Re: Old School Jamline

I'm curious, how many old school jamliners are around still?  



What were YOU doing when you first joined Jamline?




I joined Jamline soon after the release of Synkronized, which I believe was my
senior year (age 17) of high school and I'm now a 2nd year master's student
(age 23). (This is a mostly non-American list so I put ages for those who might
not know what high school or a master's degree is)
