Jam Session on Temporary Hiatus
Submitted by Jeff Jones on April 5, 2008 - 12:48pm.We are going to be taking about a month break from the Thursday evening jam session. Tranquillo, the coffee shop we were holding the jam at, has closed down so we do not have a location at the moment to hold the jam. I am also swamped with end of semester schoolwork so I decided to just wait a month or so until school wraps up for me to start scouting a new place. If anyone knows of a place that would welcome our group on a Thursday evening, please let me know.
