Official DC Maryland and Virgina Jammy Jam Thread

DJ Remy USA 12:08 AM - 1 May, 2011
Started a new thread for this since I want to see happen. So if you wanna be apart of it start posting right here. Looking for volunteers and sponsor.
djvtyme85 12:14 AM - 1 May, 2011

This guy has loft in Baltimore, its pretty cool. I posted on a his facebook wall. Hopefully he'll drop in.
DJ Remy USA 2:54 PM - 1 May, 2011
I have a loft as well still not enuff space. We should either do this in someone backyard if its big enough or go to park.

Financial sponsors are a must and it has to come from us. Im not trying to make this any bigger than it needs to be. Just neeed to get the support going
DJitalSneaky 3:46 PM - 1 May, 2011
Anything you need Remy let me know. Unfortunately I live in an apartment though.

What kind of even are you thinking? More of a convention than jam session? Or vice versa? I'm in pretty good with the owner of S.H.E. productions (www.facebook.com) here in baltimore but she pretty much does LGBT stuff, with emphasis on the L.

I also could probably get cheap if not free access to a restaurant/bar in belvedere square (www.zen-west.com). I used to be the chef there, and I know he's always looking for events to fill the place.

Forgive me, I'm just riffing on ideas...

Had to goggle LBGT..... I will call you do you work weekends?
DJ Remy USA 4:00 PM - 1 May, 2011
To be more specific Im looking to have really just a family oriented jam session. Doesnt mean that you cant play music with curse words unless your some kind of holy saint. We are all DJs so Im sure our kids are more than exposed. Anyways I want to pretty much mirror the jammy jam in So Cal. Im thinking a few BBQ pits a few DJs cooking maybe a moon bounce for the kids and a few sets of TTs/CDJs set up. We show up eat drink spin meet and exchange contact info if so inclined thats pretty much it.

Glad your in DJitalSneaky
djvtyme85 5:09 PM - 1 May, 2011
That sounds cool, I'm willing to put up on some grub most def. What about sound? I'm sure all of us don't want are bauble fear in jeopardy so in guessing we can rent a rig?
DJ Remy USA 5:13 PM - 1 May, 2011
Hey looks like Im taking the lead on planning the DMV Jammy Jam. I want to first have a pre jam meet up so I can see how many people I have that are willing to participate in the event.
With that being said I want us to all meet up at Buffalo Wild Wings to discuss the ins and out of putting this jam together. I would like to see you there family members are welcome but try to keep your party small so we can actually fit inside the place.

What : DMV Pre Jammy Jam Meet up
When: May 14, 2011 @ 3pm (times may slide to the left or right try to stay flexible if possible)
Were: Buffalo Wild Wings College Park
10240 Baltimore Ave
College Park, MD 20740

To RSVP just text or call me @ 202-230-4604 I need your name and how many people so I can tell wild wings how big my party will be.

See ya there!!

Not normally, sometimes they will put in a job on the weekends, but its usually voluntary. They are really good about it if I have plans, even durning the week.
DJitalSneaky 11:43 PM - 1 May, 2011
Any ns7 users are welcome to use mine, that way all you'd have to travel with is your laptop and headphones.
Dj Nyce 2:06 AM - 2 May, 2011
i would have no problem bringing my 12's, mixer and speakers (either the peavy sp4-gs or the jbl eon's).

Well I can bring my appetite and some to-go boxes...lol. Im down so far, nothing on my calendar for the 14th, its a 2.5 hr ride to Baltimore from here. May bring the whole family and we make a weekend out of it maybe take them to the aquarium in Baltimore or walk around DC again. Keep me posted and let me know what i need to bring, Cash is always easier and lighter...lol
DJ Remy USA 12:43 PM - 2 May, 2011

FlexyD 7:25 PM - 2 May, 2011
I would love to come, unfortunately I won't be able to make it on the 14th of May. I hope the party is a success so we can definitely have more in the future. I could possibly help in securing an outdoor venue in VA for a future Jammy Jam later this year.
DJ Remy USA 11:05 PM - 2 May, 2011

Bezzle we dont live in real city with plenty of people. The DMV covers alot DC MD and VA. Lots of DJs lots of families your welcomed to drive up if you want.
DJ Remy USA 9:31 PM - 4 May, 2011
Ok Im still looking into venues it looks like we will be doing it outside. Im really hoping for someone with a huge backyard as I want this to be simple but fun
MelonHead 9:40 PM - 4 May, 2011

yea I have one at my apt but if its a big turn out a club house might not suffice. Especially with the noise that DJs bring. Plus I wanted to try to bridge the gap between being a DJ and being a family man. In most cases we separate out DJ life from family life and this is good chance for the families to see what we do and why we do it. Kinda like a band of brothers kind of thing. I figure a state park be the best idea cause I want to have moon bounce for the kids to play in
MelonHead 10:00 PM - 4 May, 2011
damn.. I got a bounce house to.. my kids are grown now and have grown out of it.. still may be able to make da trip though and will bring it if I can make it.
Dj Nyce 1:16 PM - 5 May, 2011
there's a huge park on a hill where i live. Fort Lincoln NE DC.

there is a gazebo, power, restrooms. i believe it is 1st come first serve, but i will look into it.
DJitalSneaky 3:21 PM - 5 May, 2011
We should do it in the middle of Dupont Circle, although that would probably generate more attention that we were looking for!

Awesome I know were that is I didnt think about that. If it is first come first serve we might have to get a noise permit for the music. Normally those are pretty cheap but i never got one in DC.

Everyone bring your ideas on the 14th I know some said they cant make it but try to make if you can. I know you guys got shows and plans that day its just a preliminary meeting so we can kinda get a feel for it and see what page everyone else is on.
Swyft 6:02 PM - 5 May, 2011
I'll be at the meet n greet next Sat fellaz..............

I dont even know if we can legally have anything there. Attention is kool but we cant feed DC but we can sure spin for em
FlexyD 11:27 PM - 5 May, 2011
I actually live out in the boonies in VA now and my landlord owns a big farm. I want to see if he would allow us to have a party there as there would be no need for noise permits, etc. It would be perfect for a party like this but I'm just not sure if he will allow it. Hopefully I'll find out over the weekend.

Also we have rented out picnic areas at a local park here in richmond before and have had turntables set up, can't remember how much it cost but I know we had to be out before sunset.

Hey man, I am not gonna make it. I didnt get back from packing at the Food bank until 245pm. No way i can make it up the road in time. Takes about 2hrs. When i was on TJs DJs we use to webcam meetings and conference call. I wish i would have thought of it sooner. I am still down for the big jam and will contribute a few dollars to make sure everything goes well. Holla back

DJ Remy USA 11:43 PM - 23 June, 2011

Imagin 1:14 AM - 25 June, 2011
Unfortunately it will be too chilly in the DMV come October (when I finally come home) so hopefully their will be something in the cards for 2012.
