Well, Old Man 2009 has scuttled out of porthole of time and a young 2010 has slid neatly into his place. What does this mean for the boys at Avatar?

It means Jam Cruise!

Probably one of the most-looked-forward-to events of any given year, Jam Cruise has just completed its eighth voyage. I haven’t heard the report from Rear Admiral Chip Smith yet, but I’m betting it went something like this.

It was probably a lot warmer in the tropics than it was here in Atlanta. There were probably a lot more cool bands playing at all times, and there were probably a lot of chicks in bikinis wandering around. Tell me that doesn’t sound like a good time.

Hopefully we’ll get the full report shortly, complete with photos, but having been on the cruise myself I know that everyone involved is already looking forward to next year. I got to hear an impeccable version of Lionel Richie’s “Dancing on the Ceiling” performed by Perpetual Groove when I went.

Keep kicking ass, Jam Cruise!
