SEPT. 18 — Because Joe Bob and Darcy are going to be hosting movies ALL NIGHT both nights of the 2024 Jamboree, we have to limit the signings at the event both nights because they can’t be two places at once. While we have considerable Drive-In mojo, our cloning experiments since the first Jamboree have failed.

(That’s what we get for commissioning Herbert West’s younger brother, Elron, whom we later learned quit school after just three and a half days of pre-med at Tulsa Community College.)

Rather than having everybody standing in line when they should be partying like jungle animals and boogeying till they puke, a limited number of 100 meet-and-greet autograph tickets will be honored prior to the show on both nights. The tickets for the signing are $40. These will go on sale at 9 p.m. Eastern on Friday, Sept. 20, on the Tixr site and include an item from the booth to be signed. Signings will start at 4 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 4 and Saturday, Oct. 5. In order to get through the maximum number of people and start our all-nighters on time, selfies won’t be an option at the Jamboree signing booth this year.

There’s going to be a longer meet-and-greet at Nightmare Toys, 1309 S Commerce St., Las Vegas, NV 89102 the evening of Oct. 6. Joe Bob also will be signing items before and after his walking tours (but not during — you’ll be walking too fast to keep up with him). You might be able to get a selfie with Joe Bob at the tours, and absolutely can get one with JB and Darcy at Nightmare Toys.

If you absolutely cannot make the Sunday meet and greet, are not attending one of the walking tours and don’t already have a Joe Bob and Darcy signature at your home, then please buy an autograph ticket, which is good for one item from the booth and an autograph at the tent located near the stage.

If you can make the Sunday appearance at Nightmare Toys, then please go that route to get the most face time with JB and Darcy!

AUG. 25 — Apologies for the radio silence. It’s taken a while to finalize some things with the Jamboree, but all will be revealed by JBB after the Nightmareathon (if not sooner).

Here is a mini-update: Vendor payment deadline is Sept. 4. Vendors who were interested in showing up have already been contacted via email and can pay by check or electronically if they still plan on selling at the West Wind. Email joebobjamboreeinfo@gmail.com to get the ball rolling on that.

Secondly, the highly anticipated tickets for Joe Bob’s walking tour are going to go on sale an hour before the marathon at 8 p.m. Eastern this Friday, Aug. 30, on the Tixr site when the crickets start chirping. He’ll be doing the tour twice the day of Sunday, Oct. 6, starting at noon. There will be 60 tickets available per tour. Tickets are $120 per person. This year’s route is to be determined — so if you did the tour last year and are looking to do it again, you might see the Atomic Bar on Fremont again.

Keep an eye out for more Jambo information at the usual official Joe Bob and Darcy spots (including here) for the latest and thanks for your patience!

JULY 2 — Early-bird pricing for the 2024 Jambo remains in effect because Joe Bob said so. But once the announcement is made about the programming, then the price’ll go up.

A bunch of people have been asking about camping. As mentioned above, the slots we’ve reserved for campers have sold out, so that’s why they’re not on Tixr anymore. There might be more spots made available closer to the date of the event (we’re talking September-ish), but that depends on a number of different factors. We will keep you posted if that happens!

Speaking of keeping you posted, we’re going to have some announcements about guests, Jambo merch pre-orders and other add-ons and details to make your 2024 Jamboree complete coming down the pike shortly. Keep an eye out at the usual spots!

— Ben

JUNE 1 — Please email any questions about the event to JOEBOBJAMBOREEINFO@GMAIL.COM. There are still a bunch of details that we’re going to announce (walking tour, merch, when campers can come in to set up, etc.). We all know you have questions & we’ll be updating with some answers, so please be patient and watch this space.

SPECIAL NOTE: Some of the add-ons like the BBQ were not showing up at first because one of our pets had an episode and spilled Mr. Pibb on my keyboard, so if you were buying your tickets from like 12:00:00.01 to 12:37:34.12 p.m. or so and want to feast on Friday on BBQ or partake in the vegan option (Joe Bob told me personally that he’ll be slingin some Q), head on back to the ticket site and add those on. You do not have to add an extra admission ticket to get at those or any other stuff we’ll be adding to complete your Jambo experience. Just make sure you use the same Tixr login and all will be well.
More to come! — Ben
