Does anyone know why the 21C Jim James solo show has been cancelled?
Dammit...I was looking forward to this so much!
explain "logistical and technical controls" to me...please!
Yes, the announcement put a damper on the day. I was looking forward to hearing Jim solo again.
yeah, this totally blows! The link on the main page just takes you to a webpage where you can buy tickets for the show that isn't happening. I'm sure I'll get my money back but I would have rather seen Jim. :'(
i'm guessing Jim didn't have the right kind of PJ's for this show....

Is that really necessary?

is what necessary? my comment or the "news" release?
i just don't understand what that means?
Well this is certainly disappointing :(
Is it necessary for someone to explain what that means to you? Shit happens sometimes.

i understand that "shit" happens sometimes...i was just curious what happened.
and please...drop the "dick" attitude...i love the jacket more than anything and i am not upset nor mad that this happened. just very disappointed because i was looking forward to seeing a solo Jim show...hoping to hear him do Steam Engine, maybe Tyrone, and many other classics.
so "Corey"...you don't have to be a "dick"...just wanted to know what was going on. chill out.
Wasn't trying to be a dick. I feel like balls today and came here and saw someone wanting an explanation. I don't feel like they really need to say anything other than what was said already.
Sorry if you think I was being a dick. Also, there's no need for the quotation marks around my handle. That's my real name.
I'll go back to being sick now.

sorry man...i am a little wine drunk...just took offense to that.
i didn't think they owed me an explanation...but if you pay $21 for a show...i was just curious as to what else is going on...is there an added date they are playing as a band? or is something else going on?
if you paid $21 to see Jim play and it was cancelled you wouldn't be curious as to why it was cancelled? that is all...just curious. sorry again....you aren't a "dick"...you couldn't be...you are a Jacket fan! anyway...hope you feel better!
Thanks.... and sorry again if it seemed dick-ish. I should know better than to post when I feel like this. I took a 3-hour nap and woke up with that "what the fuck day is it?" feeling.

c'mon cmc, if you're going to be a little drunk, at least misspell a word or two.
I spell BETTER the more I drink.
Didn't you realise that you must never question why Jim and the guys cancel gigs?
It seems to be an unwritten rule here. People get very defensive/abusive if you do

Actually it's sarcasm rather than a defense mechanism (for me). Life will go on if the Jacket cancels. Hell, life will go on if they never played another show.

life will definitely go on, but it would be less meaningful! :(

oh come on now. "defensive/abusive"?
it looks like the whole event was cancelled...
If I had to guess I'd bet there were logistical problems with closing down Main Street for this event. I expect the city had something to do with the whole thing.
damn the city.
i was looking forward to that. :(
Jim is now scheduled to play solo in Camden, NJ on that date at the XPEN show. No word on the official site but saw it in the Philly Inquirer this weekend.
