I have to say, in hindsight, I would have preferred CanJam not be used. Gene came up with the term and I was the first one to use it for an event. My big problem with Jude is that he takes and takes and really gives nothing back. Having said that there is little we can do to change that at this point. It has been used for the past 3 years at RMAF. I know next to nothing about trademark law so I have no idea what could be done or should be done. In the end, whether it's CanJam Chicago or CanJam at RMAF it's just an event for us to attend. If more members showed up and either brought gear or just came to check out the gear, it would be no different than other CanJams except for all the speaker rigs that are available to check out. I do not get the push back for this event. I hope to be there again this year because last year I had a great time, was able to hang out with friends and check out all the great gear. If you are not coming because the timing is bad, understood. If you are not coming because of the name used, I'm not sure what to say.
