That Hxaro really hit the spot.
I am revitalated.
If you'll take me, Abom is in it to win it.

That would be great if we could start that early!

Are we in? That is to say, Octothorpe? If not, put us in this thing. Please.

The geek in me thinks it is awesome that there are 8 spots left after Octothorpe signed up.

That is all.

ROCK!

I have to reserve a spot, I'm hoping it'll be Thank Glennny For The Frisbee, but I need to confirm with Friz, otherwise Zipline it will be.

Welcome Calfborg & Glennny. 6 spots remain!!!

Go ahead and include The BeWells (just me without my sister). My schedule is wide open until the middle of August and I finally have all my gear set up again. It's about time I got back to making some music. It was a fun challenge last year and I'd regret not giving it another shot.

Niveous · Post by **Niveous** » Mon Apr 23, 2007 1:23 pm

The Bewells are in. 5 spots left!

Freakin' awesome, I was gonna say to you guys you should enter and then I thought "that'll make it a crapload harder for us!", but you're here anyway! This lineup is badass. I'm so excited, it's like SF world Cup.

I would like to see Minty Handy in this competition.

Best case scenario:

By some strange miracle we start the Nur Ein on Wednesday afternoon (highly unlikely), your trip would fall between the 6th and 7th rounds, giving you 3 days to make a song in each round.

The other timeframes are not so forgiving. For example, an April 27th start would mean that you would have only June 5th to give a song for the 5th round. A May 1st start would mean that you would only have the June 16th to put in a 6th round song.

There are some other time frames to look at but upon this preliminary look, it's a very very tough call.

Hmmm....maybe you could put the insane trivia questions back in! I kinda still want to do it, but I also don't want to take a spot from someone who won't likely fail. I mean, I can write a song in a day, right? Who will encourage me?! Speak up now!!

Just do it, Frankie! Worst case, you sing your song acapella into a phone from Spain

Whoa, I just now found this thread, then immediately got paniced I might've missed participating. But, looks like room for one more,
WreckdoM is in.

Question for the judges: Do any of you plan to use objective criteria for judging? Or will you just rank-order the songs, the way we did it last year? (Not to imply that one approach is better than the other. I'm just curious.)
