Was cancelled.
As per Liz, effectively the organizer:

Hello Jammers!

The spring is upon us!! We have felt the wonderful caresses of Sister Spring, even is she is having fun teasing us with her warm embraces and cold shoulders...

With the Spring.. comes the rain, comes the sun, comes the flowers and comes the FULL MOON JAMS!

Yes.. it is that time of the year...so mark you calenders please!

This email is to give everyone a little bit of a wake up call.

The first Full Moon of the Spring time was scheduled for Tuesday Night March 30th.. alas though there WILL NOT be a jam this month.

While all of us fire spinners and drummers are itching to get out and stretch our arms.. the fields of the Lake Front are WAY!!! to wet for us to be sharing space and dance on.

I know you must be thinking.. BUMMER.. for we are too! It is the best though for this area of the park, for all of us to be patient for one more month.

So please.. continue to read this email, send it to your friends, mark your calenders and get ready for an amazing wonderful Chicago season of Fire, Drums, friends and family.

ALL THE IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR 2010

Full Moon Jams are a community event: Fire Spinners from Chicago and beyond gather together, with the passion filled music from local drummers to share with you their combined passions. The result: an evening of beautiful flames, dances, music and laughter.

The jams always start around the time of the sunset. and always end by 10:15pm. Everyone must be in their cars and out of the park by 11:00pm.

Jam happen rain or shine... but please know that these events, despite their size, are informal in many ways. No one fire spinner or drummer is required to come and share gifts at the jam. Thus.. sometimes there are less drummers and sometimes their are less fire spinners. This is just how it is.

If you are a fire spinner and are not on the Chicago Fire Tribe email list.. please email chicagofiretribe@gmail.com and introduce yourself, so we can add you to the list of fellow fire friends here in Chicago.

The Jam is open to everyone and anyone. It is a free event and will continue to be. This event is NOT organized by the City of Chicago.. it is put together by a community of fire loving friends.

Important things to know about the Jam.. and please help everyone know these important things.
The Jams are a family event.. please no alcohol
The Jams have worked hard to develop a great working and understanding relationship with Local Area Police.. please be kind to them, they are our friends.
The Jams are a LEAVE NO TRACE event.. this means.. pack it in, pack it out. Please clean up after yourselves and if you see and litter, please help and clean it up.

The Location of the Jam
This is the actual address of the field where the jam is held:

5050 N. Simonds Dr Chicago, IL 60640
west side of Simonds Dr

please note::: The jam is NOT!!! at Foster Ave Beach.. it is South of the beach, on the west side of the path.

go to www.googlemaps.com and plug in the address.

DRIVING:
Foster Ave and the Lake front.. . *not the beach!*
If you take Lake Shore Drive to Foster Ave, turn right and go east (towards the Lake) on Foster Ave.

So, I got really excited and really bummed in a matter of minutes reading this thread!

But, since I still like howling at the moon, even unofficially, this sounds like fun anyway...I'll be there!

I passed by on my way home. There were about 30 people there, no fire performers but plenty of drums.

Just got back. I'm glad everyone came anyways.
the fire dancers showed up later,
after the big spring moon rose up over the lake and smiled on us.
plenty of drums also a sax, flute and a didgeridoo! too
