Special Events: vol. 1 [harvesting the fam]

Here I am writing to you with great anticipation of tomorrow's event. Harvesting the Fam is taking place tomorrow, all day from 2 pm am to 2 am at the CAW centre on the Univrsity of Windsor campus. Now you ask, what does this have to do with CJAM and this blog? Well let me tell you. CJAM is a proud member of the Windsor arts community and is an active participant in locals arts festivals all over the city. So when the opportunity came to help out this amazing event, run by none other than CJAM DJ Murad Erzinclioglu as well as Benjamin Young Hart. CJAM has become a large part of the festival, broadcasting from the basement stage (the old Thirsty Scholar) at the original Harvesting the FAM and then this year broadcasting from both the basement as well as the Sturgeon Records outdoor stage. That plus the CJAM Atrium stage which hosted acoustic acts in the CAW centre and a buttload of CJAM volunteers who pitched in to try and make the day run as smooth as possible. But I really don't wanna take any credit away from Murad, Ben and all the other volunteers, because without them the event would not have existed.

But back to the actually festival itself:

15 Films - 44 Artists - 34 Music Acts / 1 Day - 12 Hours - 0 Dollars

The festival is also getting a lot of media coverage as well.

Recap after the FAM....
