Still Flyin' On The Madness Of SXSW

OJ from the San Francisco collective on jams, jams and more jams...

Share

OJ here - Still Flyin's guru just checking in after what was about the buck wildest party I've ever freakin witnessed. 4 days of uberjamming the likes the world has never seen!!! Where to start, where to end - no one really knows because when you're in the middle of a level 10 hammjamm - you have no way of telling which way is which. Except you know where the sky is because you just keep jamming higher up into that thing. Like jamming so hard into the sky that your shoes disintegrate.

Ok so sheish...let's try to harness this jam. First off we had 8 shows in 4 days. All of them totally dominated the previous one and by the end of the weekend we were a SUPERMACHINE OF RADICAL RIFFS. However, the most important part of SXSW was not the shows, or impressing the media, or any of that stuff - it was about jamming with your friends. And let me tell you we did more of that than the mind can handle.  Check this list out of the stuff we jammed - just jammed, no mind worries, nothin - just jammed this list. Check out our sxsw jam list:

-about 400 high fives
-about 10 point fives
-a midnight alley way jam
-a scarry dude hijack jam
-a fake puke jam
-a sax jam in the echo jam (BAKER STREEET!!!!)
-a pizza jam
-32 more pizza jams
-an ice cream jam
-a sharky all star jam
-a van jam
-a cici's vs. stevie b's jam
-a space flyin jam
-a bathroom jam
-a triple stream jam
-a shaq wrote back jam
-a mystery tent jam
-a hippy jam
-a bbq jam with freakin bevis tattoos jammin'
-a jam percentage jam
-an ice jam

And most importantly....mega friendship jam
I love these dudes in the is band more than anything. To witness all the positive vibes we were slamming on the city of Austin was incredible. I know for a fact that Austin is hungover this morning simply because of us. The rivers flow with the sweet water of hammjamming. SXSW should stand for Slamming Xtreme Smiles Wherever - cause damn - thats what we were doing. Get out of my car and come feel on our dreams. I love you dudes. All of you - riff forth with the world in fanny pack. Oh yeah - and remember to ARM WHIP THE CRAP OUT OF EVERYTHING.

Pizza,

OJ

PS - SHAQ WROTE BACK!"
