Jerry Jam lays down the law

Forums:

I've never been but it sounds like a pretty good time,

except for the ambulance rides

 

ATTENTION JAM-NATION !! 
For the longevity of our festival, we need you all to listen up to the following statement. 
We recently had our pre-jam meeting with the local authorities. The number one priority that came out of that meeting is 'we need to get a handle on the distribution (dealing) of illegal drugs at our festival'. The last 2 years we've had an increase of ambulance calls due to drug related issues. The majority of the emergency calls were due to folks that were sold the drug, NOT people that were doing their own. 
For this reason, we are further stepping up our enforcement of cracking down on drug dealers at our festival. Most other festivals search every vehicle entering. This year we will be increasing our random searches of vehicles . ALSO, on the festival grounds there will be searches of anyone our security team sees engaging in a deal. If you're not dealing anything, you have nothing to worry about. If you are caught dealing, there will be NO warning given. Your shit will be confiscated and you will be removed from the venue. 
 So fellow Jammers, if you love Jerry Jam and want it to continue, PLEASE share the word! Get this message out now before the Jam! AND at the Jam. If you are approached by someone trying to sell you shit, you can discreetly inform one of our inside security team wearing light green 'security' shirts.  
Its too bad our festival has reached this point, but it has. Seems like since the Vibes ended, some of the creeps have migrated north. Please help us rid OUR festival of these bad apples. These efforts will make Jerry Jam safer for everyone! 

I will close with a message to anyone reading this that thinks they might want to deal at OUR festival.
THINK AGAIN!! THIS IS YOUR ONLY WARNING! 
Don't bother coming if you're thinking about dealing. YOU WILL GET CAUGHT! Remember this. It's a lot easier to get caught these days....everyone has a camera in their pocket.
PS. You guys from Philly area. Don't bother coming....we are on to you.

I like how they don't mince words and beat around the bush. 

Was all in for this, but it's my father's 80th b-day. Priorities....

>>>>>>ATTENTION JAM-NATION

 

I hate that some people associate me with jamband music.  

 

I like The Grateful Dead, enjoy the occasional Phish show but pretty much despise the rest of this terrible genre.

i think its actually pretty insulting to use jerry's name for these half-bit drug jam orgies.

^  i like it turtle well said!   WOW  In my 20 plus years of fests ive never seen this...    telling attendees to rat others out, and that people are taking pictures thats nuts. 

 

>>PS. You guys from Philly area. Don't bother coming

Lol

HA.

Calling out the Philly gang.

Nice.

sounds like a great opportunity to sling drugs

PS. You guys from Philly area. Don't bother coming

This should apply to everything everywhere.

>>>>This should apply to everything everywhere.

 

 Lol,  we are everywhere Nugs

Hummmmm...........was going to go to this............

Hummmmm...........................

Christ, nobody's narcing on anyone. It's a small festival and they don't want drug deals or gas. Fuck, it even says that if you bring and do your head, no problems. 

That's how you keep it small and low key. As soon as mooches of wooks show up it becomes a shitshow.

What is this garbage

Selfish people suck.

Screw those uptight fucks.  I'm from Philly.  And I'll be at some real shows that weekend devil

Can Juggalo's come?

They r telling peeps to narc on peeps...lame city 

>>They r telling peeps to narc on peeps

This sounds more like Gregg Jam than Jerry Jam...

blaming the vibes peeps...once again lame city....and the gas doesn't come from Philadelphia anymore...it's more like Delaware peeps should stay home...Jerry jam...puhlease 

In that one post they legally indemnify themselves and also piss off a bunch of people, maybe to the point of not attending.

Good business move on the nitrous Mafia moving from Philly to Delaware. Even gas heads need more tax shelters.

Hard to believe this festy doesn't feature Negman on the bongos.

People will be pissed off that there won't be enough drug dealers there now so they might not attend?

All sorts of reasons. Timmy isn't attending because of the Jam Nation thing. Turts is pissed because they are using Jerry's name, so he's selling his tickets. Neil isn't coming because of Jerry's name, pictures and narcing. Jelly Roll put his tix up on Craigslist because he's loyal to the Vibe Tribe, and they were disparaged.

Meanwhile, Trebor is going to make a mint selling drugs to the 7 people who do attend after this fiasco.

Negman plays bongos?  I thought he blew a flute?

He shakes an egg a lot - and he also plays guitar.

 

A flute? I thought it was a dog?

Lol.

never heard of the festival. haha. 

philly! 

Brian K ^^^^OH im deff going to this festival!! Im pumped, great lineup!!! got tix awhile  this doesnt affect me, i agree with u stay smart safe etc.. shit will be fine. Im just not a fan of the insinuation of people recording others without their consent and telling on others. Other than that, I'm a dance my fuggin shoes off!!!   cheeky

all i said it was it sounds like a great opportunity.

so much for the acceptance of briank's dbmb artistic license

I really love this festival and am looking forward to a great weekend with friends coming up.  I really think the sketch-factor is pretty minimal at this place.  They do a good job.

Don't really understand the jabs at Philly specifically.  You can obtain gas easily from Billerica, MA.  Everyone knows this.  I don't think many folks in New England get their gas from Philly.  And, lastly, I have never seen gas at the Jerry Jam in my years of going.

 

A little off topic.  Has John Mayer ever sat on a stool an done an acoustic Friend of the Devil?  

>>> Negman on the bongos.

He's a shaker 

Damn! Ragging on the Philly peeps and calling on folks to Narc on other people.

 

Well, harsh my mellow...

Don't really understand the jabs at Philly specifically.<<

You've never been to the Mann, then?


 

....Or the ferry after a Camden show.

Lol. Such a professional statement made by Jerry Jam. Comical stuff. Let's get a whole bunch of drugbands and then complain about drugs at our concert. Philly. Hahahahaha. Way to dissuade one of the biggest markets in the north east from coming to your festival. 

 

 

John K Band headliner.... sounds like a doozi

 

Their website might predate the old Zone

 

 

^ Yea, definitely a pretty cringe worthy and unprofessional statement for sure.  

Luckily, they are better at putting on a festival than articulating themselves coherently via bulletin/announcement.

 

 

>>Such a professional statement made by Jerry Jam

Is there a possibility that the authorities Jerry Jam officials met with recently asked them to make that announcement that way or they would not sign off on their Festy happening?

 

When I was a member of the board of The Vermont Reggae Fest back in the 90's, the State Police made all sorts of demands on us before we could get a signed "public assemly" permit to hold the Fest.

 

This is probably why the Jerry Jam's statement starts like this:

>>For the longevity of our festival, we need you all to listen up to the following statement. 
We recently had our pre-jam meeting with the local authorities. The number one priority that came out of that meeting is...

For the longevity, local authorities and number one priority are big clue words.

Just bought tickets.

I don't have a cellphone, so I can't take pics of dealers and the Nitrous Mafia. Don't you all worry.

What did photographers do before cell phones ?

Miniature spy cameras that slid to the side to take a snap shot?

>>Just bought tickets.

Plans fall through with your old man?  Want to meet up?  Shoot me an email.
