on a whole other meaning, as we “jam” to…
Hi, everyone!
If you’re in the Chicagoland area, you know we’ve been having some crazy weather lately. Of course, this is par for the course in the Chicagoland area.
But even so, it can be hard to withstand the constant swinging from one weather extreme to another.
That’s where I come in!
This week, cozy up to your radio (or computer or mobile device), and tune in as we jam to…
Hi, everyone!
I hope you all went out to vote on November 4, if not earlier! I don’t need to tell you how important it is to vote, so I’ll just move on to why we’re all really here: the announcement of this week’s theme for our jam session!
Well, you know me: I can’t let an event like an election go by without acknowledging it on Jammin’ with Jamie, so this week, we’ll be jammin’ to some…
Hi, everyone!
I did the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge! Idina Menzel and James Snyder, thank you for the challenge!
Pee-wee Herman, Gonzo the Great, and Communications Residential College (CRC) residents past and present, you’ve been challenged!
You can make a donation to the ALS Association, too, at alsa.org. It’s a great cause!
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!
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…
