"Balloonstock"
By Jim Mensing VP T. Myers Magic, Inc.
Details Details Details. I called the hotel on Monday to make sure they would have the extra van for car pooling people to and from the airport. To my surprise the clerk told me that a handful of people were already checking in for the T &Jam. I just figured they had friends and relatives in the area they were going to visit with before the Jam but Tuesday rolled around and more people checked in, then more on Wednesday and by Thursday I was thinking maybe we should have leased a farm.
The Prejam was for some folks the best part of the convention. I know it spawned at least two spontaneous jam sessions that were some of the best learning experiences to happen over the course of the T & Jam. One at pool side and another at the Blue room in the round. I know there were others but these two were the most talked about.

"BRITISH INVASION"

"CALM BEFORE THE STORM"
Ken Stillman and friends hang out in the restaurant talking shop and no doubt wondering what's going to happen.
