Starting Thursday, September 29th and running through October 3rd there will be a 5 day ds106 hippie extravaganza affectionately known as #bavastock. You wanna play, leave a comment. It will be aired on ds106radio, ds106tv, and on a blog near you. I am opening up my house, so if you are in the Frederickburg, VA area and interested let me know in the comments and I’ll get you all the details. And if you are coming in person or participating online, via radio, etc., leave your name in the comments, let us know in the comments/guest book đ And if you are a PST cretin, I will break you!!!
Watch the bava blog trailer!

Testimonials:
Generations from now, they won't call it the Internet anymore. They'll just say, "I logged on to the Jim Groom this morning.
-Joe McMahon
Everything Jim Groom touches is gold. He's like King Midas, but with the Internet.
-Serena Epstein
My understanding is that an essential requirement of the internet is to do whatever Jim Groom asks of you while you're online.
-James D. Calder
@jimgroom is the Billy Martin of edtech.
-Luke Waltzer
My 3yr old son is VERY intrigued by @jimgroom's avatar. "Is he a superhero?" "Well, yes, son, to many he is."
-Clint Lalonde
Jim Groom is a fiery man.
-Antonella Dalla Torre
âReverendâ Jim âThe Bavaâ Groom, alias âSnake Pliskinâ is a charlatan and a fraud, a self-confessed âused car salesmanâ clawing his way into the glamour of the education technology keynote circuit via the efforts of his oppressed minions at the University of Mary Washingtonâs DTLT and beyond. The monster behind educational time-sink ds106 and still recovering from his bid for hipster stardom with âEdupunkâ, Jim spends his days using his dwindling credibility to sell cheap webhosting to gullible undergraduates and getting banned from YouTube for gross piracy.
I am Jim Groom

And… if you are planning to attend, just know, it’s not all fun and games (see http://gnagarcia.wordpress.com/). We will make stuff. We will break stuff. We will rule the vertical, horizontal, and the “in your face plane”. Come equip and ready to rumble.
I’m ready!
Damn, wish I could be there.
To participate remotely, are you looking for live music? Poetry readings? Young Adult fiction? What?
I’m really bummed I can’t be there but my good friend Eric whom we tried to patch into ds106radio when he was in Afghanistan is now in DC and has expressed a willingness to be subjected to the madness of bavastock. Send me deets for him and I’ll pass them on if you’re down for having him.
@Mikahil,
We will be at my house on Saturday night, I’ll send you details.
