We had an excellent turnout for the first Jam of the year! Over 10 eager artists packed the Shanghai with their burning passion and creativity.  Thanks for your patience for the long wait on the uploads!

Thanks to our regular and semi-regular artists for coming out: Douglas McLeod, Dwight Williams, Liz Walsh, Steve Bissonnette, Clayton Jacobs, Mike Valiquette, Gérard Bélec and Andrew Stutt! Also welcome to Keith Savage, one of our new artists who turned up and contributed fun and interesting twists to the storylines ;-)

I also want to thank the friendly members of the press, journalism students at both Carleton University and Algonquin College for their continued interest in the Jam and promoting it in the local media.
